INTRODUCTION

Internet of things was first introduced in

1999 at auto ID centre and first used by Kevin

Aston. As evolving this latest burning technology,

it promises to connect all our surrounding things to

a network and communicating with each other with

less human involvement. Still internet of things is

in beginning stage and there is no common

architecture exists till today. There is lot of

researches and implementations are currently being

going on in all the respective areas. Thus there are

no guidelines or boundaries exist to define the

definition of internet of things. So depending on the

context, application the internet of things has

different definitions [1].

The basic definition of an Internet of

Things(IOT) can be defined as anything which

could be connected to internet results into “Internet

of Things” The things in Internet of Things are

sensors, actuators, RFID tags. The things could be

tracked, controlled or monitored using remote

computers connected through Internet. IOT extends

the use of the Internet, providing the

communication ,and thus inter-network of the

devices and physical objects ,or „Things‟ IOT , in

general consist so fainter - network of the devices

and physical objects, number of objects can gather

the data at remote locations and communicate to

units managing, acquiring, organizing and

analysing the data in the processes and services. It

provides a vision where things (wearable, watch,

alarm clock, home devices, surrounding objects

with) become smart and behave alive through sense

computing and communicating with embedded

small devices which interact with remote objects or

persons through connectivity. Due to high

scalability in the cloud any number of nodes could

be added or removed from the IOT system on a real

time basis and IOT is well known to reduce human

effort storage at extent.

As the population increased in metropolitan cities

the usage of vehicles got increased it causes

problem for parking. We face the tough task of

parking our vehicle during busiest hours of the day

especially in various public places like shopping

malls, multiplex, cinema halls and hotels.

In the recent research found that a driver

takes that nearly 8 minutes to park his vehicle

because he spend more time in searching the

parking lot. This leads to 30% to 50% traffic

congestion [2]. Our system is how to reduce the

parking problem and do the secured parking using

Raspberry pi and RFID.IR sensors are placed at

each and every parking lot to detect the empty

parking lot and sends this data to the server, this

stored data is accessed by users. These helps the

user to check the availability of parking lots by

sitting at the home and also book the lot. Here the

challenge is to use the existing resources in optimal

level to reduce the searching time for the free lots

in the parking area. In this we are also providing

security to the user vehicle within the parking

premises.

RELATED WORK

The automatic parking system is designed by

making use of some IOT hardware such as

Raspberry pi, auridino boards etc. We are also

Abstract: With the exponential increase in the number of vehicles and world population day by day, vehicle availability and usage on the road in

recent years, finding a space for parking the vehicle is becoming more and more difficult with resulting in the number of conflicts such

as traffic problems. This is about creating a reliable system that takes over the task of identifying free lots in a parking area and keeping

the record of vehicles parked very systematic manner. This project lessens human effort at the parking area to a great extent such as in

case of searching of free lots by the driver and providing security to the vehicle within the parking premises by generating alert

messages. The various steps involved in this operation are vehicle identification using RFID tags, free slot detection using IR sensors

and getting a message containing directions to the slot and payment calculation is done on the basis of period of parking and this is

done with the help of real time clock. While we are leaving the slot we will get a message for identifying whether you are a authorised

person or not.

using RFID tags in every vehicle so that we can

uniquely identify it. RFID tag is an electronic tag

that exchanges a data with the RFID reader. Here

we are using passive tag of RFID. We focus

power consumption and more performance device.

So raspberry-pi is the suitable micro controller for

our implementation[3].

EXISTING SYSTEM

Now a days we can see some parking areas we

don’t know or we are confused where we are

parked our car and also we don’t know is the

parking area has any free place to park our car and

more even the guide also don’t know these details.

The people park their vehicles where ever they

want not in a prospered manner.

Disadvantages:

� Lot of human effort is involved to

maintain the proper parking system

� People park their vehicles randomly

� Errors also may occur in this process

� So there is more issue in accident and all

IMPLEMENTATION

The user has to first register himself through the

website which indeed stores his information onto

the server. This data is useful to track the user later

if he tries to breach the system policies. After

registering into the parking system his user has the

privilege to go into the application and checkout for

a free parking space available and then he can

actually go and park his vehicle there. The

application is updated each time when the vehicle

application is updated each time when the vehicle

is detected on the parking area with

sensors. IR sensors are responsible to detect if a

particular slot contains vehicle or not. Vehicle

identification is done with the help of RFID tag

which are present on each vehicle which in

helps us in calculating the amount to be pai

each user separately. RFID readers are present on

the parking area which captures the RFID

information of each user. Before generating the

parking bill, IR sensors and RFID tags work

together to know which vehicle is being parked and

depending on the time and the amount the

corresponding bill is generated. Raspberry PI3 is a

processor which performs all of the above

functions through the use of Internet

Advantages:

� Our system minimizes the parking waitin

time in a large- sized parking facility.

� It would also help reduce the need for

man-power in the parking facility which

would greatly reduce the cost and errors in

the process.

� Also this method would minimize the

usage of paper ensuring a green system.

IR sensor: An infrared sensor is an electronic

device which is used to sense light wavelength of

its surroundings by either emitting or detecting

infrared spectrum. It will also capable of measuring

the heat being emitted by an object and detecting

motion. LED will be glow with respect to the IR

sensor detection. Green LED will be glow if no

object is detected and Red LED will be glow if

object is detected.

of RFID. While RFID’s original uses were primarily

for inventory tracking in retail environment, this

technology has quickly created a presence in an

extremely diverse number of fields including easy

gas payment, credit card replacement. RFID tag has

chip, memory and an antenna[5].

CONCLUSION

Our system minimizes the parking waiting

time in a large- sized parking facility. It also helps

in maximizing there venue generation for the

parking facility owners. It would also help reduce

the need for man-power in the parking facility

which would greatly reduce the cost and errors in

the process. Also this method would minimize the

usageof paper ensuring a green system. This work

can be further extended to booking of parkings lots

over a period of time from advance. The mobile

application can be extended up on other operating

systems such as iOS, Windows ,etc. In the server ,

services can even be extended to the safety

measures such as fire, theft, etc.
