Abstract

Lack of parking space has become major contributing factor to traffic congestion
which may affect the environmental condition due to incalculable amounts of wasted
fuel and carbon emission. Congestion and parking are interrelated as looking for
parking space may create additional delay and impair local circulation. The proposed
automatic parking system which embedded with radio frequency identification (RFID)
and internet of things (IoTs) module will introduce a monitoring platform for the
parking space. This intelligent parking system makes it possible for the drivers to
obtain information beforehand through their mobile hand phone application or any
display available. This paper describes the mechanical design of automatic indoor
parking space with the advancement of sensor networks application known as RFID.
The design criterias were studied to develop a parking prototype which dealing with
number of degree of freedom as well as movement mechanism. The result presented
at the end of this paper was evaluated from the engineering analysis using the
developed parking prototype to meet system performance as well as design safety
factor.
