Automatic Smart Parking

Abstract

This project proposes the development of a Smart Parking System (SPS) to address the increasing need for parking infrastructure due to the growth in automobile manufacturing and global population. The SPS utilizes infrared sensors to detect available parking spaces and inappropriate parking behavior. Various detection methods were compared to determine the optimal technique for building the SPS. The system includes features such as empty parking space identification, improper parking detection, display of parking areas, dimensional markers for parking spaces, payment facilities, and identification of different types of parking spaces. The study provides a comprehensive overview of how the SPS technology can be used from the time a vehicle enters a parking area until an empty space is found. The system architecture specifies key design elements such as sensor placement, the number of sensors required for each level, and notice boards for indoor and outdoor use.
