Abstract

Currently, our technology development keeps enhancing and it is lead to one of our Malaysia Framework in which Malaysia can become one of the Smart City Country. Smart Parking facilities are the most important considerations to create Smart City concept since parking problem become an annoying issue. Besides, the number of vehicles on the road keep increasing as vehicles become one of necessity in our life and currently, the market value of the cars is low. Due to this matter, user need to consume more energy and time to find free parking space manually that end up lead to traffic congestion and excess consumption of fuel. This system comprises Raspberry pi as a main controller, ESP32 as a second controller to monitor parking availablity, Raspberry pi camera for capturing vehicle plate number, MySQL database, Android Studio as an IDE for the development mobile application and OpenCV software for license plate number recognition process. Raspberry pi cameras were installed in certain locations which were entrance gate barrier and exit gate barrier to capture license plate number for the user authorization. The proposed system used some of recognition software such as Optical Character Recognition to segment and recognize the characters in the captured images. There are several process of image processing have been done by using algorithm in the OpenCV which read input image, preprocessing image such as convert to grayscale and binary images, character segmentation. The license plate number will be converted into text to compare with the data in the database. Once license plate number matched, the user will be authorised and the gate barrier will be opened or closed. Infrared sensor were installed in each parking slot to detect the presence of vehicle. Mobile application is significant to ease the user to check the parking availability. As conclusion, the implementation of this system will solve all of the problem occurs such as traffic congestion, time and fuel consuming and also ease user to park their vehicle without competing with other users.
