Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary•As residents of Pakistan we travel a lot specially to get to school and back home, on our way we see different parking areas filled with illegally parked cars. Finding a free parking slot in a congested city like Pakistan is very hard. Here, if anyone wants to go outside from home with a personal car first thing that comes to mind is about parking, where he/she will park his/her car. In most cases, people go to a parking stations and find that all parking slots are full and then have to go to another parking station hoping there will be space there.
•Most of them end up parking illegally creating traffic jam and making it hard for parking attendants. Though it seems not like an issue; it is still quite an issue. Infrastructure wise we have witnessed some work done in the city. Different buildings offer parking services in different parts of the city, it is a good start but lacks coordination among the different facilities because it doesn’t consider the fact that the driver needs to be physically present to find out if there is a parking slot available.
Project Objectives- Optimized parking – Users find the best spot available, saving time, resources and effort. The parking lot fills up efficiently and space can be utilized properly by commercial and corporate entities.
- Reduced traffic – Traffic flow increases as fewer cars are required to drive around in search of an open parking space.
- Reduced pollution – Searching for parking burns around one million barrels of oil a day. An optimal parking solution will significantly decrease driving time, thus lowering the amount of daily vehicle emissions and ultimately reducing the global environmental footprint.
- Increased Safety – Parking lot employees and security guards contain real-time lot data that can help prevent parking violations and suspicious activity. License plate recognition cameras can gather pertinent footage. Also, decreased spot-searching traffic on the streets can reduce accidents caused by the distraction of searching for parking.
- Real-Time Data and Trend Insight – Over time, a smart parking solution can produce data that uncovers correlations and trends of users and lots. These trends can prove to be invaluable to lot owners as to how to make adjustments and improvements to drivers.
- Decreased Management Costs – More automation and less manual activity saves on labor cost and resource exhaustion.
Project can be implented at University point/bus parking or CL parking or any department parking as requirment of University.
First we will visit the area and make some measurements of the area and calculate the dimensions and requirement of the users based on that particular area. Increase in number of parking will increase the equipment and definately cost will aslo increase according to that.
Benefits of the Project Superior TechnologyParking management systems are known for its integration with technology. Most systems are based on improved models and technological innovations, because of this, parking management systems are suited to be used in various parking lots. Additionally, you can customise parking technologies to suit your parking spaces’ needs and requirements, whether it’s for residential or commercial use such as hospitals or offices.
Another great benefit about parking management systems is its versatility. It is very easy for authorities and vehicle owners to use it. It is also very flexible and does not cause any inconvenience to its users. Additionally, you can adjust the settings depending on the number of vehicle traffic.
Because parking management systems are organised in a structured manner, it is very easy to manage as well as control and regulate. Parking management systems are also user-friendly, and the parking staff won’t have any difficulties handling the system.
Maintaining your parking management system is fairly easy. Gemini Parking Solutions offer maintenance around the clock. If any part of the system becomes defective, it can easily be fixed, and your operations will continue in no time.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableUser will get an application in mobile where he need to register by his roll number. After that he or she can check whether there is a free parking in University premis or not. he or she can get track the route to his or her parking if there is a free parking by simply using the app which will be provided by university.
