Abstract

In today’s fast-paced world, time is of the essence. With the growing number of vehicles in urban and semi-urban towns and cities the time wasted in traffic is alarmingly high. Too much dismay, the time wasted in finding a parking spot is equally high and can be easily prevented. When properly planned, parking vehicles can be a swift process. An Automated Parking Manager with Cameras and wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. Several versions of cameras exist and there are no parking lots today without a camera. Video Surveillance over wireless sensor networks has been widely adopted in various cyber-physical systems including border security, traffic analysis, healthcare systems in hospitals, public safety (bus, mall etc.), wildlife tracking and environment/weather monitoring etc. However, this paper aims to solve a rather interesting scenario that is not much discussed in reality. Instead of using the cameras only for security and surveillance purposes, cameras can also be used to monitor the parking lot for empty spaces with the help of Wireless Sensor Networks. The usage of Wireless Sensor Networks improves reliability and acts as a fool-proof technique to detect the presence or absence of a vehicle in a particular spot. All these camera systems available in the market run 24x7 and have enormous junk data stored in the form of videos. So the proposed system in this paper does not store any video information. Media data is always the heavier data to store. Instead, very little information in the form of text is stored about the vehicles and their designated spots, thereby reducing huge storage issues. This solution does not require any major modifications to the pre-existing architecture of the surveillance infrastructure in any parking arena. It only requires an extension and some amount of processing to choose and store the required information on a cloud-based storage so that it can be viewed by users from an Android Application from anywhere. This allows the users to make well-informed decisions about the parking situation in the complex they want to visit. The proposed solution can be applied to shopping complexes, theatre’s, drive-ins and pretty much any area with a parking lot.
