Centralized Control Parking System using API Geeknesia

The increasing number of transportations, need a good maintenance management parking place. Smart Parking System (SPS) is an smart parking system that has been implemented in various places. However, some of the SPS has not provided an information that allows the driver to find an empty parking space easily. In this research, we design an SPS that applies using geeknesia's Application Programming Interface (API) as a centralized IoT server for the embedded system. This system is embedded with the integrated internet-based monitoring system that utilizes server geeknesia.com and a monitoring application parking space on the smartphone. We create the API form in geeknesia.com that will save any changes from the signal sensor as the information of empty space. The testing system is performed with 10 samples parking space area with attached ultrasonic sensor devices. This system is tested to check the correctness of changing data which is generated by the sensor based on the real condition in the parking lot and to see whether the system works. The result showed that the system can read the changes of the sensor, precisely and the changes of the sensor can give the information to the user whether the slot is reserved or empty
