Project Description

Smart Parking Guiding System leverages the latest technologies available for vehicle detection and utilizing the integrated control unit, allows the users to receive live parking data such as number of vacant or taken parking spots. The system utilizes pre-trained spatial recognition model which allows the OAK-1-POE camera, manufactured by Luxonis, to detect vehicles entering of leaving the designated parking areas. Upon data retrieval from the computer vision part of the system, they are updated to the database. The control unit server accesses the database and calculates the parking data. The idea is to update this calculated data via the custom-made PCB’s ethernet connection to the LED display. The concept of Smart Parking Guiding System is highly scalable with the possibility of magnitudes of improvements in terms of spatial recognition and object detection. It is a proof of concept of a modern parking system that can be implemented locally and without enough improvements, even globally to improve the parking experience for the people around the world.
