AUTOMATED PARKING FACILITIES

ABSTRACT
The propose of “Automated Parking Facility” states that provides
customers an easy way of reserving a parking space online. It overcomes the
problem of finding a parking Space in commercial areas that unnecessary
consumes time. Hence this project offers a web based reservation system where
users can view various parking areas and select the space to view whether space
is available or not. If the booking space is available then he can book it for
specific time slot. The booked space will be marked yellow and will not be
available for anyone else for the specified time. This system provides an
additional feature of cancelling the bookings. User can cancel their books space
anytime. Users can even make payment online via credit card. After making
payment users are notified about the booking via email along with unique
parking number.
The requirements for the developed system were collected using
observation and interviewing the customer and staff member from people's
park. The data from interviews was analyzed using Microsoft Excel so as to come
up with the functional, non- functional and system requirements. These
requirements were later used to design the system by creating data flow
diagrams and entity relationship diagrams. The designed system was
implemented using different development tools which include HTML for
creating interfaces, CSS for styling wed pages, JavaScript, and Query for
dynamism in the web pages and as an input validation tool. XAMMP was used
to build the database and PHP used as a server side scripting language to
connect the user interfaces to the database. The system was tested by the
researchers for errors.
 1. INTRODUCTION

1. 1 OVERVIEW
The project entitled "Automated Parking Facility" will facilitate the
whole administration of the attendant and the customer of the parking System.
The parking place is very important all over the world especially in the cities of
the countries. Every day thousands of car drivers spend a lot of the time to find
where to park. The result of this situation is theft in urban areas, increasing
traffic congestion and frustration of drivers, In order to solve this problem, the
implementation of smart parking Booking System in this city for managing
parking places is mandatory.
Parking Management system is a web based Application to the events
of customers. In this system, customer can register in the application and get
user id and password. Administrator will manage all the events adding, deleting
and updating the slots. Existing system is very difficult to manage and it is a time
consuming process. More manual work is needed. We have to face high level
risk in maintain the existed system. In overcome all these problems the project
is developed from manual procedure to automate. This project has been
developed in order to overcome the difficulties encountered while using the
existing system.
