Intelligent Monitoring System Using Mobile Applications For Parking Control In Crowded Cities

In recent decades, the number of urban vehicles has risen rapidly, causing problems such as traffic congestion and prolonged parking space search. In order to overcome the problem of parking space searches, large overground/ underground car parks have been built in city centers and other high-demand areas for parking spaces, such as office buildings, malls, airports. Technology based intelligence systems developed within Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) should be implemented to inform drivers of the number of available parking spaces and their distribution between different parking spaces or between different levels of a specific place parking. These ITS-based information systems use different sensors to detect the presence of machines on a parking space such as magnetic, infrared or ultrasound sensors and belong to classic parking management systems. These sensors must be installed in each parking space and require significant installation and maintenance efforts. The goal of this study is to develop such a parking control system that monitors and informs about the amount of parking space available.
