However, said parking lot is often being abused by citizen who lacks awareness and civic. This paper presents a system that use preventive measure at the early stage to prevent citizen from abusing the parking lot. The system proposes an installation of a mechanical barrier inside the parking lot that prevents people from entering it. The parking can only be accessed through an OKU RFID card issued by local authorities. Upon successful verification, the mechanical barrier will lower down and the user can use the parking lot.
