Parking management system

Project Title

Parking management system

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Finding parking space has become a daily concern nowadays whether it’s a government area,  public place or malls etc. We face many problems due to inefficient parking like wastage of time, More fuel consumption while idling,  potential accidents  occurs,Traffic congestion and inconvenience caused by vehicles searching for parking areas. To solve these problems we aim to design a smart parking system using IOT through which unoccupied parking spaces can be utilized in a better way, driver will be guided to exact available parking this will result in Providing cheap and efficient parking with less manual activity.

Project Objectives

The objectives of this Project are:

• To design an IoTs based Parking Management System which will ease the user  in  finding the available free slot and guiding them there.
• To develop a database for data management, analysis and presenting them to the user via an interactive website.
• To develop an android application that provide informative instructions and guidelines to help the user to check the availability of free space for parking and booking that slot accordingly.
• To make the system less costly and more efficient we are focusing on use of Wireless sensor Network/image processing instead of wired network.
• To develop full fledge Parking Management System that can handle parking management with more automation and less manual activity.

Project Implementation Method

We implement the project by dealing with the building or parking area manager. we provide them the facility then decide our percent share in income. 

Data sensed by sensors will proceed to the hardware module (Arduino/Raspberry Pi) which will interfaced with web server through internet of thing( IOTs ) to access website

Benefits of the Project

By implementing this project the ticketing will be abolished.

The traffic congestion will be avoided.

The emission of CO2 will be less. 

The user or customer go to direct parking slot by subscribing through website or by using the App.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Data sensed by sensors will proceed to the hardware module (Arduino/Raspberry Pi) which will interfaced with web server through internet of thing( IOTs ) to access website

Testing and analysis of sensors:

In order to get the best suitable sensor we tested several sensors and analyzed their performance.

1. Performance of IR(InfraRed) sensor:

We used TCRT5000 sensor module, a reflective sensors which include an IR Emitter and Photo Transistor packaged together.

Theoretical range:

The range of this model  sensor is 950 mm (0.95 m or 95 cm)

Practical results:

when we checked its range  was about 0.1 to 0.8m.

1. Performance of IR(sharp) sensor:

We used SHARP  IR GP2Y0A21YK0F module , composed of  PSD (position sensitive So this sensor can also be used as a proximity sensor the result we got are:

Practical results:

•   when we checked its range  was about 9-70cm (0.09-0.7m or 90-700mm )

Drawbacks of IR sensors:

• Values fluctuated at larger scales.
• Shortest range
• False detection of object due to IR sources (vehicles)

1. Performance of ultrasonic sensor:

We used Ultrasonic sensors HC SR04 that measures distance by using ultrasonic waves.

Practical Analyses of ultrasonic sensors:

• Practically HC RS04 module has 350 cm range.
• When the sensor was kept at height i-e above the tyre level we observed  200cm range detection because not all signals were reflected back.
• We then  kept the ultrasonic sensor at lower height i-e below tyre level and observed range of vehicle detection upgraded to  approximately 300cm.
•  So we decided to keep the sensor module at height approximately equal to bonnet of vehicle.

1. 1. 1. Communication modules:

Nordic NRF24L01+ Module:

Nordic radio modules are a very flexible solution for near-field wireless data transmission.                    They are low power and high-frequency which  limits their range to near-field applications.

Practical analysis:

In Pakistan, the available modules were not working properly. We bought almost 10 NRF modules in 2 phases but all of them were faulty. And were not even connecting to the

 controller.

1.2.4 HC05 Bluetooth module:

HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup.

Practical analysis:we used hc05 Bluetooth module for Wireless Communication between 2 Arduinos and it worked well. Hence after analysis we finalized it.

Something about app but make sure total word of technical detail will must be less than 2500 words and secondly write about the feature u provide it into app up till now.
