ABSTRACT

Now days, the increasing of cars usage is growing rapidly, and also the system of the

parking lots must be upgrade to be more systematic and efficient to the users. This

project present a simple model of parking congestion which focuses on parking lot

search for a vacant parking space in a parking lots, and this project can be used to

identify both quantity and location of available area in a car park. The problem

statement in this project is difficult for user to find parking with so many vehicles

around and it consume a lot of their current condition with the use of many vehicles

which wasting a lot of their time. Besides, manual parking system is not systematic

because user do not know where the exact the empty parking spaces are. In addition,

not all the parking system display how many parking spaces available. Objective of

this project is to design a systematic “Smart Entry Parking System” which have

connection between devices (to display available parking lot) and system centre (user

to choose the parking lot), to develop the “Smart Entry parking” in order to solve the

problem of finding available parking space and to test and evaluate the effectiveness

of “Smart Entry Parking System” by applying Schedule algorithm. The scope in this

project is User can check the availability of parking space and can make choice

parking spot based on Web-based system. Connection between Web-based system and

Arduino is to inform the availability of parking lot by display it in websites. The

outcomes of the system will be a systematic and efficient system that can give a lots of

benefit to user.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

In this century of modernity, there are many types of vehicles that are

produced and used by people especially in urban area. The increasing of vehicles can

cause much negative impact on the environment especially the increasing demand on

parking infrastructure accessible to the general public. For an example is, find the

vacant parking in shopping mall or hospital compound.

In basic parking lot system is only used automatic gate and parking ticket but

the availability of parking lot is not shown to user and they need to find it by

themselves to park their cars. In this case, it takes times to user to find the parking

spot and vacant parking lot. Besides, they did not know it is full or still available in

parking areas.

The system of parking lots must be upgrade to more systematic, efficient and

reliable to the users. To resolve the above issues and at the same time satisfy demand

for parking spots and better services, parking management organization are striving to

implement solutions that work towards a more streamlined parking experience.

2

Recent technological advances are bringing forward major changes in the

traditional parking model. In this project using Arduino, it is an open sources platform

used for building electronic projects. Arduino consists of both a physical

programmable circuit board and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development

Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and implement it in physical

board.

“Smart Entry Parking System” is designed in robotic system to manage

parking lot to the user. The proposed SEPS can give benefit to the user is regarding

the location of parking lot and available space.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

In real situation, there are a lots of problem that occur when talk about parking

lot especially in shopping complex or hospital compound. It is difficult for user to

find parking with so many vehicles around and it consume a lot of their current

condition with the use of many vehicles which wasting a lot of their time. Besides,

manual parking system is not systematic because user do not know where the exact

the empty parking spaces are. In addition, not all the parking system display how

many parking spaces available.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The main objective of this project is to implement Smart Entry Parking by

using Devices Based System. Reviewing on some article and journal about parking

system can be used in this project and can be apply in existing system.

Based on research, there is some of technology that is implemented in parking

lot system in different ways.

2.2 INTELLIGENT PARKING SPACE DETECTION SYSTEM BASED ON

IMAGE PROCESSING.

Figure 2.1: Step for Detecting the Space

In this system, system module contains of five step for detecting the space of

parking. The step are system initialization, image acquisition, image segmentation,

image enhancement, image detection.

7

i) System Initialization.

Figure 2.2: Rounded Brown Image

The module runs only for the first time when this system is started. A one-time

manual drawing procedure is performed where a rounded brown image drawn at each

park (with zero car present in the car park area), as in Figure 2.2 rounded brown image

is drawn on each parking lot manually. The purpose of this procedure is to

automatically identify location of every parking lot in the image. It should be noted

that the lines separating the parking lots have to be visible, clear and unobstructed in

the initialization process. The camera is assumed to be in a fixed position and facing a

fixed direction all the time. The initialization process will begin with the program

searching for the rounded brown image by detecting the shape of the image. Detected

image are then analysis to determined available parking lot.

8

ii) Image Acquisition

Figure 2.3: Image Acquisition Module

After system initialization, the image will be processed in image acquisition

module. This module involves capturing and storing digital images from the video

cameras. The high definition camera used to acquire digital images is then connected

to a processing unit. The software is running in real-time. The camera is positioned in

side view of parking lots, acquiring a fixed scene all the time. The height of the

camera must be enough to obtain a clear, unobstructed top view of the parking lots.

Figure 3 shows the image captured by the camera. Five rounded brown image are

shown which mean that there are five available Parking lot.

9

iii) Image Segmentation

Figure 2.4: RGB Image Acquired

RGB Image acquired from the camera is then converted to grey scale image

and create the binary images in image segmentation module. From the grey scale

image resulted, thresholding technique can be used to create the binary image. The

binary images contain all of the essential information about the position and shape of

the objects of interest (foreground).

