Camera-Based Parking System Management Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Currently, there are still many use of manual parking systems, namely parking attendants provide instructions for vehicles to park. This is often considered inefficient because there is no data recording of vehicles that park, resulting in a low level of security and comfort for visitors and the parking system does not provide information about parking slots which can make it difficult for visitors to park vehicles. With this, the vehicle that wants to park often has difficulty when parking the vehicle. Through various problems that occur, the author develops a parking system that can provide information on the availability of parking slots in the parking area as well as data storage for vehicle number plates that do parking. In the parking system, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is used as the main controller, camera detection to obtain information in the form of characters from the vehicle number plate with the help of OCR (Optical Character Recognition), the use of OTP (One Time Password) code which can be used only once so as to increase security. on the parking system. Vehicle data in the form of number plates and also OTP code will be stored in the database and used when the vehicle will leave the parking area by matching the number plate data and OTP code of a vehicle to be able to leave the parking area. Through the development of the parking system, it is hoped that it will work well for vehicle drivers to find available parking locations and increase safety and comfort for drivers because of data storage in the form of vehicle number plates as vehicle identity and the use of OTP codes that can only be used once.
