A real-time parking
management system (100) comprising: a plurality of RFID tags (1) each assigned to a vehicle, wherein the RFID tags (1) are configured to store a unique vehicle identifier; a plurality of RFID readers (2) positioned at the entry and exit points of a parking facility, wherein the RFID readers (2) are configured to detect the RFID tags (1) and read the vehicle identifier; a plurality of visual sensors (3) positioned at parking spaces, entry and exit points, configured to capture images or video feeds to verify vehicle occupancy, detect unauthorized parking, and assist with
license plate recognition;a
machine learning module (4) configured to analyze historical parking data to predict peak parking times, optimize
parking space allocation based on
vehicle type, size, and user preferences, and enhance security by detecting suspicious activity based on visual sensor data; a central
server (5) configured to receive
vehicle identification from the RFID readers (2), process input from the visual sensors (3), confirm vehicle presence, access a
database to retrieve and store vehicle information, dynamically allocate parking spaces based on availability, vehicle classification, and user preferences, track parking duration for each vehicle, and control entry and exit gates based on verified credentials and security policies;and a
user interface unit (6) configured to allow users to reserve parking spaces, display
parking space availability in real time, facilitate
payment of parking fees using integrated
payment gateways, provide step-by-step navigation support to assigned parking spaces, and inform users about parking status, entry confirmations, and security alerts.
