ABSTRACT
Several factors cause people forget things. They are retrieval failure, interference failure to store and
motivated forgetting. So, it is considered to have tools in order to prevent those. This happens almost
everywhere, including when the drivers forgot where their car has been parked. Furthermore, the
increase of parking fee is also considerable. The purpose of this research is to design a prototype system
for mobile web as one of the helpful tools for car parking location reminder using Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology that implemented at the parking building. The research is conducted by
direct observation of the current system, do a comparison of similar applications, design the architecture of
the system, make the programs, create a mock-up and mobile web as a prototype. The result of this research
is a prototype of parking location reminder using RFID-based on mobile web. The mobile web displays
information menu such as the location and the parking information. Based on the research, it is
concluded that the mobile web can be used as one of solutions for parking location reminder and
allows users to view information such as the parking duration and the parking fee estimation.

1. INTRODUCTION
According to Loftus (2012), one of the world’s
most renowned experts on human memory, humans
have four major reasons why forgetting occurs. Those
four factors that cause people often to forget are the
retrieval failure/decay theory (disability to remember
something because the trace of memory about that
thing has been removed), interference: proactive and
retroactive (disruption against the thing that will be
remembered), failure to store (a thing that will be
remembered again but has never been stored in
memory) and motivated forgetting (cannot remember
something because the brain is deliberately omitted
from the memory due to factors such as trauma).
Based on the data from Kompas Media (2011) that is
adopted from Jakarta Transportation Agency, it is stated
that the number of vehicles is increasing each year.
Based on Jakarta Governor Regulation
120/2012/September 18
th
, 2012, the car-parking fee
increases to Rp. 3.000,00 up to Rp 5.000,00 for one
hour and Rp. 2.000,00 up to Rp 4.000,00 for the next
one hour (Table 1). The data shows us that the time is
being very valuable right now.
Currently, the existing parking system in
Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, only serves to record
the entry and exit of motor vehicles, especially cars.
Based on the existing system at the moment, it needs
a better system development in order to allow cars
user to simply find the parking location and access
parking information rapidly.
