Design and Implementation of Smart Car Parking System (SCPS) Using Rasberry Pi

Parking is one of those universal challenges most people can relate to. Parking causes congestion on our city streets, contributes to pollution, and causes motorist frustration in most cities around the globe. As we look at ways to apply technology to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our cities today, parking is ripe for innovation. Here are a few interesting facts: first, 20 minutes is the average time spent looking for a parking space globally, second, 30% of city traffic consists of people looking for parking, third, 60% of drivers have given up on an activity recently due to the difficulty of finding parking [5]. This paper introduces the proposed architecture of Smart Car Parking system which will provide real-time parking availability information to make it easier for drivers to find a parking space. Image processing detects vehicle occupancy are providing the basic intelligence behind smart car parking systems
