Parking space is becoming a serious problem due to increasing number of vehicles along with the mismanagement of available parking space. Particularly, in places where sports or artistic events are scheduled, searching for parking space is a major problem. In order to combat this problem, Smart Parking Platform is implemented using sensors to detect when a car enters or leaves a parking lot in order to track capacity and alert drivers about availability of parking space. Inefficient management of parking system effects traffic flow and also leads to wastage of time and fuel. Smart Parking Platform smoothens the parking experience and achieves convenience for users by displaying the status of the parking slots in web browser and guiding drivers towards empty parking slot. In this paper, each parking slot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor which is interfaced to Arduino UNO microcontroller. Arduino UNO sends the trigger pulse to the ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensors senses whether the parking slot is empty or occupied and sends the data from echo pin to Arduino UNO, which is programmed in such a way that it processes the data and communicates to Node MCU. The status of the parking spaces is updated in the webpage regularly. The user can access the information regarding parking slots by connecting to the provided network. If a parking slot is empty, it is represented by green block. If it is filled, it is represented by red block. This project aims towards reducing traffic congestion and time while searching for parking space. It can be applicable in places such as convention centers, shopping malls, airports, bus stations, stadiums and theatres.

Nowadays, smart parking guidance system is a crucial research for people’s convenience where the integrating concept of IoT that include hardware and software with the connection of internet for image or video processing technology is a powerful application which made up a complete smart parking system. The main objective of this research is to develop and analyze on a smart parking guidance system where current available system was compared to this new proposed system. Limited parking space has become serious issue since the number of Malaysia’s populations are using car keep increasing. Some of the big companies, shopping malls and other public facilities already deployed a smart parking system on their building. However, there are still a lot of buildings that do not own it because the system required a lot of investment, where the huge parking areas need higher cost to install sensors on each parking lot available and cameras are costly and lower in reliability. The proposed smart parking guidance system in this research was depending on a 360° camera that was modified on Raspberry Pi camera module and 360o lens that process with De-Warping techniques for the normal view rather than 360-degree view and Haar-Cascade classifier. The image and video processing was done by Open CV and python program to detect the available parking space and cloud firebase was used to update data where users can access the parking space availability by android mobile phone specifically at a closed parking space. A single 360°camera was replaced several sensors and cameras which were implemented on traditional parking guidance system. In the end of the paper, it is proved that prototype based smart parking is the convenient way to find the parking space availability.

Humanity is currently experiencing one of the short periods of transition thanks to novel sensing solutions for smart cities that bring the future to today. Overpopulation of cities demands the development of solid strategic plannings that uses infrastructure, innovation, and technology to adapt to rapid changes. To improve mobility in cities with a larger and larger vehicle fleet, a novel sensing solution that is the cornerstone of a smart parking system, the smart vehicular presence sensor (SPIN-V, in its Spanish abbreviation), is presented. The SPIN-V is composed of a small single-board computer, distance sensor, camera, LED indicator, buzzer, and battery and devoted to obtain the status of a parking space. This smart mobility project involves three main elements, namely the SPIN-V, a mobile application, and a monitoring center, working together to monitor, control, process, and display the parking space information in real-time to the drivers. In addition, the design and implementation of the three elements of the complete architecture are presented.

The importance of vacant parking space detection systems is increasing dramatically as the avoidance of traffic congestion and the time-consuming process of searching an empty parking space is a crucial problem for drivers in urban centers. However, the existing parking space occupancy detection systems are either hardware expensive or not well-generalized for varying images captured from different camera views. As a solution, we take advantage of an affordable visual detection method that is made possible by the fact that camera monitoring is already available in the majority of parking areas. However, the current problem is a challenging vision task because of outdoor lighting variation, perspective distortion, occlusions, different camera viewpoints, and the changes due to the various seasons of the year. To overcome these obstacles, we propose an approach based on Dilated Convolutional Neural Network specifically designed for detecting parking space occupancy in a parking lot, given only an image of a single parking spot as input. To evaluate our method and allow its comparison with previous strategies, we trained and tested it on well-known publicly available datasets, PKLot and CNRPark + EXT. In these datasets, the parking lot images are already labeled, and therefore, we did not need to label them manually. The proposed method shows more reliability than prior works especially when we test it on a completely different subset of images. Considering that in previous studies the performance of the methods was compared with well-known architecture—AlexNet, which shows a highly promising achievement, we also assessed our model in comparison with AlexNet. Our investigations showed that, in comparison with previous approaches, for the task of classifying given parking spaces as vacant or occupied, the proposed approach is more robust, stable, and well-generalized for unseen images captured from completely different camera viewpoints, which has strong indications that it would generalize effectively to other parking lots.

