A Study of Vehicular Parking Systems

Abstract

In today's world, to find a parking space for a vehicle is troublesome and tiring. Various methods can be opted to find an optimal solution for the parking problem. These methods incorporate the use of various types of sensors such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), image sensors, Infrared sensors (IR), ultrasonic sensors etc. A few of these systems also fuse the concept of Internet Of Things (IoT) and cloud database and collaborate with hardware to provide a better interface to the user. They also try to make their applications more user friendly by merging them with visual and vocal instructions and fusing them with an Android-based system. Some systems help the user by locating their parked vehicle and some help by finding the shortest route to their vehicle in a pool of cars. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief idea about the various techniques that have come up to sort these routine problems of parking and flaws which follow.
