ABSTRACT

The smart parking system is considered beneficial for the car park operators, car park patrons as well as in
environment conservation The industrialization of the world, increase in population, slow paced city
development and mismanagement of the available parking space has resulted in parking related problems.
Finding a vacant parking space is a common problem in most urban cities which especially occurs in popular
and well travelled places like shopping complexes, stadiums and other well travelled areas or tourist attraction
spots. Intelligent Parking Service is a part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). There is a dire need for a
secure, intelligent, efficient and reliable system which can be used for searching the unoccupied parking facility,
guidance towards the parking facility, negotiation of the parking fee, along with the proper management of the
parking facility. This paper reviews different Intelligent Parking Services used for parking guidance, parking
facility management and gives an insight into the economic analysis of such projects.

internet. The systems provide the location of the
available car park spaces based on the driver’s
current location in intended area or his final
destination. Global Positioning system is used to
trace the driver’s route to the parking destination,
after the parking space is reserved. This results in
traffic congestion as multiple users are being directed
toward the same parking area at the same time.

mechanical model with an image processing facility.
The car would be parked with the use of lift at
multiple levels. Also, image processing is used to
capture the number plate and store in database for
