Adaptive Smart Car Park System (ASCaPS) Utilising CCTV Nodes and Mobile Technology

摘要

Given the boom in the number of cars in Mauritius and worldwide, car parks are becoming increasingly in demand. Timely allocation and monitoring of car park is important for the proper management. The main aim of our implementation is to amalgamate two existing technologies readily available, namely CCTV cameras and Smart Phones, to build a system, that using Computer Vision detection will be able to identify free and occupied slots, and then store this information in a cloud database, to be retrieved by a mobile app for real-time communication. Secondly, we have devised a procedure through our system, that can be trained and be adapted for any car park. We evaluated our system by comparing it to existing ones based on features and performance.
