Implementation of cost-effective rfid based smart parking management system with enabled gsm feature

Abstract

The existing parking management systems require man power to supervise the operations and it also requires manual recording of data in excel sheets and on paper. For huge parking, scenario is very hectic to keep track of and the human error also comes into the picture. Because of all these issues, automation of the parking management system is required. Nowadays, the modern world requires smart cities and the smart cities require automation techniques in its various aspects. The use of Radio Frequency Identification known as RFID technology reduces human efforts as well as errors. That’s why the RFID based smart parking management system has been proposed to solve the issues related to parking management. The proposed system in this paper consists of different technologies as well as some new enhancements which are namely, the use of GSM module, hour based money deduction, providing driver the choice of his preferred parking slot at the entry and sending the SMS of driver’s chosen parking location to driver’s registered mobile number which would be helpful if at the time of leaving, the driver forgets where the car was parked. This makes the existing systems more trenchant, user-friendly and at the same time, the proposed system also manages to be pretty thrifty. The approach in this paper realizes intelligent yet cost-effective management of parking lot and the paper also tries to realize the Smart cities mission of the Government of the republic of India.
