Abstract
Finding a vacant parking space nowadays is time and fuel consuming. This problem may cause drivers to get frustrated and eventually improper parking will appear. The universities, in particular, are one of these places, which needs more attention for providing parking services. Therefore, this study has focused on finding the parking required for such facilities and the benefit of applying smart parking services there. The main campus of the University of Kufa has been evaluated by collecting parking data for both on-street and off-street parking. The results of field data show a clear lack of parking space for most of the faculties in the main campus. The required additional parking spaces are 260.This study has suggested using the smart parks. The model of smart park system has been introduced by this study as a solution to the parking problem, especially in the university and generally in other places. Arduino and ultrasonic sensors were used to detect the empty places in a park and display this status to the screen. The model has been applied at the park of College of Engineering with encouraging results.
Highlights
Finding a suitable park is one of the challenging problems nowadays generally in the urban areas, especially in the universities (Barata et al, 2010)
The lack of spacing is so clear through the evaluation done by this study even a lot of parks in the university are not included in the fundamental site plan of the university
The main points come up with this study could be summarized as following: 1. Generally, there is an obvious lack of parking spaces for whole the university due to illegally parking vehicles in front of the most the faculties and even outside the university
Summary
Finding a suitable park is one of the challenging problems nowadays generally in the urban areas, especially in the universities (Barata et al, 2010). University of Kufa is one of the major trips attracting in AlNajaf (Al-Jameel and Kamel, 2016) This phenomenon shows how much the number of parking space is? It permits cities to carefully manage their parking supply Smart parking helps one of the biggest problems on driving in urban areas; finding empty parking spaces and controlling illegal parking (Young et al, 1991). According to the above paragraph, there are two parts will be discussed : first part is to evaluate the parks in the university and the second part is how to design model for the SPS
