Smart parking system-RFID card and reader / Muhammad Syazwan Zolkifli

The attraction of large shopping malls with the increasing the number of cars have lead to parking issues and concerns at shopping malls’ car parks. These problems not occur in shopping mall only, but also in large hospitals or somewhere that provide covered parking space. Drivers have to find an empty parking space in such a large area, thus wasting a lot of time. Moreover, in a larger parking area, driver tends to forget the location of their cars because of the similar look of parking lot at every level. Therefore, this thesis is to ease the driver in finding a vacant parking lot by using RFID technology. Since RFID can store data in its card, thus it can tell the driver the exact location of his/her car and also calculating the amount that user has to pay. The main idea is to stored the data from the RFID card to the database, such as in-time, exit-time and also the parking lot number when the user tag the card to the card reader and the data be retrieved whenever the user tag the card before they make the payment. The development of this project is based on the iterative agile model. The development phase is started by planning, analysis and design, development, testing and maintenance, result and conclusion and finally ending it with documentation. Therefore, the implementation of this project ease the user as they did not have to wasting their time anymore in order to searching for their own cars.
