Smart Parking System (SPS): A Cyber-Physical Model for Intelligent Urban Mobility
Description
The Smart Parking System (SPS) is an automated, secure, and scalable access control solution designed to combat urban traffic congestion caused by inefficient parking. Utilizing RFID technology for user authentication and IR sensors for vehicle detection, the system automates the entry process to parking facilities. It eliminates manual checks, reduces vehicle idle time, and lays the foundational architecture for a networked, data-driven urban transport management system, directly supporting Uganda's goals for sustainable urbanization and digital transformation.
Impact
Economic: Reduces fuel consumption and vehicle wear-and-tear for drivers. Lowers operational costs for parking facility owners through automation. Creates new business models for paid, automated parking. Social: Alleviates driver frustration and stress, contributing to improved urban well-being. Frees up time lost in traffic for more productive activities. Enhances security through automated, logged access control. Environmental: By reducing the time cars spend idling and circling for parking, the system directly contributes to lower urban carbon emissions and improved air quality.
Target Audience
Municipal Governments and Urban Planners, Commercial Property Developers (Shopping Malls, Offices), Universities and Corporate Campuses, Logistics and Fleet Management Companies, The general driving public in congested urban areas like Kampala.
