Abstract:
Due to the proliferation in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic problems are bound
to exist. This is due to the fact that the current transportation infrastructure and vehicle
parking facility developed are unable to cope with the influx of vehicles on the road. To
alleviate the aforementioned problems Easy Online Parking System will be developed.
The main aim of this project is to provide the user with the parking space for their vehicle
irrespective of the fact that weather they know or don’t know the location properly they are
currently searching for parking space. There are lots of unused places owned by the people
which can be utilized for this purpose.
A website application is developed in such a way that it works in any browsers. The website
offers the most convenient way to park the vehicles. It provides privilege for the owners to sign
in and provide details about the place they own and the users will have privilege to sign in and
access the nearest and safest available parking place in their location as per their requirements
like distance, cost and time. The users get to contact the owners of the place directly and book
the space for their vehicle. This helps in keeping the city clean and organized. Hence the
parking problem in cities can be reduced. We will be using html for the front-end design and
java script for the back-end design.
Introduction:
India is developing at a very rapid speed today resulting in great urban expansion. It has
some of the world’s most populous metropolitan areas like New Delhi, Hyderabad,
Bangalore etc. With continuous expansion of these cities, the problem of parking spaces is
also increasing. The problem is very simple- the increase in the number of cars is indirectly
proportional with the available parking areas. The increased number of cars on the road
does not match with the parking areas that cities hold. As the population grows more
rapidly, the community is required to keep abreast of the development of the world itself,
with the rapidly increasing community can also affect the number of vehicles becoming
increasingly urban. The factor causes the desire of the community to get ease in carrying
out their daily activities to encourage the rapid advancement of technology. At present the
problem of parking in urban areas is the topic most widely discussed by the general public.
An unregulated tariff structure leads to a scarcity of parking spaces. In Indian metros,
parking is either free or minimally priced which is not regulated for many years. For
example, In Sarojini Nagar in Delhi, parking price is about Rs.20 per hour with a standard
fee of Rs.100 for 24 hours, making parking even cheaper. But why is unregulated or low
tariffs even a problem? This is because low priced or free parking encourages the people to
get their own cars on the road thus leading to an increased number of cars on roads which
have fewer parking spaces.
Vehicle parking is a problem that is often encountered in metropolitan cities, dealing with the
problem of finding a vehicle park at a place where each vehicle takes a long time to find an
empty parking space. Parking is a separate problem experienced by many places, from lack
of space, increasing number of vehicles each year, or lack of staff and systems that handle it.
The manual parking system is no longer an effective solution to overcome parking problems.
One of the causes of parking problems is the lack of information on empty parking spaces
known to visitors, so that drivers have difficulty in parking their vehicles. Many visitors have
to queue long enough to get parking tickets, sometimes even waiting in line is not necessarily
able to get a parking space. This certainly has the effect of loss in terms of the time spent
queuing for a park in the cities.
Residential areas always face a problem of less parking space mainly because of two
reasons- Increased population which leads to increased number of cars and the construction
of parking spaces. The construction of parking is generally unfit for the total numbers of
cars available in a particular residential area. Transportation systems in urban areas, as well
as the use of the number of vehicles in the transportation system that increased in finding
parking spaces.
Problems with parking lots are an important concern in terms of occupation, traffic
problems have increased which cannot be denied, thus requiring a way to reduce traffic to
automate the parking system by giving users prior information. By introducing a parking
management system using an online application can solve the problem of parking in
cities.
Creating a web-based information system that aims to provide use for visitors so it is useful,
when visitors use it to provide information on the availability of parking places on time so
that they can book a secure parking place anytime and from anywhere, save time and effort,
and pay electronics. The internet is an information medium used by almost all
institutions, organizations, businesses and individuals in introducing or promoting products
or services. With a site can build and support relationships with consumers through the
internet can provide up-to-date information, and others.
Parking systems were developed in such a way that users could order their parking spaces via
registering into the website and requests for the free space. The provision of information about
the parking management information system is expected to be able to curb and make parking
more orderly and increase security in parking management. Proposing a new smart parking
system for the urban environment in the form of information from the application can provide
optimal parking space based on the driver's cost function which combines distance to
destination and parking fees.
The pricing scheme is integrated with the proposed system in which parking price is
dynamically adjusted in response to the relationship of demand, supple and congestion level.
Upon receiving parking prices, drivers make their reservations to maximize their benefits
according to the utility function. Easy Online Parking System increases the revenue for service
providers, provides service differentiation for users with different needs, alleviates traffic
congestion caused parking searching and reduces the amount of traffic searching for parking.
Being able to accurately direct a driver to an available space has many environmental benefits;
it reduces CO2 emissions, noise and other pollutants.
Problem Statement:
Lack of parking spaces in metropolitan cities.
Objectives:
• The main aim of this project is to decrease the time consumed by the person manually
searching for the parking spaces in the places unfamiliar to him and to automate it to
make it easier.
• To eliminate the unnecessary movement of vehicles across the filled parking space in a
city. Many times, we can see in public places like malls and shopping centers there are
traffic jams due to unnecessary movement of vehicles searching for parking spaces in
the area that is already filled. This project helps in reducing these unnecessary
movements of vehicles across busy areas to reduce the traffic jams.

System analysis:
Introduction
Feasibility study is the process of determination of whether or not a project is worth doing.
