Abstract:

As urban migration remains on the increase, many modern vehicle users tend to rely on established navigation system technologies to locate their destinations with ease. However, particularly in large public parking lots, securing convenient parking slots close enough to the driver’s destination of interest is a common challenge. Similarly, many non-expert drivers have issues parking without assistance. The proposed smart system thus tackles these challenges by proffering a parking slot assignment and route navigation system, which uses a novel algorithm to assign vehicles to the closet vacant parking slot to their desired destination and the Dijkstra’s algorithm to identify the best route within the parking lot. Using appropriately placed ultrasonic sensors and color-coded light indicators, unmanned parking assistance was provided. A mobile application was built to serve as the user interface for the drivers to book and receive parking slot assignments. The parking slot assignment validity was tested with a scenario of a shopping complex parking on a busy day, and the smart parking system gave optimal parking slot allocation to users via the mobile application. Subsequently, it was estimated that operating the smart parking system has the potential of saving 1.609Kg of CO emission in a year.
