Abstract
With the rapid growth of vehicle availability andusage on the road in recent years, finding a vacant car parkingspace is becoming more and more difficult which resulting in anumber of conflicts such as traffic problems. In this paper, aprototype of Monitoring Parking Space Vacancy System isintroduced using wireless technologies to alleviate the trafficproblems. The system includes two modules, parking lot vacancymonitoring module, and master module. Parking lot vacancymonitoring module consists of digital infrared sensor, liquidcrystal display (LCD), and Zigbee module which are interfacedwith PIC microcontroller. Master modules include laptop GUIdisplay, and Zigbee modules. The user can get the status ofparking lot vacancy through the LCD of monitoring parkingvacancy module. The Zigbee transceiver on monitoring parkingvacancy module which interfaced with microcontroller is totransmit the infrared sensor data when the digital infraredsensor detects the presence of vehicle in the parking areas andthus provide the status of the parking lot to be displayed inmaster module with Graphical User interface (GUI).
