Design Of Reserve Vehicle Lookup System For Large Parking Lots

With increasing economic and technological strength of our country, the number of private vehicle is increasing year by year. However, sharply rising number of private vehicles also have brought the "parking" problem. Obviously, we can’t solve this problem if we only increase number of parking spaces. As a result, how to improve parking lots management system and how to increase the using efficiency of parking spaces become the key to solve the "parking" problem. To solve this problem, this paper designs a new type of reserve vehicle lookup system for large parking lots, the main contents of this paper are as follows:First of all, according to the latest research focus in domestic and foreign countries, this paper designs a new type of reserve vehicle lookup system for large parking lots. The system includes not only management of entrance(exit) and charging functions, but also guidance and reverse vehicle lookup functions. It will be more convenient and efficient for users with the system.Moreover, the processes to realize functions of choosing parking spaces by drivers’ will and reverse vehicle lookup are as follows. There is a touch screen to show conditions of all parking spaces at the entrance of parking lots. Drivers can choose parking space which opens up in touch screen. Then based on Dijkstra algorithm, the screen displays a shortest path from entrance to parking space to drivers. With fairly sophisticated reverse vehicle lookup function, drivers can find location of their vehicles by using exact queries and fuzzy queries. Then following the shortest path, they can find their vehicles with less time.Finally, taking a parking lot with one entrance and two exits for example, this paper designs software for the system by using Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft SQL Sever and C# language. This software includes reverse vehicle lookup module, guided module, charging module and so on. Coordinating with the relevant hardware in lab, all functional tests of the reserve vehicle lookup system for large parking lots are successful.
