IPLMS: An intelligent parking lot management system

Abstract

In this paper, we are introducing an intelligent valet parking management system that guides the cars to autonomously park within a parking lot. The IPLMS for Intelligent Parking Lot Management System, consists of two modules: 1) a model car with a set of micro-controllers and sensors which can scan the environment for suitable parking spot and avoid collision to obstacles, and a Parking Lot Management System (IPLMS) which screens the parking spaces within the parking lot and offers guidelines to the car. The model car has the capability to autonomously maneuver within the parking lot using a fuzzy logic algorithm, and execute parking in the spot determined by the IPLMS, using a parking algorithm. The car receives the instructions from the IPLMS through a wireless communication link. The IPLMS has the flexibility to be adopted by any parking management system, and can potentially save the clients time to look for a parking spot, and/or to stroll from an inaccessible parking space. Moreover, the IPLMS can decrease the financial burden from the parking lot management by offering an easy-to-install system for self-guided valet parking.

Research on Intelligent Parking Management System of Urban Roadside

“…According to the city statistics, in April 2013, the number of motor vehicles in main urban area of Hangzhou has exceeded 1 million, but the existing parking spaces are only about 400,000; In February 2012, the number of motor vehicles in Beijing more than 5 _______________________ Xiangrong Li, Fuhai Fan, Mingke Zhang, Xianghai Meng, Qingdao University of Science &Technology, Laoshan District Songling Road, Qingdao, Shandong, China, 266061 million, but more than 1.47 million parking spaces, there are more than 1 million parking spaces in the unmanaged state, the parking gap reached 2.5 million. As of March 2012, Tianjin motor vehicle ownership reached 2.665 million and motor vehicles on the growth of more than 30,000; the Tianjin Binhai District is about 600,000 vehicles a day and is growing at an annual rate of 15% a year [1]. Generally, the proportion of urban parking spaces and motor vehicles is about 10% ~ 20%.…”

Design and Implementation of Non-stop Toll Collection System for Parking Lot Based on Mobile Intelligent Terminal

“…The problem of difficulty and inefficiency of parking has been aggravated by the increase of private cars. In order to ease the situation and improve the travel experience of citizens, the research and application of intelligent parking lots plays a vital role [1].…”
