This project has been implemented to reduce the excess use of land space which is already very scarce in metro cities. Different types of vehicle parking are applied worldwide namely Multi-level Automated Car Parking, Automated Car Parking System, and Rotary Parking System. The present project work is aimed to develop a scale down working model of a car parking system for parking cars within a ...

In this paper, we focus on multilevel parking facilities and propose a navigation system that minimizes the time required for cars to find vacant parking spaces. Parking zones at large parking facilities provide drivers conditions to drivers due to differences in distances from the entrance of the parking facility or to the entrances of the shopping areas. This leads to many cars concentrating ...

With the increase in vehicle production and world population, more and more parking spaces and facilities are required. In this paper a new parking system called Smart Parking System (SPS) is proposed to assist drivers to find vacant spaces in a car park in a shorter time. The new system uses ultrasonic (ultrasound) sensors to detect either car park occupancy or improper parking actions. Differ...

This paper introduces an intelligent parking slot detection and tracking with ARM7LPC2148 microcontroller. The parking problem in big cities, especially the mega-cities, has become one of the key causes of the city traffic congestion. The Vacant Parking slot detection and tracking is considered to be an effective way to improve parking situation. The parking slot occupancy classification stage ...

Nowadays, in big cities, parking management is a critical issue from both the driver's side and the city government's side. From the driver's side, how to find an available parking lot in a city is a considerable concern. As a result, smart parking systems recently have received great interest, both in academia and industry. From the city government's side, how to manage and distribute such a l...

As the number of automobiles increases, the task of providing parking lots to accommodate more vehicles becomes very difficult and challenging. The design of parking lots needs more attention in order to have efficient and safe design. The capacity of a parking lot depends on many factors such as the parking angle. Choosing the most efficient parking angle is not an easy task since it varies wi...

In congested urban areas, it remains a pressing challenge to reduce unnecessary vehicle circling for parking while at the same time maximize parking space utilization. In observance of new information technologies that have become readily accessible to drivers and parking agencies, we develop a dynamic non-cooperative bi-level model (i.e. Stackelberg leader-follower game) to set parking prices ...

Finding a parking spot in a busy indoor parking lot is a daunting task. Retracing a parked vehicle can be equally frustrating. We present BluePark, a collaborative sensing mechanism using smartphone sensors to solve these problems in real-time, without any input from user. We propose a novel technique of combining accelerometer and WiFi data to detect and localize parking and un-parking events ...

Taking time-varying parking demands and supplies into account, this paper develops a dynamic parking choice model to simulate drivers’ searching for parking spaces between parking lots. In this study, each parking lot has one access passage and vehicles can move or wait for entering the park in the access passage. The flow propagation formula in the access passage of parking lots is established...
