The The Development of a Parking Control System Using IoT Technology Prototype of a parking control system using IoT technology

Abstract

The main problem that this project seeks to address is the inconvenience of manually searching for a parking spot and the lack of a real-time notification system for available parking spaces. This is a result of the continually increasing number of car drivers. Furthermore, drivers themselves wish to reduce the time spent searching for parking and decrease the fuel consumption wasted while circling to find a spot, as well as mitigate potential accidents resulting from congested traffic. Therefore, IoT technology was applied to enhance the efficiency of the parking lot control management system. The results are displayed via a parking lot simulation model featuring a small LCD screen that shows the available parking spaces in real-time for drivers. Additionally, data on the number of cars entering and exiting the parking lot is sent to a website so that system administrators are also informed in real-time. The efficiency test results by experts showed that the performance in terms of the Functional test was at a very good level ( = 4.67, S.D. = 0.38), and the performance in terms of the Requirement test was at a good level ( = 4.00, S.D. = 0.48). The system can be applied to further improve the efficiency of parking management.
