Specification

Description:A SYSTEM AND APPLICATION OF REAL TIME CAR PARKING SOFTWARE
FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to the Smart Parking Management System (SPMS) that depends on Arduino parts, Android applications, and based on IoT. This gave the client the ability to check available parking spaces and reserve a parking spot. IR sensors are utilized to know if a car park space is allowed. An attractive and effective application was designed for Android mobile phones. The system benefits from avoiding wasting time and reducing pollution and fuel consumption.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[003] In this section, some related works of smart parking are presented. The System was used sensors, technologies, and interfaces to collect and display information in real-time, which required expensive private infrastructure. The smart parking system delivered user information and accessibility of parking slots through the VMS on the internet. It was classified into off-road and on-road. Google map application, ultrasonic sensors, and cloud-stored data were used in Smart parking, the Android application map forward data of the empty place of the user. Each slot had an LED for finding out the parking space and booking. The Infrared sensor in was implemented to find out a free place and open the entry and exit gate. RFID tag issued to approve an individual's entry to the parking place using the mobile application the ACO algorithm was presented in to calculate the shortest path between the user, and the available space by connecting to the cloud.

[004] The System using Arduino and Raspberry PI to detect the free slots by using an internet server, and GPS for booking. The system was proposed which uses Infrared sensors. Verification is accomplished using an RFID tag and ZigBee for communication. The android application in would have customer detail include area, state, car number, the user enters and exit time, and selecting a parking location gets data about the available vacant parking slot, and MYSQL database stored user details. The system was employed a camera to capture the car number plate and convert the image to see whether the car is a certified used car or not. The system used Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) to communicate with the driver sending the parking request providing, the user information status of conforming reservation, and Infrastructure to Vehicle (I2V) communication was employed for reserve parking place application and shows the direction.

[005] For safety purposes, QR code was employed, webcam used to scan the code, and authorized to indicate the car parking zone direction. A Privacy-Preserving Pay-by-Phone parking system was proposed, which book by pay by phone method. Mobile application using credit card payment method is implemented. The new user can register, and the new user contacts the system, server, and gets a new e-coins. Each e-coin having a parking duration time of the slot. Parking officer queries of on-board devices by performing an RFID query. The system delivers parking facilities in real-time and users are ready to book places and make payments before incoming at the car park's lot.

[006] The system in proposed a communication system and a database using the cloud. An ultrasonic sensor in placed on the ground connected via Ethernet. The system used wireless communication to order places of the nearest parking spaces through the GPS. The system transmits the availability of spaces every 2 mins. If all parking spaces are unavailable, no actions are measured; within the opposite case, any user is ready to order a locality within 2 km of their location. A system was presented in calculates the optimal car parking, neighborhood for the user-supported space of trajectory and time. The system did not have the booking service and was subject to the availability of the space at that time.

[007] People usually travel around within the parking regions trying to find an appropriate place to park in, to solve this problem, the automated car parking system has created. Assistive technology is needed, which may provide parking information for registered customers using smartphones and their applications. Users can obtain the service by registering, and in case of booking, the destination and the estimated time of arrival are determined, and the booking details are sent to the user.
[008] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as outlined in the remainder of the present application and concerning the drawings.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0010] The present invention relates to the Smart Parking Management System (SPMS) that depends on Arduino parts, Android applications, and based on IoT. This gave the client the ability to check available parking spaces and reserve a parking spot. IR sensors are utilized to know if a car park space is allowed. An attractive and effective application was designed for Android mobile phones. The system benefits from avoiding wasting time and reducing pollution and fuel consumption.

[0011] The smart car parking system is an integrated system to recognize the nearest available parking zone. So, the main purpose of the system is to provide a solution to the parking problem, to reduce the time to search for parking lots, and to eliminate unnecessary travel for vehicles

[0012] Smart parking suggests an IoT-based system that sends data to free and busy parking places via net/mobile applications. The IoT-network includes sensors and microcontrollers, which are found in each parking place. We implemented an enclosed smart parking project (SPMS), that using the Internet of Things and IR sensors, where available parking places can be displayed in a web application, then the user receives a live update about the availability of all parking places and chooses the best one.

[0013] Finding a place to park cars involves three-stage. First, the parking area which has Arduino devices along with the sensors to interact between the user and the parking area. The second stage contains the cloud services which act as an intermediary between the user and the parking area. The third stage is the user side. The user gets a notification of the availability via mobile applications. For each parking region, Arduino sensors are positioned, and the sensors detect the number of parking slots, the number of free, and booked slots. WIFI module is used for communication between the mobile app and sensors.

[0014] One of the most important problems facing large cities is congestion and parking. So, using Automated Parking System Management is an efficient technique using the Internet of Things to manage the garage. Smart parking is an electronic tool that enables the user to find vacant parking spaces through information technology and by using appropriate sensors. Among the most used types in smart parking, systems are data routing systems, smart payment systems, and electronic car parks. These types require disclosure of whether parking spaces are vacant or not. With the user registration in the system, a unique identifier is created for him, and with the booking, it has the booking details, and via their smartphones, the entire time, exit time, and money are calculated. The System building consists of, the lowest level, including the functions of sensing, data transmission is created during a middle level, and upper-level deals with the storage and processing information, and user interfaces
[0015] The services provided by smart parking have become the essence of building smart cities. This paper focused on implementing an integrated solution for smart parking. The proposed system has several advantages, including detecting parking spaces using the Internet of Things and calculating the time of entry and exit and calculating the expected cost. An attractive and effective application was designed for Android mobile phones. The system benefits from avoiding wasting time and reducing pollution and fuel consumption. Users can book a car park for 24 hours.

[0016] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as outlined in the remainder of the present application and concerning the drawings.
