Design of smart parking system using IOT for multi-storey parking lot / Che Mohd Amin Khalili Che Zulkifli

Internet of things (IoT) is defined as the extension of internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects. The components which embedded with the internet connectivity, sensors or other form of electronics devices that can be connected and communicate with each other over the internet. Then, by using IoT concept also can easily monitored and controlled the system or hardware especially during troubleshoot the problems occur. So that, with the help of IoT concept, it can be applied to things like transportation network such as to develop a smart city which can help us to reduce waste and improve efficiency for things such as energy use. Next, smart city also can improve the parking system to be more efficient and user friendly to make sure there is no traffic congestion occur during peak hour especially at the famous place. Furthermore, this paper presents the Smart Parking System using IoT concept to resolve the issue of limited number of parking space or lot for multi-storey building in UiTM. Within this project, the Internet of Things (IoT) concept was demonstrated using Bluetooth device which is HC-06 to connect with the Blynk apps. By using this concept, it can assist the drivers to easily find an available parking space. Furthermore, the management can monitor the parking with this apps. The findings were compared between the car to park with the system and without the system. The results show that with the help of Smart Parking system can help to minimize the time taken needed for the drivers to find an available parking space without wasting their time which is estimated less than 3 minutes. Compared to the parking without this system, drivers needed to spend more time to find parking space especially in the crowded area. All the data for the time taken needed for the drivers spent can be calculated by using an equation.
