Introduction:  Parking areas that are gathering places for tank trucks are potentially dangerous places. This study analyzes accident consequences of oil products carriers, to check and compare the hazard radius with recommended separation distances. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was carried out in 5 stages, including: scenario selection, determination of the accidents source para...

Nowadays positioning based navigation is an integrated part of our everyday’s routine. Hence, it is hard to succeed without a GPS based navigation system in a bigger city today. However, indoor positioning and navigation are still in their infancy, although these services would be desirable in many areas. One obvious application domain is vehicle navigation in a parking garage. The use of an in...

Many people have the experience of getting lost in large parking lots when trying to find their parked cars. To solve this problem, an augmented reality (AR)-based automatic guidance system is proposed to help a user to find his/her parked car quickly. With multiple fisheye cameras affixed to the ceiling of the parking lot for image acquisition, the proposed system includes four major functions...

Transportation is an essential need for many people to go to their work, school, and home. In particular, the main common method inside many cities is to drive the car. Driving a car can be an easy job to reach the destination and load all stuff in a reasonable time. However, deciding to find a parking lot for a car can take a long time using the traditional system that can issue a paper ticket...

This paper proposes a technique for the awareness of free parking zone with Sensors. In order to resolve the issues that the drivers can’t notice the best parking zone timely, a reservation primarily based best parking zone is intended. It detects parking slots by individual Sensors mounted to the slots. Parking slot occupancy is probabilistically calculated by treating every parking slot regio...

The ever-increasing number of electric vehicles (EV) on the road promotes the idea of sustainable transportation by reducing CO2 emissions. This inherently means there is a growing need for charging stations as well. A potential solution to address the need for charging stations is to transform traditional parking lots into smart parking lots, in a sense that smart parking lots provide not only...

An effective technique for detecting and tracking moving vehicles in a typical parking lot is implemented. The technique involves adaptive realtime background subtraction and shadow removal followed by a set of morphological operations in order to enhance the foreground mask. The mask is then used to draw a distinct bounding box over the moving vehicles in the original video sequence. The outpu...
