In this paper, for efficient parking control, in an Arduino environment, an intelligent parking control prototype was implemented to provide parking control and parking guidance information using HC-SR2O4 and RC522. The main elements of intelligent parking control are vehicle recognition sensors, parking control facilities, and integrated operating software. Whether the vehicle is parked on the parking surface may be confirmed through sensor or intelligent camera image analysis. Parking control equipment products include parking guidance and parking available display devices, vehicle number recognition cameras, and intelligent parking assistance systems. This paper applies and implements ultrasonic sensors and RFID concepts based on Arduino, recognizes registered vehicles, and displays empty spaces. When a vehicle enters a parking space to handle this function, the automatic parking management system distinguishes the registered vehicle from the external vehicle through the RC522 sensor. In addition, after checking whether the parking slot is empty, the HC-SR204 sensor is displayed through the LED so that the driver can visually check it. RFID is designed to check the parking status of the server in real time and provide the driver with optimal route service to the parking slot.

The term parking management system usually refers to the custom built hardware intensive systems installed in building and malls. However, there are many places where such expensive solutions cannot be installed due to various reasons, like cost and urgent/temporary setup requirements. This project focuses on developing a parking management system based on image processing to detect vacant parking slot in an area where automated systems are not installed. Camera images of the parking area are subjected to image processing algorithm which marks virtual slots in the area and extracts occupancy information to guide the incoming drivers about availability and position of vacant spaces. The application consists of two interfaces: one for the guidance of the incoming drivers and the other one for the administrator. The later interface also informs the administrator if a car is not parked properly in the virtual slot. This parking system would reduce the stress and time wastage associated with car parking and would make the management of such areas less costly.

Autoparking assistant systems are a new and very promising area in automotive systems engineering. Since the traffic in modern cities becomes more intense, it is getting harder for a driver. Those systems are necessary for an inexperienced one to find a proper parking slot, or to park in a narrow parking slot without damaging his car or the vehicles around. The implementation of autoparking assistant systems may reduce drivers' stress and make parking generally more comfortable. In addition, such system can be extremely useful for senior or disabled people or for drivers with reduced mobility. The implementation of autoparking assistant systems may increase the safety of the parking, and therefore the development of such systems is a highly-demanded task. We introduce an intelligent autoparking system that automatically generates trajectory for parking using a fuzzy logic. This paper consists of three parts. In first part we introduce trajectory generation method for parallel parking without collisions. Fuzzy-logic based trajectory generation algorithm is described in second part. Experimental results presented in the third part of the paper prove effectiveness of the proposed method.

The increase in vehicle purchases worldwide is having a very significant impact on the availability of parking spaces. In particular, since it is difficult to secure a parking space in an urban area, it may be of great help to the driver to check vehicle parking information in advance. However, the current parking lot information is still operated semi-manually, such as notifications. Therefore, in this study, we propose a system for detecting a parking space using a relatively simple image processing method based on an image taken from the sky and evaluate its performance. The proposed method first converts the captured RGB image into a black-and-white binary image. This is to simplify the calculation for detection using discrete information. Next, a morphological operation is applied to increase the clarity of the binary image, and a template mask in the form of a bounding box indicating a parking space is applied to check the parking state. Twelve image samples and 2181 total of test, were used for the experiment, and a threshold of 40% was used to detect each parking space. The experimental results showed that information on the availability of parking spaces for parking users was provided with an accuracy of 95%. Although the number of experimental images is somewhat insufficient to address the generality of accuracy, it is possible to confirm the possibility of parking space detection with a simple image processing method.

본 논문에서는 가까운 미래에 접하게 될 무인 자율 주행 차량의 주차장에서의 주차 방법과 알고리즘에 대해 살펴보았다. 가장 가까운 주차 장소는 어디이며 어떤 경로를 통해 그 위치로 이동할 것인가 등이 자율주행 차량의 주차를 위한 정보일 것이다. 자율주행 차량의 주차에 적합한 주차장의 구조와 형태를 알아내는 것도 중요한 문제점이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 주차장을 그래프로 모델링한 후 중앙제어 시스템을 통해 각 자율주행 차량이 근접한 주차장소로 이동할 수 있도록 안내하는 초기 해결 방법을 제시한다. 몇 가지 구조의 주차장을 모델링한 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 초기 해결방법이 자율주행차량 주차에 효과적인 안내 시스템이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An autonomous valet parking (AVP) system is designed to locate a vacant parking space and park the vehicle in which it resides on behalf of the driver, once the driver has left the vehicle. In addition, the AVP is able to direct the vehicle to a location desired by the driver when requested. In this paper, for an AVP system, we introduce technology to recognize a parking space using image sensors. The proposed technology is mainly divided into three parts. First, spatial analysis is carried out using a height map that is based on dense motion stereo. Second, modelling of road markings is conducted using a probability map with a new salient-line feature extractor. Finally, parking space recognition is based on a Bayesian classifier. The experimental results show an execution time of up to 10 ms and a recognition rate of over 99%. Also, the performance and properties of the proposed technology were evaluated with a variety of data. Our algorithms, which are part of the proposed technology, are expected to apply to various research areas regarding autonomous vehicles, such as map generation, road marking recognition, localization, and environment recognition.

주차정보시스템은 주차 대기시간을 줄이고 운전자의 편의를 증진시킬 수 있지만, 다수의 검지기, 표출장치, 제어장치 등을 포함하는 특성에 기인하여 항구적인 전력을 소비하는 특징을 갖는다. 근래에 국내외에서 환경 친화적 그린 빌딩을 위한 저 전력 소비 형 주차정보시스템의 요구가 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상 빌딩의 주차장을 대상으로, 소비전력 저감을 특징으로 하는 주차정보시스템을 설계하였다. 본 설계를 위한 주차검지기로는 기 상용화된 배터리방식 주차 검지기인 무선루프식검지기와 지자기방식 검지기를 적용하고, 시스템 구성 및 통신 네트워크, 운전자 정보서비스 시나리오, 배터리 수명 평준화 등에 대한 설계를 진행하였다. 이어서, 설계된 주차정보시스템의 운영 소비전력을 추정하고 이를 종래의 일반적인 초음파방식 시스템의 동작 소비전력과 비교 하였다. 또한, 주기적 배터리 교체비용을 고려한 전력 유지비용을 환산하여 비교하였다. 7년의 배터리 교체주기를 기준으로 하였을 때, 설계된 시스템의 운영 소비전력은 기존 초음파센서 기반 시스템의 13% 수준으로, 전력 운영비용 환산 값은 기존시스템과 유사한 수준인 94.9%로 추정되었다. 본 연구의 시스템은 소비전력의 괄목할 만 한 경감에 따라, CO2발생의 저감을 기대할 수 있다.
