Research Thesis on Vehicle Parking Management System

With the rapid increase in the number of vehicles, urban areas across the world face severe challenges in managing parking spaces efficiently. Traditional parking systems often lead to congestion, wastage of time, and increased pollution due to vehicles idling while searching for parking. This research focuses on the design and development of a Vehicle Parking Management System (VPMS) that leverages computer science concepts and emerging technologies to optimize parking allocation, improve user convenience, and enhance overall efficiency. The proposed system integrates hardware sensors, web-based software interfaces, and a centralized database to provide real-time information about parking availability. The system aims to automate the process of vehicle entry, slot detection, and payment through a user-friendly interface. The study also explores algorithms for dynamic slot allocation, database management, and user authentication. Experimental results demonstrate that the VPMS can significantly reduce parking search time, congestion, and human intervention, promoting a smarter and more sustainable urban infrastructure.
