utilizing FASTag technology integrated with Orion RFID tags and ultrasonic sensors to streamline vehicle entry, parking duration monitoring, and payment processing. The system captures the FASTag UID from both entry and exit points using Orion RFID tags. Ultrasonic sensors monitor vehicle presence within the parking slot, enabling real-time detection of entry and exit times. A microcontroller stores these timestamps and calculates the duration of parking using a timediff algorithm. Upon exit, the microcontroller verifies the FASTag UID at both entry and exit points. It processes the corresponding payment by transmitting the calculated parking fee to the vehicle owner’s bank account linked to the FASTag system. The system ensures a seamless and automated transaction, with payment confirmation sent via standard bank notification methods. This project enhances parking efficiency, reduces human intervention, and facilitates secure, automated transactions.
1.1 Integration of FASTag and RFID Technology FASTag technology combined with Orion RFID tags allows for efficient, automated vehicle identification and entry. As vehicles approach the parking area, the RFID system automatically scans the FASTag UID, eliminating manual processes and reducing wait times. This not only minimizes human error but also streamlines traffic flow at parking entrances. The system’s ability to capture the tag from a distance enables smooth entry, improving overall user convenience and operational efficiency.
1.2 Automated Payment and Duration Tracking Ultrasonic sensors are used to accurately monitor the presence of a vehicle in the parking lot. These sensors detect the vehicle's entry and exit, allowing the system to calculate the total parking time. Upon exiting, the system automatically debits the parking fee from the linked FASTag account. This fully automated process ensures secure transactions and eliminates the need for manual payments, enhancing convenience for drivers while improving overall parking management.

1. INTRODUCTION Automating parking management systems has become essential in modern urban environments to enhance efficiency and reduce manual intervention. Utilizing FASTag technology integrated with Orion RFID tags and ultrasonic sensors, this project presents a streamlined solution for capturing vehicle information, monitoring parking duration, and processing payments. At the entrance of the parking area, Orion RFID tags scan and capture the FASTag UID, storing it in a microcontroller. Once the vehicle reaches the parking slot, ultrasonic sensors detect the vehicle’s presence and trigger a timestamp to capture the entry time. Similarly, when the vehicle exits the slot, the system detects the change, records the exit time with another timestamp, and stores both times in the microcontroller. The parking duration is then calculated using a timediff algorithm. Upon exiting, the FASTag UID is verified at the exit point, and the system processes the payment by sending the calculated amount to the linked bank account. This approach ensures efficient
