AI ENABLED CAR PARKING USING OPEN CV

Abstract

Innovative Smart Car Parking System 
(iSCAPS) integrated with e-Valet technology 
is proposed in this paper. The e-Valet 
function works just like how a valet parking 
would function. It ensures parking lot 
availability for the incoming customer. 
Beforehand, the smart phone is installed with 
the android apps to fully enjoy the functions 
of iSCAPS. By using the mobile apps, 
customer may reserve parking lot in advance, 
to enable the customer to park at a later time. 
Instead of using the conventional “Season 
Pass” or ticket, iSCAPS uses the Near Field 
Communication (NFC) function of smart   
51 
 
phone as parking ticket. With the mobile 
apps, communication will occur when the 
smart phone is placed near the NFC reader. 
Therefore, customer only needs to tap the 
smart phone on the designated reader to enter 
the car park and tap again on the way out to 
complete payment.  microcontroller is used 
as the brain of the system and control the 
input output of the system. Furthermore, 
vehicle searching function is included, which 
helps customers to locate their vehicle when 
forgotten. With the proposed iSCAPS the 
usage of RFID (Radio Frequency 
Identification) cards and paper tickets will be 
eliminated resulting lower cost, more 
convenience and eco-friendly
