The project mainly aims to design an advanced parking slot booking system for parking any vehicle in the parking area. Security is the bigger concern for an individual or a firm.
A parking lot (British English: car park), also known as a car lot, is a cleared area intended for parking vehicles. Usually, the term refers to a dedicated area that has been provided with a durable or semi-durable surface. In most countries where cars are the dominant mode of transportation, parking lots are a feature of every city and suburban area. Shopping malls, sports stadiums, megachurches, and similar venues often feature parking lots in immense areas.
Modern parking lots utilize a variety of technologies to help motorists find unoccupied parking spaces, retrieve their vehicles, and improve their experience. This includes adaptive lighting, sensors, an indoor positioning system (IPS), and mobile payment options. The Santa Monica Place shopping mall in California has cameras on each stall that can help count the lot occupancy and find lost cars.
Recognizing the need for security of the vehicles we developed an advanced vehicle parking slot booking system with user-friendly access. Automation is the most frequently spelled term in the field of electronics. The hunger for automation brought many revolutions in the existing technologies. One of the technologies which had greater developments is RF communications. The result of this is the RFID cards which transmit a unique identification number. This number transmitted by the RFID can be read with the help of an RF reader. We make use of both these devices to construct an advanced slot booking system for vehicle parking system.
The concerned person of the vehicle should initially book a lot using GSM mobile, when the allotted slot is confirmed then the vehicle can be allotted a particular parking area, depending on the RFID cards. The decisions like whether slot areas are filled or vacant are taken by an onboard computer to which the RF reader is interfaced. The parking gate forms the output module and is interfaced with the same onboard computer. This onboard computer consists of a number of input and output ports. The onboard computer has commonly termed a microcontroller. The input and output ports of the controller are interfaced with different input and output modules depending on the requirements. In other words, the microcontroller acts as a communication medium for all the modules involved in the project. The device also consists of an LCD which displays the information about the status of the gate open and close.
