Abstract: The purpose of this study is to design an Android based application for Realtime Monitoring of the parking lots of Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite; this study is beneficial to the LPU Cavite, car owners, parking lot staffs and future researchers. The study would serve as a pattern and guide for future researchers who want to develop a real time monitoring application. The researchers developed an Android application that provides real time parking availability to help reduce the inconvenience parking occupants’ experiences in Lyceum of the Philippines University –Cavite. Keywords: LPU-Cavite, resort Campus, Real-time, Internet, parking, android application.
I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines is currently struggling with different issues. The most common problem that Filipinos wanted to be solved is about the traffic and parking. The former is something the government has been dealing with for a long time while the latter still need to be addressed. As a developing country, the Philippines need to have a better parking system immediately in order to lessen the traffic that may be caused by looking for a parking space. As the years go by, many Filipinos want to have their own car so that the travelling process will be easy. Little they know that having more cars causes more traffic. Finding an available space to park one’s car is a major problem especially to those areas that are already well developed. Some establishments have a little parking lot that the car owners need to park somewhere else. In a transportation system, parking is an essential element. If a driver arrives to a desired destination, parking is a necessity. An ordinary car is usually parked for 23 hours per day and occupies several parking spaces every week. [1]One of the main types of land use is a parking facility; their design and location have an influence on the type of development that is taking place as well as on how they view the building or use the road. Parking is usually the first and last engagement that people have with a destination, and therefore has a major impact on their experience. A real-time monitoring Android application is a system and a tool that will assist the end-user that will let them recognize the exact location of the available slot by accessing the application. A pre-survey was conducted on the parking of LPU –Cavite in which the results showed that 75% of the parking occupants use mobile android phones, 21% is IOS phone users and the 4% uses both. It is proven that the Android users are higher compared to IOS users. This tool helps a lot in saving time looking for parking spaces because the users will be given real time information on the specific parking lot.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW [2]Machine vision systems have less expenditure and resistance to the environment conditions. It makes it very suitable for open parking lots. For closed parking lots, magnetometers or sensors are commonly used. Real time parking system provides information that will distribute the shortest route for free parking slots. Finding an open parking space is frustrating, a waste of time and gas just going to shopping, school, and workplace. Parking management and monitoring
