ABSTRACT

Vehicle parking control is an important action for students who are driving a car to

enter campus. Usually, most of the campus parking lot is always limit for a specific

number of students to allow them to park their car insides the campus that is because

of the limited parking lot on campus. Also, for those students who are able to park their

car insides campus will be issued a car sticker to clarify they have right to park their

car on campus. However, it will create some problems which are related to illegal or

fake car sticker. In this proposal will present how efficient of the parking and vehicle

control application on campus to enable security guards to check a car sticker either

legal or illegal in a shortest ways and to solve the problem about cannot get the parking

place for student or staff to park their car, even though with a legal car sticker to enter

campus. Also, this proposal will introducing a new car zoning approaches which will

control the parking issues in campus. In UTAR campus, an observation had been

conducted to notice that there are many students had encountered parking issues in the

campus.

The each step of methodology that had been use to complete this project are define the

problem, gather the necessary information, design and develop an application, coding

out all the functionalities, evaluate and testing the system, deliver to user used and

followed by update the problem countered by the user.

Chapter 1: Introduction


Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (Perak Campus), UTAR. 1

Chapter 1: Project background

1.1 Introduction

In every campus, the rules and regulation have been designed to control the traffic

movement and parking for students and staff utilizing the parking lots, roads and ways

at the campus. (Services, 2016) Therefore, the campus hired a numbers of staff or

security guard to in charge the parking and vehicle control on campus. However, the

security guards may not complete their work in a short time due to most of the work

are perform manually rather than automatically.

Furthermore, the purpose of parking and vehicle control purpose is to protect all

people safety on the campus. Most of the campus will introduce a way to determine

who have the right to enter campus which is using a car sticker method to determine

either a car driver is a student of the campus or outsiders. Also, those cars without car

sticker also possible to enter campus but required to fill in a form and get a temporary

pass to enter campus. Furthermore, the car sticker will be provided by the campus

through a different type of procedures based on their University rules and regulat ion.

Therefore, the security guard or staff have the responsible to checking through each

vehicle before allow them to enter campus.

In a campus, security guards will allow those car with a campus vehicles sticker

to enter campus. However, there are possible for outsiders to get a fake vehicles sticker

to enter the campus where the designed are same as campus car sticker. Since the

security guard allows the vehicle to enter campus is based on car sticker, therefore it

might mistakenly allow a car with illegal car sticker to enter campus. By considering

the safe purpose, the security guard needs to conduct a spot check of car sticker

operation on the campus. This will be time consuming and less efficient for a security

guard or staff to check through each cars insides a campus one by one and make a

comparison to a book which had been recorded those legal car sticker number with a

car plate number.

Since the advancement of technology, there is few campus starting to introduce a

parking and vehicle control application which is controlling parking problem on

campus to reduce the workload of a security guard or staff. By using parking and vehicle

control application on campus that allows staff or security guard to directly check a car




plate number and the application will determine the result either is legal or illegal for

security guard. Also, if a student or visitor simply park their car on campus, they can

directly use the application to retrieve the car owner details in order to inform them to

move their car away or penalty them.

Besides that, some of the parking and vehicle control application also work with

student or visitor by allowing them to report the car with the car plate number and the

location to security guards who are blocked their road traffic on the campus. Therefore,

the security guard will directly receive the notification and do some action on the people.

Also, the students are able to directly use the parking and vehicle control application to

inform the security guard or staff where they had faced a problem of parking on the

campus.

Lastly, the main problem of using the mobile phone is the small screen size so that

the purposed system will introduce a web application for the administrator to analyze

the data through the web application instead on the mobile phone.

1.2 Problem statement

The first problem for those students who had a valid car sticker to park their car on

campus is the student are required to spend some time to find out an available parking

space to park their car in a parking zone before attending any classes. Furthermore,

UTAR Kampar campus parking space is always no enough for students to park their

car that is due to lack of parking space. Besides that, UTAR Kampar campus parking

zone are quite far from each other, where a student may require spending extra few

minutes from one parking zone to another parking zone in order for a student to get

available parking space to park their car. Therefore, it might cause those students late

to attend their classes or examination due to car parking problem.

