An automated parking access control system based on RFID technology

The existing parking management systems needs human efforts for controlling access and recording in excel sheets or on-paper which can be more difficult in an enormous parking and leads to many parking errors such as access by unauthorized users, public security, fraud to pay parking fees, etc ... With Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology, a smart parking can be set up in order to alleviate the parking problems. Vehicles cannot access parking area without RFID tag as identification and the check-in/ check-out can be done very quickly. Users will not have to wait for the identification of their vehicles as it will be done automatically by the tags that are attached to them. This will also ensure security as only the registered vehicles are allowed to access into parking lot. In this paper, we present an automated parking access control system which is developed using RFID technology combinated with NodeMCu V3 board.
