Sistema inteligente de gerenciamento e controle de vagas de estacionamento

Abstract

In large cities, there is na increasing presencence of personal vehicles being used as means of transportation for work and study places, as well as for leisure. As a result, the number of private car parks that provide security for vehicles has increased. However, the time wasted in order to find a parking place, as well as the allocation of personnel to assist drivers by the estabilishments, entails unnecessary costs for both sides. The current systems implemented mostly use tickets as a tool to control the number of available spaces, in wich the person in charge of the parking lot manages to define how many vehicles are there at his estabilishment, but it is not possibible to define it’s location within it. Thus, there is a need for a robust system, in wich is possible to inform both the user and the person in charge of the estabilishment, the number and location of available spaces within the parking lot. Therefore, this work proposes an intelligent system that orientate drivers to vacant parking spots, through signalers at the top of the parking spaces. For the development of his project, it was used the most varied knowledge acquired during graduation, and through these it was decided to use a micro controller called ESP-32, ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04 Node-RED, a flow-based development tool for visual programming and the aid of a database for storing the data of this work. Therefore, the aim of this work is to contribute to the better functioning parking spaces distribution systems through an intelligent parking management system, in addition to having a supervisory system that can assist in a better visualization of the parking spaces occupation by drivers, thus decreasing the search time for na available parking space. The system obtained the expected result, both in the hardware project and in the software. This system is prepared for future improvements, such as greater reach of the network through the implementation of network mesh in ESP-32 devices and also the implementation of signs indicating unoccupied spaces for drivers.
