This is a project for smart city that enable people look up parking spaces in malls, school and other places and book, when the user reaches the mall, the parking space highlighted for the user to know where to park, other features include traffic for incoming and outgoing vehicles. The project is design to aid people in parking malls and booking of parking spaces.
In an automated parking complex, drivers need only park at an entry pallet or port. Images of the car are captured and transmitted to a controller where dimensions of the car are read and the license plate recorded. Meanwhile, the driver pays by card and the system provides authorization, possibly via voice recognition. Once sensors have verified the entry pallet or cabin is empty of occupants, the process of automatic moving and parking will be initiated. The car will be moved by an elevator or a carousel system up to the storage floors and parked into an appropriate space with security guarantee. To command and coordinate all the controllers and subsystems, automated parking systems require precise control, robust and reliable networking, and secured system maintenance.
Using an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway to connect with the PLC, allows the parking system to be monitored and controlled from a remote control center in real time, providing considerable benefits to the management and efficiency of the parking systems. The IoT gateway links the PLC with the PC-based monitoring control system, allowing PLC data to be read and basic repair and maintenance tasks executed by way of a handheld panel or other mobile device linked to the network via 3G/WiFi or other Ethernet connection.
As IoT gateways continually upload the PLC data to local servers and the cloud, operating status from multiple towers can be remotely monitored in real time, alerting admin to problems which can be alleviated in a timely manner. Risk of system failure and the requirements of onsite maintenance are thus minimized, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
This parking system enables drivers to locate nearby parking vacancies through a GPS/web-based mobile device accessing cloud information.
