ParkEasy is an automated parking system which is based on the ANPR algorithm.
ParkEasy proposes an automated and reliable solution to the above-mentioned issue. This system takes away all the human interference in logging entries and offers a cost effective and smart solution for managing a completely un-manned parking lot. This approach is based on Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology which performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on images to read the license plates on vehicles. The license plate of a vehicle is first detected from a live video stream of a webcam. Then the license plate is recognized using the OCR algorithm to determine the alphanumeric characters on the plate. This license plate number is then stored in the database with the entry time of the vehicle. Customers are charged as per the parking time when the vehicle leaves the building. The payment is completely automated and convenient for the customer. This solution also offers an interactive and easy solution to the time-consuming traditional parking system that is, dynamic pricing. This system calculates the price for each customer in real time based on the time spent by their vehicle in the parking lot. The price amount is automatically deducted from the customers local e-wallet. Thus, the payment process is completely hassle free for the customer.