Moreover, the second problem is the parking place on the campus are not fully

utilized which means that some parking zone contains many available spaces but some

parking zone is always full. As a result, some students will always cannot get the

parking place where nearby their classrooms. Also, the reasons that a student to

purchase a car sticker to enter campus is because they want to reduce their time on

walking. But, sometimes they need to park their car far from their classrooms which

might not solve the problems in walking. Therefore, some of the student will feel that

is unfair for them to purchase a car sticker but still require to spend much time on

walking.




Besides that, UTAR campus will always face the problem which is related to people

using illegal car sticker to enter the campus. Therefore, the security guard will do their

tasks which are checking a car sticker either legal or illegal. In UTAR Kampar campus,

when a security guard or staff performing the car sticker spot check task they are

required to bring a book that had been recorded those details related to vehicle car

sticker number and assigned car plate number for checking purpose. Furthermore,

sometimes security guard also will use the walkie-talkie to request another staff to helps

them determine a car are using legal or fake car sticker on campus. However, there will

be very time consuming for the security guard or staff to check a car sticker manua lly

due to a lot of students park their car on campus.

Also, the another problem will occur is when a visitor wants to enter the campus

but the visitor is required to manually fill in many details such as date, time, car plate

number and phone number then the security guard will issue a pass to the visitor before

the visitor has the right to enter the campus, therefore visitor might feel the campus are

troubling them or something else. Besides that, while the visitor is filling the require

details, his or her car may block those other cars behind who are also want to enter the

campus as well due to one road lane are allow for use.

Lastly, the last problem faced by the student is almost every campus who

implemented the barriers gate in the parking zone, they will fully relies on the RFID

and access cards to control the traffic in the campus. Therefore, those campus who only

relies on one approaches there will be very inconvenient for those person who want to

enter the campus. For example, a student who realized him/hers has forgot bring their

access cards after reached the campus, then the student need to return back their hostel

or house to get the access card again which are very inconvenient.

1.3 Project scope

In this project is design a parking and vehicle control mobile application for the

security guard or staff and students to reduce their car parking problems that will be

faced in UTAR campus. Also, the mobile application will focus on the security guards,

students and admin due to consideration of privilege to access different module. The

few functionalities provide in the mobile application are enable students to register car

sticker and report the problem they had faced on campus. Also, the student are enable

to keep track their parking zone space either there have space or not. Besides that, the

mobile application also provides the function to allow the security guard to check a car




plate through QR code in order to determine whether the car sticker is legal or illega l

which will determine directly after scanned the QR code. Moreover, there have

provided a functionalities which provide security guard to register the visitor by either

through the scanning IC features and input manually. Also, some of the input in the

visitor registration will be automated such as date and time in order to shorten the time

during visitor registration. Furthermore, there will be introduced a web application for

the admin to control and view the traffic on the campus. In the web application, it allow

the admin to create and delete a registration period for the student to register their

sticker and the exact time and time where the ballot result will be generate. Not only

that, the admin are allow the create, update and view the security guards account where

some of the guards will be change their jobs after some of the period. Lastly, there will

be many different set of report for user either in graph form or text based. The admin

are allowed to analyze the information based on the report given. For example, an

admin want to view a yearly report of the traffic on the campus or find out the reason

why there are many student are unsuccessful to pass the security guards spot check

action which can be view in graph or text based.

The following are the programming language used in developing the mobile application:

- JAVA

- XML

- PHP

- SQL

- JQuery

- HTML

- CSS

The following are the module going to include in the Mobile Application:

Vehicle sticker checking module

This module will be only allowed for a security guard or staff to conducting their

car sticker spot check operation. The Security guard can direct scan the QR code in the

vehicle sticker or enter manually in the car plate number field and then the application

will determine a result of the car sticker either is illegal or legal. If the result are

unsuccessful, the security guards need to specific the categories of the reason which

can be selected through a mobile application mobile activity in order for the admin to

view the report in later.




