Availability of parking within a short period of time is a critical problem. Drivers are wasting a lot of time circling around on campus multiple times to try to find a vacant spot to park especially during the peak hours. In turn, this problem is causing another one – that of wasting a lot of fuel and thus polluting the surroundings. A literature review that investigates thoroughly existing pa...

Abstract The parking of cars is a globally recognized problem, especially at locations where there high demand for empty spaces. Drivers tend to cruise additional distances while searching spaces during peak hours leading problems, such as pollution, congestion, and driver frustration. Providing short-term predictions availability would facilitate the in making informed decisions planning their...

With the increase in vehicle production and world population, more and more parking spaces and facilities are required. In this paper a new parking system called Smart Parking System (SPS) is proposed to assist drivers to find vacant spaces in a car park in a shorter time. The new system uses ultrasonic (ultrasound) sensors to detect either car park occupancy or improper parking actions. Differ...

Finding a vacant parking lot in urban areas is mostly time-consuming and not satisfying for potential visitors or customers. Efficient car-park routing systems could support drivers to find an unoccupied parking lot. Current systems detecting vacant parking lots are either very expensive due to the hardware requirement or do not provide a detailed occupancy map. In this paper, we propose a vide...
