Parking management and control system

Abstract

This paper describes a new solution for parking management and control that can be used along with the actual parking system. The proposed solution uses a Web Service as a data controller, a database for data storage and three client applications targeting a better user experience. Web Service's role is to process data received from clients and works as a link between clients and database. Also, Web Service role is to validate requested data and send a proper response to client according with validation result. Clients splits into Web Client (Web Application), Mobile Client (Android Application) and an Admin Client (Desktop Application). Web and Mobile clients are used by drivers to reserve, pay the parking ticket or to make a subscription. Admin Client is used by an admin to add new cities, new parking in system, edit actual data or just view actual data. All the algorithms and results obtained in this paper are developed and tested using the C# and JavaScript programming languages and SQL query language.
