Implementation of an Intelligent Parking System

Increasing vehicles on the road creates hustle in developed and underdeveloped countries. The traffic condition requires the space for parking. This paper presents an intelligent parking solution to fulfil the need. Image Processing (Adaptive Thresholding) and Computer Vision (Single Shot Detection model) methods have been used to identify free slots and monitor vehicles at parking entrance and exit to incorporate intelligent behavior (License plate detection). Owner and driver applications (windows and mobile respectively) provides a way to interact (fare collection and real-time monitoring) with the proposed system. 90% accuracy of license plate detection has been achieved with a low processing cost. The proposed system provides a cost-effective solution by using CPU based algorithms. This solution provides a great opportunity for electronic vehicles to fulfill their space and charging need.