Visitor registration module

This module will enable the security guard or staff to register the details of a visitor

in a shortened time. The module will automate some static data such as date and time

which no need to enter manually by the user. Also, there will provide an IC scanner

function for the security guards to register the visitor in faster ways.

Request for help module

To enables a student or visitor to directly notify security guards or staff when they

faced any problem on the campus where are required seek for help on the campus.

Besides that, if there have an accident in the campus they can directly notify the security

guards through the application. This module can help the student who want to save their

phone credit.

Register vehicle sticker module

This car sticker registration module is to provide a form for the student to register

their personal details and their vehicle details. Besides that, those registered details will

be stored on web-based in order for an admin to determine car sticker ballot result which

is either successful or unsuccessful. After the student register the car sticker, it is

required to generate the result by using the generate car sticker ballot result function.

The admin need to set a specific date and time that will generate the result of the car

sticker ballot and then the application will send a notification to inform the student

whether are in successful or unsuccessful ballot. Also, it allow the admin to view all the

students who get the successful ballot result in a particular trimester. Lastly, the

registration vehicle details will be stored on the database when the student is register.

On the next trimester, the student are not required to re-enter the vehicle details again

unless there has updated on their vehicle details.

Check in module

This module is a new features and alternative ways for a students to use NFC

scanner of the mobile device to enter the parking zones instead of restricted the student

to use RFID method only. The main purpose of this module is to support the new

proposed car zoning approaches in campus by restricting the student to park their car

in assigned zone only. By using check in module, it can allow the student to view the

current parking place leave before they visit the parking place Also, when using the

NFC scan function inside the check in module, it will determine either the user are the

person who is login or not based on the serial number enter by the student. If the student




who had lost their device, they must reset their phone serial number through the web

application due to the security concerns.

The following are the module going to include in the Web Application:

Vehicle registration period

This module are provided only for the admin to register a new trimester registrat ion

period for the student to register their vehicle details through the mobile application.

Firstly, the admin need to specific the number of parking place that want to reserve for

each parking zone including the motor and the car. After that, the admin need to specific

the exactly start date and end date which is allowed for the student to register and update

their vehicle details on a new trimester. After the end date is past, the student will not

able to register after that, all of the student will get the ballot result after the result

released date which is specified by the admin.

Manage security guards.

The admin can create a new account for a security guards for them to use the mobile

application to perform their job on the campus. Besides that, the admin also allow to

update the security guards account details and delete those unused security guards

account. For example, the admin can help the guard to update their contact number or

delete the security guard account when they are leaved the campus.

Report

The admin are allowed to view the report either in graph or text based. There are

many different type of report for the admin to view such as the campus traffic report,

ballot result report, guards spot check report, view the parking place of each zone and

registered visitor. Also, each type of the report will provide a filtering option and paging

to reduce the record view of the data. Besides that, the web application also enable the

admin to analyse which problem that have most percentages during the security guards

spot check. Not only that, there are a graph to show for the admin the ballot result on

each trimester such as the number of successful and unsuccessful student .

Authentication

The web application is not only providing a login pages for user, but the web

application will determine the type of user login and allowed for the student and

security guard to update their serial number when they had lost their device in the future.

The mobile application NFC module only will work with the serial number of the phone

which had been entered by the owner of the account.




1.4 Objective

There are three objective in this project.

1. To design a car zoning approaches

To reduce the problem of some parking zone are empty but some parking is full

through a balloting procedures. The mobile application will provide a good approaches

function for admin to determine which student should be chosen to get a legal car sticker

based on several criteria. The main criteria should be focus on are the parking place of

each zone, the different block of UTAR campus always for different faculty students.

For example, majority of business students (FBF) classes are in block B and majority

of FICT students are in block L and block N, FAS students in block D and FEGT student

in block E. Other than that, for those parking zone not related to the faculty will be

considered as a parking zone. The approaches for a student to get a successful ballot is

based on the student faculty and the number of parking space available on that faculty

zone. Also, the student are allow to use the function to check their parking zone have

parking space or not. Besides that, the admin are allow to enter the parking space that

are required to reserve for the staff and visitor. Lastly, the implementation of barriers

gate is to provide the ability for the application to keep track the parking place availab le

for use.

