Abstract
Background/Objectives: In today’s world there is a rapid increment in vehicle movement and to resolve the vehicle
parking problem, there is a need to employ technology. Methods/Findings: We introduce a RFID based technique; using
this RFID technique we can able to resolve the parking problem without considering the manpower. In this RFID, technique
we use LCD display, sensors and GSM Modem. Application: In this approach. SMS service plays a major role. By using RFID
tags, we able to identify the vehicle having a slot in parking lot or not.

Keywords: Detector, LCD Display, RFID Tags, Unauthorized Parking

GSM Modem: The GSM modem is used for the trans-

fer of SMS’s for unauthorized parking. It has a SIM card
and operates like a cell phone. When a GSM modem is
connected to a laptop, this lets in the pc to use the GSM
modem to talk over the mobile community.
Servo Motor: The servo motor is used for controlling
the parking gate.
Infrared Sensor Module: The IR Sensors helps to
detect the presence of the vehicle in the parking lots. Figure 2. Top View of Proposed Model.
