Abstract Searching for the parking space is a time-consuming task while visiting
for shopping or unknown cities. Real-time parking management gets benefited for
the development of the smart city and also reduces time for finding the parking
place. In this chapter, different two types of modules for car parking are simulated
using a combination of Hough transform, edge detection, and color enhancement
method. Different car parking modules are circular shape-based: (i) parallel parking
with a different radius and (ii) angle parking with the same radius. Real-time video
is captured using an android smartphone with an IP camera. The proposed research
work can enhance the solution for real-time parking solution in big malls and theater.
Limitation and future scope of this will give motivation toward research work on an
intelligent transportation system (ITS) development in India. For small-scale version
here, we have used toy cars and bus with a different color for parking modules.
1 Introduction
Due to increase in population of the world numbers of vehicles on the roads are
increasing day by day. One of the major challenges in the cities is to manage the
parking of vehicles. Reports suggest that as much as 30% of traffic flow delays and
restrictions are due to drivers in search of parking. Smart parking is a vehicle parking
