Abstract

When entering a parking building, parking management cannot guarantee a parking space to a driver. Many times a driver must wasting his time to find one free space. This leads to waste of fuel, congestion, and frustration for driver. This paper presents a prototype of a parking system that enables a driver to reserve a parking space using an application. MAC Address from driver’s device used as an identifier and extracted using Airodump-ng. Parallax PING sensor is used at the parking space to detect the presence of car. An Arduino is used as microcontroller to control the system. Solar panels are used to provide power for the system. This system helps a driver to reserve a parking space before he enters the building, provide certainty to the driver and eliminating time needed to find a space.
