Automated Parking System with Fee Management Using Arduino

Abstract

To this day people are still using manual parking systems which consists of many problems for example, looking for free space in a parking lot without any prior knowledge if the parking lot is full or not, which leads to wastage of time and fuel. Safety of vehicle is also an addressable issue. Keeping these in mind we are proposing an automobile parking system. Through this system, drivers will be able to know if there are vacant parking slots or not, along with the vacant parking slot number(s) prior to entering the parking lot via monitor screen(s) at the entry gate(s). Also only authorized personals shall be given entry access to the parking lots via an RFID tag depending on the availability of parking space. Furthermore, we also introduced a parking fee management system which is also payable using the same RFID tag which acts as a rechargeable parking credit card.
