Nesnelerin İnterneti Tabanlı Akıllı Otopark Sistem Tasarımı ve Uygulaması (IoTSpS)

Abstract

Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) tabanlı Akıllı Park Sistemi, büyük şehirlerde ve yoğun bölgelerde park süreçlerinin daha verimli hale getirilmesini ve iyileştirilmesini hedeflemektedir. Sürücülere uygun park alanlarını hızlı bir şekilde bulma imkânı sunarak hem zaman tasarrufu sağlamakta hem de trafik yoğunluğunu azaltmaya katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, sistem park alanlarının etkin kullanımını teşvik ederek kentsel yönetimin optimizasyonuna olanak tanımaktadır. Kullanıcılar için özel olarak geliştirilen IoT destekli mobil uygulama, boş park alanlarının tespit edilmesini hızlandırarak arama sürelerini en aza indirirken kullanım kolaylığı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, kentsel park sorunlarını çözmeyi ve sürdürülebilir ulaşım sistemlerini teşvik etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, IoT tabanlı Akıllı Park Sistemi, sürücüler için günlük yaşamı kolaylaştırırken kentsel trafik yönetimi ve çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin geliştirilmesi açısından önemli bir adım olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, donanım, gömülü yazılım ve mobil uygulamanın entegre edildiği bir prototip geliştirilmiştir. Park alanı tespiti için IR sensörleri kullanılmış, giriş ve çıkış bariyerlerinin kontrolü için servo motorlar entegre edilmiştir. Donanım kontrolü, Arduino Mega ile sağlanırken, Wi-Fi modülüne sahip NodeMCU kullanılarak Firebase ile veri iletişimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Mobil uygulama, kullanıcı kimlik doğrulaması ve park yeri yönetimi işlevlerini içerecek şekilde Flutter ile geliştirilmiştir. Uygulama, park yeri uygunluk durumunu ve rezervasyon işlemlerini yönetmekte olup, kullanım süresine bağlı olarak ücretlendirme işlemleri mobil uygulama üzerinden gerçekleştirilebilmektedir. Ayrıca, sistemin işleyişini değerlendirmek amacıyla farklı senaryolar geliştirilmiş, bu senaryolar aracılığıyla hem prototipin hem de mobil uygulamanın işlevselliği başarıyla test edilmiştir.

Internet of Things Driven Smart Parking System Design and Implementation (IoTSpS)

Abstract

The IoT-driven Smart Parking System is designed to enhance the efficiency of parking operations in metropolitan areas and high-traffic zones. By enabling drivers to swiftly identify available parking spaces, the system not only saves time but also alleviates traffic congestion. Furthermore, it promotes the optimal utilization of parking infrastructure, contributing to improved urban management. A dedicated IoT-integrated mobile application streamlines the process of locating vacant parking spots, thereby reducing search durations and enhancing user convenience. This initiative aims to mitigate urban parking challenges while fostering the development of sustainable transportation solutions. Within the scope of this study, a prototype system was developed, integrating hardware, embedded software, and a mobile application. Infrared (IR) sensors were employed for detecting parking space occupancy, while servo motors facilitated barrier control at entry and exit points. Arduino Mega served as the primary hardware controller, whereas NodeMCU, equipped with a Wi-Fi module, was utilized for data transmission via Firebase. The mobile application, developed using Flutter, provides functionalities such as user authentication, parking space monitoring, and reservation management. Additionally, the system allows for automated fee calculation based on usage duration, enabling payments through the application. To validate the system’s performance, various operational scenarios were tested, successfully demonstrating the functionality of both the prototype and the mobile application.