Feasibility studies are undertaken within tight time constraints and normally culminate in a
written and oral feasibility report. The contents and recommendations of this feasibility
study helped us as a sound basis for deciding how to precede the project. It helped in
taking decisions such as which software to use, hardware combinations, etc.
The following is the process diagram for feasibility analysis. In the diagram, the feasibility
analysis starts with the user set of requirements. With this, the existing system is also
observed. The next step is to check for the deficiencies in the existing system. By evaluating
the above points, a fresh idea is conceived to define and quantify the required goals. The
user consent is very important for the new plan. Along with, for implementing the new system,
the ability of the organization is also checked. Besides that, a set of alternatives and their
feasibility is also considered in case of any failure in the proposed System. Thus, feasibility
study is an important part in software development.
Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility determines whether the work for the project can be done with the
Economic Feasibility
Economic feasibility determines whether there are sufficient benefits in creating to make the
cost acceptable, or is the cost of the system too high. As this signifies cost benefit analysis
and savings. On the behalf of the cost- benefit analysis, the proposed system is feasible
and is economical regarding its pre-assumed cost for making a system. During provides the
best operational impact for the end-users may also be the most expensive and therefore, the
least economically feasible.
Operational Feasibility
Operational feasibility criteria measure the urgency of the problem (survey and study
phases) or the acceptability of a solution (selection, acquisition and design phases).
Operational feasibility is the measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems,
and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it
satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system
development. The operational feasibility assessment focuses on the degree to which the
proposed development project fits in with the existing business environment and objectives
with regard to development schedule, delivery date, corporate culture and existing business
processes. To ensure success, desired operational outcomes must be imparted during
design and development.
Existing System
• Maria Waqas proposed “Smart Vehicle Parking Management System using Image
Processing”. This project focused on developing a parking management system based
on image processing to detect vacant parking slot in an area where automated systems
are not installed. Camera images of the parking area are subjected to image processing
algorithm which marks virtual slots in the area and extracts occupancy information to
guide the incoming drivers about availability and position of vacant spaces.
• Usman K proposed “Real Time Vehicle Parking System Using Mobile Application”.
This is aimed to provide easier way to book the vehicle parking slot. This application is
secured due to login authentication of Admin. This application includes two modules
that are Admin and user. Each module will be given with unique login id and password
after which they can access the information accordingly.
• Satish V. Reve proposed “Management of Car Parking System Using Wireless Sensor
Network”; this structure has altogether the infrared radar nodes which intellects the
rank of the vehicle gap besides transference of the facts to the AVR controller and it
demonstrates the facts on the led display intended for the customer.
Disadvantages
• Once the system is corrupted all the images will be lost.
• Security and privacy issues.
• Cost of maintenance.
Proposed System
Proposes a system for parking reservation in a private parking field in an urban metropolis.
The proposed system design can be used to eliminate unnecessary time consumption to
find an empty parking slot. By this system we address the problem raised by previous
studies that shows 15 to 25 percent of fuel wastage in vehicles stuck in traffic is caused by
wondering around for finding parking slots. In this system the reservation is done by the
user using online smartphone application. Hence the user find’s the empty parking slot and
can reserve parking slot as per their preference using an android application through
internet access.
Check-In and Check-Out will be handled in a rapid manner simultaneously authenticating
users to avoid long queues causing traffic jam. Thus making it convenient for the user to
set their own likely parking slot based on the time increasing the efficiency of land and
traffic management in an urban metropolis area.
Advantages
• Allows drivers to select the most convenient parking space under their budget
• constraints.
• Reduce parking stress.
• Reduce search traffic on streets.
• Consumption of less fuel.
• Cost and time efficient solution.
System Design:
It is simply the design of system. It implies a systematic and rigorous approach to design
an approach demanded by scale and complexity of many systems problem.
Sequence Diagram:
A sequence diagram or system sequence diagram shows process interactions arranged in time
sequence in the field of software engineering. It depicts the processes involved and the
sequence of message exchanged between the processes needed to carry out the functionality.
Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case realizations in the architectural
view model of the system under development. Sequence diagrams are sometimes called event
diagrams or event scenarios. For a particular scenario of a use case, the diagrams show the
events that external actors generate, their order and possible inter- system events. All systems
are treated as a black box, the diagram places emphasis on events that cross the system
boundary from actors to systems.
Wireframing
• Wireframing reduces the overall cost of the project. During this process, this can easily
adapt or change the interactions of page with 0 budget spent on graphic design, coding,
and programming.
• Clear visualization of what every element and screen will do. It is much easier to
specify the action visually with wireframes rather than only a word document.
• Wireframes protects from unwanted surprises. Proper wireframing makes it easy to avoid
that problem of software development.
• Enables testing with target audience. Feedback can be received from potential
customers the better.
buttons have to be purposeful and clear as to what will happen when clicked. Create
enough space between elements - especially on mobile - some people can have really huge
fingers.
Methodology
In the proposed scheme, the system consists of three levels, including sensing layer,
communication layer and cognitive server’s layer. Fig 6.1 shows the system framework.
• The Owner registers their space in the website by providing their location and secure
facilities available and cost is displayed accordingly.
• The Renter gets registered to the website and enter the location where they want to park.
• Choose from the options given to you for the parking lot of your choice.
• Click on ‘Book’ once you have selected the parking space for rent.
• You can select the preferred time and date of your choice.
