Potential problems could arise when drivers leave their parking stalls and merge into the main traffic stream. These problems could partly be attributed to finding acceptable gaps to merge into with safety and without causing undue difficulties to following vehicles. Observations from a variety of sites show different distributions of gap acceptance depending mainly upon the design and layout o...

Parking in crowded urban areas is a precious resource that impacts driver stress levels, daily productivity, and the environment. A reservation system that enables individuals to buy parking spots prior to leaving their home would significantly ease these concerns. However, designing an infrastructure for guaranteed parking requires extensive sensor deployment and manpower, which is expensive a...

Information technology embeds microchips and sensors within vehicles, traffic lights, roads and makes transportation system to communicate using wireless technologies. Intelligent transport system embodies several functionalities such as traffic monitoring, parking assistant, and vehicle monitoring by making the system smarter. Parking plays a vital role amongst them. Developing countries are f...

Autonomous cars can offer numerous services to its users, one is fully autonomous parking. There are different challenges involved in autonomous parking on parking spaces such as efficient path planning under constraints or limited sensing of today’s cars. In this paper, we present a path planning approach for automated car parking in unstructured environments. Our system is able to find paths ...

The proliferation and affordability of smart sensors such as webcams, microphones etc., has created opportunities for exciting new classes of distributed services. A key stumbling block to mining these rich information sources is the lack of a common, scalable networked infrastructure for collecting, filtering, and combining the video feeds, extracting the useful information, and enabling distr...

This paper is to develop a Reservation based vehicle parking reservation system to overcome the problem of unnecessary time consumption in finding parking spot in commercial parking areas. In this proposed system, we reserve the parking slot in shopping malls, theatres and offices by using short message service (SMS). User reserves the slot by sending a message to GSM modem placed at the parkin...

This project is an attempt to automate major processes of manual Car Parking System including availability checking of a car through sensor signal output. An automated car parking system known as “Smart Car Park” is currently not available in Sri Lanka. Administers, users and government authorities face many difficulties due to lack of proper car parking system. A need analysis was conducted to...

neighborhoods within the hierarchy of urban structure are one of the smallest socio-physical building blocks of cities. traditional neighborhoods of iranian historic cities benefited from strong social relations which were flourished over the years and were manifested in the neighborhoods centers. in the modern era, the new master plans and the complementary local plans have disintegrated these...

Project is designed with Microcontroller, LCD Display, Relays, Gate model, GSM Module, RFID Reader, IR sensors. The Microcontroller programmed to interface the RFID reader with the microcontroller to scan the RFID tag to read the amount. It uses IR sensor to identify the availability of free space in the parking area. Parking space are secured by gate system. So the gate is opened only for the ...

This paper considers the perpendicular reverse parking problem of front wheel steering vehicles. Relationships between the widths of the parking aisle and the parking place, as well as the parameters and initial position of the vehicle for planning a collision-free reverse perpendicular parking in one maneuver are first presented. Two types of steering controllers (bang-bang and saturated tanh-...
