Developing parking queue monitoring system using Wireless Sensor Network and RFID technology

Abstract

Parking areas in urban centers are increasingly limited, but not in line with technological developments in addressing the problem of parking service needs in the urban public service center by implementing smart city technology. Many times the parking service waiting time is too long, due to a complicated procedure. Waiting time for services that are too long makes the parking queue increase in length, especially when registering for the end of a new parking lot. Besides, the storage of visitors’ parking slip accumulation is still manual and not paperless. Therefore, in this study, a solution was proposed in the form of a system to accelerate administrative services for parking visitors by integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies. This system utilizes the database so that the results of data processing can be used by management to obtain visitor data information on parking online and quickly. The results obtained from this study are a prototype of a parking visitor monitoring system using WSN technology based on Zigbee and RFID protocols. Meanwhile, the results of visitor parking information presented in data processing can be used by management to find out statistical data relating to parking services.

ESPAR array design for the UHF RFID wireless sensor communication system

“…Most of the companies have UHF memory entry RFID chips as a standard model. By changing the transmission of the power mode, the EM4325 can easily work; 1,5 among them, two power points can be used for the transmission, one depends on the power used by the reader and the other in processing which uses little energy from an outside battery 2 . The ESPAR antenna is used in this design to be integrated with the EM4325.…”

“…As a result, these factors usually affect received signals strength (RSS) and exhibits highly unpredictable reading. When the tag location is near the reader, the RSS feed is of a higher standard; but after increasing distance, the RSS level may be lower due to the interference 5–7 . There are many methods to minimize this interference problem, but the most effective one is to apply high gain directional antenna‐like electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna.…”

“…the interference. [5][6][7] There are many methods to minimize this interference problem, but the most effective one is to apply high gain directional antenna-like electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna. ESPAR antennas have lower design complexity, higher gains, and could operate at the ISM band of 2.40 GHz frequency.…”
