Smart Parking System With Background Subtraction Algorithm Using Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) Technology on Raspberry Pi 4

As the number of vehicles on the roads continues to rise, finding suitable parking spaces has become a major concern for drivers. Many drivers face frustration due to the lack of information about available parking spots, resulting in fatigue and wasted time. This research aims to address this issue by developing an intelligent parking system. The system employs object detection technology using a camera connected to a Raspberry Pi 4 and is complemented by a Progressive Web App (PWA) for easy access across different platforms. The study follows a research and development approach, incorporating agile methodologies for system development. Through this application, users can effortlessly check the availability of parking spaces using their preferred devices. Consequently, drivers will no longer have to spend time manually searching for parking spots. Furthermore, the application is integrated with Socketio to provide real-time data updates and supports non-cash payments to expedite the transaction process.
