INTELLIGENT AUTONOMOUS PARKING SYSTEM INTEGRATING RFID AND IOT FOR SMART CITIES

An autonomous parking system is the essential innovation for stress free car parking in smart cities. The efficient use of resources is a key goal of smart cities, and their integration with technology has improved productivity and dependability for urban infrastructure. In this paper, an efficient automated parking system integrating Internet of Things (IOT) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies is proposed. The proposed system is integrated with IOT hence the consumers can book the parking slots before arriving the destination which drastically reduce the time taken by the consumers in searching the parking slot. The proposed system effectively saves time for the consumers and also significantly provide solution for all the parking related issues faced by the management of flats, theatres, malls, hospitals etc. In management perspective, this system would help them for better use of their resources and reduce the amount of labour needed to maintain these parking lots. The automated parking system overcome the important issue of jamming near the gates of parking slots by smoothening the check in and check out process of vehicles. The RFID tags given to the drivers reduces the time for vehicle identification as it is done automatically. The proposed system avoids long queue at the gates, unnecessary traffic jam near the gates, reduces the time, and ensures security by allowing only the registered users identified through RFID tags. Thus the proposed system will be a sophisticated system for the consumers, drivers and a boon to mall owners and management
