ABSTRACT

The project entitled “Intelligent Parking System” has been designed and developed
for any enterprise, school or college. The main aim of the project is to computerization of
daily parking activities in the organization. It is a database system for creating selective
related information, for subsequent analysis manipulation and application.

It contains several modules to record the details about the Parker, Administrator
details, normal user details and bill details. It maintains the reports about the bills generated
by the software. The project is very useful for managing the parking system.

The package is easy to use for recording the parking details effectively. It is very
simple in its creation and all the user-friendly facilities are provided. Project has various
modules for effectively storing parking details and managing parking system. Authorization
is provided through login module.

It is mainly designed to take handle vehicles parked in lots. When the parker parks a
vehicle in a free slot, slot will become busy. When the parker takes vehicle out of the slot,
amount will be calculated based on the time the vehicle resides in the slot. Project will also
calculated and provide balance amount to the parker while taking vehicle from the slot. It is
developed using ANDROID as front end and SQLITE as back end.
 INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE PROJECT

It is a vehicle parking administration program. It uses user accounts and an admin

account that controls the other accounts. In the startup screen, the registered users can choose
their user name that is retrieved from the database. Then they have to supply a password. If
the entered password is the same with the one in the database, the authentication is made and
the user can access the program.

When the user accesses the program, they can change their personal data. It is done by
retrieving all the fields from a database and displayed in the text boxes. The user can edit the
text and when the Save Changes button is pressed, all the data are written back to the
database.

It is a simple database read and writes. Viewing other user’s information is done by
filling a combo box with all the usernames. When a user clicks a username in the combo box,
the text boxes are filled with the information read from the database. The data are not
editable, because text is displayed in labels that are read only. Adding a new vehicle to the
vehicle type combo box is done by adding at runtime a new item to the combo box.

The new item added is the text written in the text box. It is only a temporary value,
because the next time the program will be loaded, the combo box will be refreshed with the
old values. Users can log out and turn to the welcome screen, so they can log in again. There
is also an admin account.

An admin can edit other users Username, password and title. He also can delete user
accounts. These options are found in the Admin Panel, which is visible only for the admin
account. Unregistered users must register first with the admin approval, and then can access
the program. The registration is quick and easy. There are some fields to be filled and then
the username will be recognized as register.

 SYSTEM STUDY

EXISTING SYSTEM

Vehicle Parking Management transmits the information by the medium of internet

with a remote control centre. It goes without saying that Parking is a vital factor of the
transportation system in daily life. None of us is untouched with irritating parking problems.
A general survey reveals that a vehicle is parked for approximately 22 hours each day.
Parking facilities and maintenance are one of the major costs.

DRAWBACKS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Today, most of the urban areas suffer from a challenge, which is better known as
Parking traffic, which signifies traffic caused by motorists looking for their parking space or
sometimes moving their vehicles out of parking areas.

 In existing system, customers will not be able to view the lot and park the vehicle
 Customers will get the bill from the employee in parking lot, till that they will not
have a chance to know about the charges for parking
 There is no reminder from parking system to the customers who park regularly
through the system.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system meant to give more easiness to the users that they can add and
retrieve information so quickly. There are mainly two types of users they are administrator
and parker. The administrator is the master user; he gets the most number of priorities than
the other users. The different functions involve the case of an administrator are updating,
approval. The administrator can view and perform necessary actions. Parker can register and
get the desired result.

There is a slot combo box, where the user can pick the slot. If a car wants to enter a
slot, the user finds a free slot, picks a car type and enters the plate number. When the Start
Slot button is pressed, the time for that slot begins and that slot is considered BUSY. When
the car goes out, the user presses the stop slot button. In this time the Fee is prompt in the
screen. The user has also to enter the amount paid and then click the calculate button, to
know the change he has to give to the client. When the calculate button is pressed, all the data
are written in a text file.

The text file contains details about current Date/Time, Time In and Time Out, Slot
Number, Vehicle Type, Plate Number, Fee, Amount Paid and Change. There is another file
used in vehicle parking system called as users file. It is used to store the basic details of user
like username, password, age, title and description about the user.

FEATURES

The proposed system is intended to avoid all the drawbacks of existing system. It will
add some more features than the existing system. The proposed system is a cost effective way
of doing the manual processes done in the existing system. This helps the organization to win
the war in the existing competitive world.

 In existing system, customers can be able to view the parking lot and then can park
the vehicle
 Customers can also visit website and can view their vehicle and parking status easily
even when they are out of station.
MODULES

There are 5 modules in the project. They are as follows

 Authentication Module
 Vehicle Module
 Parker Module
 Parking Module
 Payment Module
 Reports Module

Authentication Module

Only the registered users can login and use the system. It is used for logging in the
system. It is used for verifying the user. Once the user is authenticated, they can access the
system.

Vehicle module

The module can be accessed through Master Menu in MDI form. In the vehicle
module, information of vehicles from name to charge is maintained for payment calculation
in an easier way. When a customer search for a vehicle to park in a slot, customer will be able
to view the available slot list, where they can select the desired one and park. Vehicle details
like vehicle id, model, parking charge etc are managed through this module.

Parker module

The module can be accessed through Master Menu in MDI form. Details of parker are
maintained in this module. When a new user registered, their login details will be stored in
login database and their travel details will be stored in parker database. Parker module is used
for maintaining parkers overall.

Operations that can be performed in the new parker module are: user can add the new
parker details. Existing registered parkers can update their details, etc. Parkers can also get
acknowledgement message through this module.
Parking Module

The module can be accessed through Transaction Menu in MDI form. Parking details
are managed through this module. Once the users are registered by the administrator, users
can login and park vehicles through the user login module. However, the current user would
not be able to delete his/her record as the admin or moderator.

Payment Module

The module can be accessed through Transaction Menu in MDI form. Payment details
are managed through this module. While taking the vehicle back from parking slot, charges
will be automatically generated.

Reports Module

The module can be accessed through Reports Menu in MDI form. Reports can be
generated through this module. Payment reports can be generated. Similarly parking report,
vehicle report, parker report and waiting report can also be generated.
