An User Interest and Payment-aware Automated Car Parking System for the Bangladeshi People Using Android Application

Abstract

Car parking is one of the most significant issues in today's world. Parking cars on surrounding roads and pathways can cause unfair traffic jams and thus hampers people's daily activity. To avoid these problems, the development of a smart car parking system is a major concern for several developed countries. At present, most of the previous studies on car parking systems suffer from several limitations such as lack of security, wastage of time, huge money expenses, and lack of user interest-aware car parking system. To overcome existing challenges, this paper presents a user interest and payment-aware automated car parking system using Internet-of-things (IoT) technology. In this paper, an android application for smart car parking is developed for Bangladeshi people that allow users to choose emergency or non-emergency parking slots based on their interest and payment verification. For anti-theft purposes, this system offers an early alert and notification feature. The experimental test results by investigating several use cases depict the suitability of the proposed system.
