Smart parking system using Internet of Things

Abstract

The aims were to 1) develop a smart parking system utilizing Internet of Things technology, and 2) investigate the usage of the NodeMCU microcontroller device and the Ultrasonic Module HY-SRF05 Distance sensor to detect cars that park in the area where the automobile was parked. The procedure consisted of three steps: 1) Study and analyze the causes of parking problems with the current parking management system, 2) Study the equipment and technology used in the research, and 3) System design and development so that the system can be displayed through a display screen to save time finding parking and reduce costs due to increased fuel loss or pollution. The sensor has been used to receive the status of the parking place, which was then shown on the screen. The result demonstrates that the intelligent parking system was designed utilizing Internet of Things technology as a system simulation. When the user reverses into a parking place, the designed signaling device provides the information to the program, which updates the parking spaces' state and sends values to the database for processing. The information would then be displayed on the display screen and can also navigate to the parking space in each structure. It may also be utilized to make parking easier in various locations. In addition to universities, intelligent parking system trials employing established Internet of Things technologies have been carried out in retail malls, hotels, schools, and other areas where there is parking. Using the quality assessment form, three professionals considered and evaluated the efficiency of the intelligent parking system. The overall system quality evaluation was deemed to be at a high level. With the highest amount of top three scores in terms of design appropriateness, user safety, and accurate findings. The findings of system user satisfaction investigating revealed that overall satisfaction was high. Usability received the greatest level of satisfaction, followed by speed of use, safety in operation, accuracy in operation, and system design.