10

iv) Image Enhancement.

Figure 2.5: RGB Image Acquired

After converting images into binary, the image has to remove the noise and

trace the boundary of detected object. This process is done in image enhancement

module. Images, taken by digital camera, will pick up the noise from variety of

sources.

v) Image Detection Module.

Figure 2.6: RGB Image Acquired

When tracing the boundaries of object in images, the image detection module

is implemented. This module will determine which objects are round by estimate each

object's area and perimeter.

11

vi) Result of Parking Lot.

Figure 2.7: Parking Lot Result

An intelligent parking lot detection system based on image processing have

been tested and proposed. This results are included the sequences of the car park

detection from empty lot (8 parking available) until the full parking lot. Figure 7

shows the number of availability of parking lot resulted by using camera preview

panel, GUI output display, and LCD output display.

2.3 AUTOMATIC SMART CAR PARKING SYSTEM.

In an automated car parking, the cars are left at the entrance and are further

transported inside the building with mechanical structure. Similarly, they are retrieved

by mechanical structure and placed at the exit for the owner to drive away. Our

proposed system presents an Autonomous car parking that regulates the number of

cars that can be parked in a given space at any given time based on the parking space

availability. When a car arrives at the entrance, it will be stopped at the main gate and

the driver de-boards the car. If the availability of Parking space is confirmed, the user

12

commands the car to get parked to the designated slot. The car traces its path to the

entrance of the parking area. Here, it waits and the details required for parking of car

at the proper slot are communicated to the Car Control Unit. On receiving the

information, the car will further trace its path to free parking spot. On successful

parking, the data on the LCD will be updated automatically.

i) Hardware Description.

The hardware component required microcontroller, LCD, LDR, relay, DC motor,

voltage regulator.

a) Microcontroller

The Microcontroller AT89S52 is a low-power, high performance CMOS 8- bit

microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system programmable flash memory and

data memory is 256 bytes RAM this chip is manufactured using Atmel’s high-

density non-volatile memory technology and it is compatible with the industry-

standard 80S52 instruction set and pin out. The on-chip flash memory allows

the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional non-

volatile memory programmer.

b) Relay

It is used for auto switching device.

c) RFID Tag/Reader:

RFID Identification. An RFID system consists of two parts .i.e., a reader, and

one or more transponders, which are also known as tags. RFID systems have

13

evolved from barcode labels as a means to automatically identify and track

products as well as people. In this system, the user is assigned a unique ID

corresponding to the specific trolley. This helps in quick identification and

movement of the same.

ii) Software Description

Proteus 8 is the best simulation software for various design with micro controller.it

is mainly popular because of availability of almost all microcontroller in it. So it is a

handy tool to test programmes and embedded designs for electronic people.

Simulation can be done using protest 8 software.

2.4 STREET PARKING SYSTEM

Figure 2.8: Illustrate of parking lot.

i) System Introduction.

The proposed SPS consists of a base station, routers, sensor nodes, and a

remote server. The diagram of SPS is shown in Figure 1. Sensor nodes are

deployed alongside the roadside and each node is mounted on the centre floor

14

of a parking space. Each sensor node detects the earth’s magnetic field

periodically. When a node detected a car entering or leaving, it transmits a

message to the router. The router forwards the packet to a base station that is

one or more hops away. In the base station, information from different nodes

will be merged, and parking guidance information will be transmitted to LED

board and remote server.

Figure 2.9(a) Figure 2.9(b)

ii) Hardware Design.

We adopt ZigBee as the wireless communication stack. Sensor node consists

of magnetic sensor. When deploying the sensor nodes in the complicated

realistic environment, we faced several problems. One is the crush-resistant

issue. Using high-strength PVC-steel material as node shell is a good choice

for resisting the crush of the parking vehicles. Figure 9(a) shows the nodes

with high-strength PVC-steel material. As shown in Figure 9(b), considering

the power issue, routers are equipped with solar panel for frequent data

forwarding.

15

Figure 2.10 : Location Field Setup

iii) Test Field Setup.

In the experiments, we place the sensor node in the middle of the parking

space. The sensor is a 3- axis magnetic sensor. Figure 10 describes the

deployment of sensor nodes: the 𝑍-axis is vertical, the 𝑌-axis is parallel with

the direction of vehicle entering, and the 𝑋-axis is pointing to adjacent space.

The sensor has temperature drift, and the method of temperature compensation

refers to its datasheet.

