Abstract: This study introduces a new approach of parking system by using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology
equipped with ultrasonic sensors. The system also implements shortest path algorithm to calculate the shortest distance from the
parking berth to the nearest preferred entrance. The system operates by monitoring the availability of the vehicle berth and
making the information collected available for patrons and car-park operator. The information gained from the detection sensor
and calculation from the shortest path algorithm is used to guide patrons to parking berth. The car-park operators use the
sensors’ information to aid in overall management and planning. WSN is chosen since it enables reliable information gathering
and measurement to be transmitted through wireless channel without having to install new cabling for network and electricity to
reach each sensing device.
I. INTRODUCTION
The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) started with things with identity communication devices. The devices could be tracked,
controlled or monitored using remote computers connected through Internet. IoT extends the use of Internet providing the
communication, and thus inter-network of the devices and physical objects, or ‘Things’. The two prominent words in IoT are
“internet” and “things”. Internet means a vast global network of connected servers, computers, tablets and mobiles using the
internationally used protocols and connecting systems. Internet enables sending, receiving, or communicating of information. Thing
in English has number of uses and meanings. Dictionary meaning of ‘Thing’ is a term used to reference to a physical object, an
action or idea, situation or activity, in case when we do not wish to be precise. IoT, in general consists of inter-network of the
devices and physical objects, number of objects can gather the data at remote locations and communicate to units managing,
acquiring, organizing and analyzing the data in the processes and services. It provides a vision where things (wearable, watch, alarm
clock, home devices, surrounding objects with) become smart and behave alive through sensing, computing and communicating by
embedded small devices which interact with remote objects or persons through connectivity. The scalable and robust nature of
Cloud computing is allowing developer to create and host their applications on it. Cloud acts as a perfect partner for IoT as it acts as
a platform where all the sensor data can be stored and accessed from remote locations. These factors gave rise to the amalgamation
of both technologies thus leading to the formation of a new technology called Cloud of Things(CoT). In CoT the things(nodes)
could be accessed, monitored and controlled from any remote location through the cloud. Due to high scalability in cloud any
number of node could be added or removed from the IoT system on a real time basis. In simple terms IoT can be explained in form
of an equation stating:
Ultrasonic Sensor
LED INDICATORS
Ultrasonic Sensor
DC Motor
Ultrasonic Sensor (ARDUINO
UNO)
ESP8266 WI-FI
Ultrasonic Sensor MODULE
B. Block Diagram
The System consists of two sides, the first one is the main unit, and this unit will be located in every spot in the parking lot. These
units will be connected with our second, the coordinator. So every coordinator will control the information from and to the units
connected with it. Every spot in the parking lot will contain the main unit. Our unit consist of: The basic block diagram of the IOT
based Smart Vehicle Parking Manger shown in the above figure. Mainly this block diagram consist of the following essential
blocks.
In micro-controller the data received is compared with the data stored in micro-controller, If the value reduces below certain limit a
buzzer is on, the readings are shown on LCD with all four lane with status of empty and Full.