Lately, the idea of brilliant urban communities has increased awesome notoriety. Parking becomes one of the tedious tasks in our day to day life. Many efforts have been done in this field to solve parking based problems like traffic congestion, limited parking space, high parking charges, and the most basic problem is to find nearby parking space. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm that increases the efficiency of the current cloud-based smart parking system and develops a network architecture based on Internet-Of-Things technology. Our proposed system helps users automatically find a free parking space at the least cost based on new performance metrics to calculate the user parking cost by considering the distance from the user to parking area and the total number of free places in each car park. A mobile application is provided that navigate the user to the free parking space based on the efficiency based on distance and cost. This cost will be utilized to offer an answer of finding an accessible parking spot upon a demand by the client and an answer of proposing another car park if the present park is full.

Abstrak: Pasar sangatlah identik dengan pusat keramaian, karena pasar merupakan pusat perdagangan yang terletak di pusat kota yang sering disebut juga dengan kawasan Central Bussiness District (CBD). Karena pasar merupakan pusat keramaian sehingga mengundang banyak masyarakat untuk datang ke kawasan tersebut sehingga menimbulkan kemacetan arus lalu lintas, akibat tidak terkendalinya arus lalu lintas di sekitar pasar. Kemacetan arus lalu lintas salah satunya akibat dari tidak terkendalinya parkir sehingga membuat kondisi parkir di sekitar daerah tersebut menjadi semakin semrawut. Pasar Aceh merupakan salah satu pusat perdagangan terbesar dan yang paling berkembang di kota Banda Aceh. Semakin berkembangnya kawasan Pasar Aceh membuat aktivitas pergerakan masyarakat semakin meningkat, sehingga membuat menurunnya tingkat pelayanan jalan di kawasan tersebut,  yang diakibatkan oleh kendaraan yang berjalan lambat, parkir, pejalan kaki dan pedagang kaki lima. Pasar Aceh memiliki fasilitas ruang parkirnya. Setelah disediakan ruang parkir pada gedung Pasar Aceh (off-street parking) yang baru ini ternyata masih banyak masyarakat yang lebih memilih parkir dibadan jalan (on-street parking), sementara pelataran parkir pada gedung Pasar Aceh belum habis terisi penuh, sehingga masih terjadi kemacetan dan kesemrawutan lalu lintas yang diakibatkan oleh banyaknya pengguna jalan yang menggunakan badan jalan sebagai tempat parkir. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah : (1) mengevaluasi kinerja jalan yang terbebani oleh kendaraan yang melintasi jalan di kawasan Pasar Aceh, (2) mengevaluasi kebutuhan ruang parkir yang optimal untuk melayani para pengunjung Pasar Aceh dan (3) mengidentifikasi permasalahan-permasalahan yang timbul akibat on-street parking berdasarkan persepsi masyarakat. Sehingga diharapkan dapat direncanakan manajemen parkir yang baik untuk masa yang akan datang.Kata kunci : tingkat pelayanan jalan, permasalahan parkir, persepsi masyarakat, manajemen parkirAbstract: The market is very synonymous with the center of the crowd, because the market is a trading center located in the city center which is often referred to as the Central Bussiness District (CBD). Because the market is a center of crowds that invites many people to come to the area, causing traffic congestion, due to uncontrolled traffic flow around the market. One of the traffic jams is due to uncontrolled parking, making parking conditions around the area increasingly chaotic. Aceh Market is one of the largest and most developed trade centers in the city of Banda Aceh. The increasing development of the Aceh Market area has made community movement activities increasingly increasing, which has caused a decline in the level of road services in the area, which is caused by vehicles that run slowly, parked, pedestrians and street vendors. Aceh Market has its parking facilities. Having provided parking space on the new Pasar Aceh (off-street parking) building it turns out that there are still many people who prefer on-street parking, while the parking lot on the Aceh Market building has not been fully filled, so traffic jams still occur and the chaos of traffic caused by many road users who use the road as a parking lot. The objectives of this study are: (1) evaluating road performance burdened by vehicles crossing the road in the Aceh Market area, (2) evaluating optimal parking space requirements to serve Aceh Market visitors and (3) identifying problems arising from -street parking based on people's perception. So it is expected that good parking management can be planned in the future. Keywords: level of road service, parking problems, public perception, parking management
