In particular, people used to drive cars for leisure activities during holidays, it becomes even harder to find a parking space. In order to make effective use of the urban space, parking lots are built above ground or underground. However, even with the increased number of parking spaces, drivers are still facing dilemma of finding where to park her car or was her car parked because that it is easy to loose direction or forget the floor number of the parking space.
At present, various parking guidance systems have been deployed in Taiwan, but most of them still cannot effectively guide drivers to the right parking space. In this thesis, we propose a novel intelligent parking lot navigation system to guide the driver to park to the right space as well as find where she has parked her car. The system deploys ultrasound sensors on driving lanes as well as each parking space. Data from these ultrasound sensors are transmitted to the application server. With the collected sensing data, the application on the driver’s smart phone will use Bluetooth positioning technology to guide the driver to the designed parking space or the space where she has parked her car. Compared with other systems, the system can guide the driver to find a parking space more quickly in the case of congestion in a parking garage.
