Lush: Smart Parking Reservation and Management Application

Abstract

The background for this study became the difficulties faced by Sri Lankans in finding a safe and a convenient parking slot. It is obvious that the manual parking systems contain a lot of drawbacks. As a solution a mobile application will be developed for both parking seekers and the parking providers. Parking seekers can register to the app and book a slot. The payment facilities will be provided through the mobile application and customers can chat with the parking providers at any time. System will identify the vehicle category and navigate it to the relevant vehicle type terminal. As well as after parking the vehicle if there is any kind of threat to the vehicles will be detected by the system. If the vehicle owner parks his vehicle at the wrong terminal or if there are any threats happening to the vehicle, the system will send a notification to the vehicle owner and to the security officers. This notification will be sent after detecting the vehicle number plate and getting the owner details from database relevant to the vehicle plate number. Parking providers can digitally and dynamically manipulate the parking area according to their preference through this system. As a conclusion system will facilitate parking seekers by providing user friendly, safe, well-managed and convenient parking facilities on behalf of the parking providers.
