Abstract—With the rapid growth of vehicle availability and
usage on the road in recent years, finding a vacant car parking
space is becoming more and more difficult which resulting in a
number of conflicts such as traffic problems. In this paper, a
prototype of Monitoring Parking Space Vacancy System is
introduced using wireless technologies to alleviate the traffic
problems. The system includes two modules, parking lot vacancy
monitoring module, and master module. Parking lot vacancy
monitoring module consists of digital infrared sensor, liquid
crystal display (LCD), and Zigbee module which are interfaced
with PIC microcontroller. Master modules include laptop GUI
display, and Zigbee modules. The user can get the status of
parking lot vacancy through the LCD of monitoring parking
vacancy module. The Zigbee transceiver on monitoring parking
vacancy module which interfaced with microcontroller is to
transmit the infrared sensor data when the digital infrared
sensor detects the presence of vehicle in the parking areas and
thus provide the status of the parking lot to be displayed in
master module with Graphical User interface (GUI).
Index Terms—Parking monitoring, Zigbee, graphical user
interface (GUI).
