Mangaluru, Jun 24: Student of Srinivas Institute of Technology (SIT) have worked on a project which will help in effective parking management in the city.

On a daily basis the parking of a vehicle in a parking lot is done by the driver implementing his or her driving skills and upto some extend guidance by an external person as on where to park the vehicle which is a real challenge to the driver. The guiding person may be well versed in guiding but a miss judgement can cause a miss-parking of vehicle.

In some situations a vehicle might be parked at certain place the there is no room for other vehicles to even to remove from the parked entry. This can cause block of space and waste of time. This can lead to an argument between the drivers or the vehicle owner. In a smart city intelligent transportation system (ITS) plays an important role in finding parking places specifically for car owners to avoid time computation.

This project includes the concept of openCV and matlab application that would help gain knowledge to execute the ideas of hardware modelling using Circle Hough Transformation.

A low cost setup that would automate the working of a parking lot system and lowing the consumption of fuel and time. Further adding an enhancement to the malls available in and around Mangaluru. Deployment of the system at the shopping malls like city centre, big bazaar and fiza forum mall makes them an enthusiastic client of the project.

Akash Acharya, Aneesh Rao H S, Prathviraj P Shetty, Shreevasa Tantry and assistant professor Krishnaraj Rao were part of the project.
