Abstract and objective

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop an automated parking system by using RFID  (Radio Frequencies identification) modules. The system will function when an IR sensor detects a vehicle and a signal is transmitted to micro-controller PIC 16F877A. Subsequently, the microprocessor will transmit the data through rs232 9pin cable for monitoring database by PC . Hence, this project will show a monitoring system any transaction vehicle go in and out in parking system.

Objectives

1.      To monitoring a vehicle comes In and out during a parking system

2.      To allow only registered vehicle entering the parking area

3.      To replace the manual ticketing or auto pay vehicle parking system

4.      To learn about RFID modules function on parking system

compare with other RFID parking system

we can see nowadays, RFID is was using as  parking systems.example "touch n go" (contactless smart card), but "touch n go" is commonly use or public user. hence for any company need a privacy or authorized ,then it need his own RFID parking vehicle system so then unauthorized people cant enter the parking.

The debate between RFID and smart cards technology is an ongoing one. There is no clear definition that describes RFID and smart cards, and at times these two terms are used interchangeably, due to lack of awareness, resulting in confusion between the differences.

Confusion is especially strong between contactless smart cards and RFID. The key issue that has given rise to this debate is the contact less interface and that too an RF (radio frequency) one. Both contactless smart cards and RFID use radio frequencies for communicating between the card and reader. The applications for which RF is used can be different for RFID and smartcards. RFID is mainly meant for applications within the supply chain, for track and trace. Contactless smart cards on the other hand are mainly meant for payments/banking, mass transit, government and ID, and access control. This article aims at clearing the confusion between the two technology definitions.
The following chart depicts the various applications of contact less smart cards and RFID, along with their level of information security.

RFID and smart cards both can be used in transit applications and most of the time they are used together to provide increased convenience to end users. An example of this would be the "Touch n go" cards in Malaysia used on toll ways. The Touch n Go card is a contactless smart card, but this card can be purchased with an additional RFID transponder (where the smart card will be inserted) so that the toll booth reader can read the cards from a greater distance than the 10cm limit restricted by smart card standards. Without the additional RFID transponder, the contactless Touch n Go smart cards can still be used, which means that the driver need to screen down their windshield to tap the card on the reader, instead of just driving through while the RFID transponder will be detected by the reader above the toll booths at a greater distance.

Advantages of RFID-based parking system

RFID allows the wireless storage and automatic retrieval of data. It provides a significant improvement over not only conventional identification, tracking, and stocking of Objects, but over the barcode system as well. RFID is expected to help boost supply chain Efficiency, improve security, cut down on theft and counterfeiting, increase asset visibility, enhance inventory control, automate stock replenishment, etc. By the use of RFID technology, manually achieved workloads will be decreased considerably. RFID technology is universal, useful and efficient RFID technology increases company efficiency and provides advantages on both company and client-wise. RFID technology is much more Secure (if cryptographic modules are involved) compared to other networks. RFID labels play an important role as an inventory tracking technology. RFID is becoming an important identification technology in applications such as inventory management, security access, personnel identification, factory automation, automotive toll debiting, and vehicle identification to name just a few.