2.5 SUMMARY OF THE JOURNAL

2.5.1 Intelligent Parking Space Detection System Based on Image Processing.

In this system it is consists of five modules which are system initialization,

image acquisition, image segmentation, image detection and image enhancement. In

system initialization, its identify location of every parking lot in the image. Second,

storing digital image taken from video camera. Third, separate the objects from the

background. Fourth, remove noise from the image. Lastly, determine the rounded

brown image drawn at each the parking lot.

16

2.5.2 Street Parking System

Street parking System consists of a base station, routers, sensor nodes, and a

remote server. The sensor nodes is placed on each of parking space. Each nodes detect

magnetic field. When a node detected a car movement (entering or leaving), it

transmits a message to the router. LED board will change when the information is

successfully achieved.

2.5.3 Automatic Smart Car Parking System.

This system is using building with mechanical structure which is automatically

parking the car that left at the entrance. When a car arrives at the entrance, it will

stopped at the main gate and the driver de-boards the car. This system need to

confirmation on availability of parking space. If there is more space, the car will park

to free parking spot. The data on the LCD will be updated automatically.

Based on the research, the Scheduler algorithm is the best choices that can be apply in

“Smart Entry Parking”. This is because concept of scheduling algorithm is First Come

First Serve, or known as (FCFS). Related to the SEPS is when cars enter in parking

entrance, the number of available parking will decrease. While, when exit it will

increase back.

17

2.6 SUMMARY

This chapter provide an overview regarding the concept of the system. Based

on the study that has been made it shows that literature review is one of the important

part in research of study of new. Literature review will help in determining the idea

and technology has been studied before or not. The technique is chosen based on

previous research articles and journals. Every journal and article will be compared to

decide which will be selected.

CHAPTER 4

SYSTEM DESIGN AND MODELLING

4.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter will review design phase in project development. Design is the

process of resulting product and it proposed framework of thinking. It represent a

model on how to achieve a specific goal in project. Whereas, model represent set of

strategy on which to achieved design goals. Modelling process involved a graphical

representation of the functions and process for the development of a system before the

system was developed. In this project, framework design, context diagram (CD), data

flow diagram (DFD), entity relationship diagram (ERD), database design and interface

design were produced before the system was developed so that the system will be

developed successfully.

27

4.2 SYSTEM DESIGN AND MODELLING

Figure 4.1: Framework for Smart Entry Parking System.

4.2.1 System Design

System design is the process of defining the architecture, components,

modules, interfaces and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. System

design involves Context Diagram, data Flow Diagram and Entity Relation Diagram.

4.2.2 Context Diagram

A context diagram is a data flow diagram, with only one massive central

process that subsumes everything inside the scope of the system. It shows how the

system will receive and send data flows to the external entities involved. Such as

system, organizational groups, external data stores. Since a context diagram is a

specialized version of the Data Flow Diagram, understanding a bit Data Flow

Diagram can be helpful.

28

Figure 4.2: Context Diagram of Smart Entry Parking System

4.2.3 Data Flow Diagram

CHAPTER 6

CONCLUSION

6.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter discuss on the conclusion. The conclusion of system is discussing

about the conclusion of the system for users that use the system.

6.2 PROJECT CONSTRAINT

There are several problem and limitations that occurred throughout the

development of the project in order to achieve the objectives. These problems and

limitations in conducting this study are:

This system is can be used only for car. It is not suitable for others vehicles.

Besides, this system only can be applied for Ground and Rooftop Parking only. This is

because, this system need a network connection in Arduino to check the availability of

parking space. Disturbance of internet to book the parking lot is one of the constraint

in this system and can cause of malfunction on Ultrasonic Sensor.

55

6.3 EXPECTED RESULT

Combination between Arduino and web-based system is to make a connection

between it. With this combination the web-based system will be more systematic and

efficient. Web-based system is used for user to make a booking. All process in the

web-based will keep in database server. Interface in the website show the availability

of parking lot. There are three type of colour which are green (available), yellow

(reserve) and red (not available).Easy for user to make a booking. Then, function of

Arduino is to check the parking space and it will update the data in the database server

and it always loop the process.

6.4 CONCLUSION

The increasing of cars usage is growing rapidly, and also the system of the

parking lots must upgrade to be more systematic and reliable to the users. The Smart

Entry Parking System is develop to perform the effectiveness of system and minimize

the time and energy of users in order to find the parking space. The system can

identify quantity available of parking and location of available area in a car park. The

system will be an intelligent system which help the user to make a booking.

56

6.5 FUTURE WORKS

For future work, there is a little suggestion that can be made to upgrade the

system to be more efficient and look more interesting. Some suggestion that need to

be:

I. Parking fee can be add in the system features by every hour user park their car.

II. User can search place near by to park their car.

III. Can use in smart phone based on Android and IOS.

IV. Add on for motocycle parking.