2. To develop a vehicle control for security guards system.

By using the application, many security guard work can be automated such as

directly get the details of the car sticker owner by providing the car plate within few

seconds rather than searching the car owner details manually. For example, design a

QR code for each vehicle sticker which will contain the information of the car plate.

Besides that, there will increase the work performance of the security guard or staff due

to the faster response of the application. Also, the application will provide flexible ways

for the security guard or staff to enter the car plate number such as voice detection, scan

car plate number and enter manually. Besides that, the visitor registration form can

convert to digital form where the security guard only required to enter few important

information such as phone number, car plate number, name and IC.

3. To design an alternative ways to let user access their parking zone

To introduce a barriers gate method on each parking zone where each of the faculty

parking zone will be implemented a barriers gate to authenticate the student who is

entered the campus. Besides that, the barriers gate device reader can retrieve the mobile




phone NFC hardware to scan instead of relying on one ways which is the RFID and the

access cards. By implementing this ways, the NFC will authenticate the user account

with the preset mobile phone serial number before allow the student enter the parking

zone. Not only that, the student also can track the available parking place easily due to

the traffic had been control and monitor.

1.5 Impact, significance and contribution

By using this mobile application it will reduce the workload of security guards. For

example, the application providing a QR code scanner for security guards to easily

retrieve the information about the vehicle. Besides that, it also allows the security guard

to register the visitor information in the shortest time due to digital form can be

automate some of the information like time and date.

Furthermore, many student are arguing the problem where required to spend a lot

of time in searching a parking zone where near their faculty even though will a valid

car sticker. Therefore the application will solve the problem of parking place through a

approaches that different faculty students will have a different probability to get a

campus car sticker in order to reduce the problem of a parking zone are not fully utilized

on the campus. By changing the procedures to get a successful ballot result of car sticker,

it will help a student to save a lot of time on finding a parking place in different zone

due to a campus parking zone is always far from another parking zone. Besides that,

the student can directly view the parking zone report about the parking zone to know

whether there are space or not.

Besides that, the mobile application are able to reduce the rate of making mistake

during the visitor registration or spot check operation for a security guards. Not only

that, the application also will provide a new module for all user which is related to

reporting the student parking problem on campus where the students are required to fill

in only few information such as the current zoning that faced the problem.

Lastly, the project can be implemented in very efficiently, due to many of the jobs

about the parking problem can be reduce by using the application. The application will

benefits the student, staff, security guards and admin. The student and staff can get the

parking place easily on the campus. Besides that, the security guards can reduce their

workload by automating most of the operation. Also, the admin are easier to manage

the balloting result by setting the date and time in the car sticker balloting function to

generate the result.




1.6 Chapter summary

This chapter is study about most of the vehicles parking issues that had been faced by

students, registration for visitor permit and heavy workload of security guards on

campus. Also, in the objective and the project scope part had been introduced the

module and ways to solve the problem as mention previously such as design a car

zoning approaches. In the impact, significance and contribution part, it had specifica l ly

describe who will benefit and how will he/she will be benefit by using the parking and

vehicle control application on campus.

2.1.1 Vehicles Sticker

Vehicles sticker are another way for a campus to manage their parking place on the

campus. Student are required to submit their legal document for the staff and then the

staff will issue the car sticker by considering several factors. After the student

successfully get the vehicles sticker, the vehicle sticker must be placed on the mirror in

order for security guard to conduct their checking easily (UTAR, 2014). However, there

are several term and condition that required a car sticker holder to follow which is for

the staff or management team to reduce those problems that may cause by a student on

campus. The strength of the vehicle sticker is easier for security guards to determine

the sticker is either legal or illegal. Besides that, low cost on designing the vehicles

sticker also another advantages of the vehicles sticker due to the sticker is lightwe ight

and required less material to design it. However, the weakness of the vehicles sticker is

the admin of the campus have difficulty to keep track the traffic in the campus. For

example, campus admin impossible to know the current amount of car that had been

inside a campus.

2.1.2 Access card

Students and staff are required to purchase an access card to enter campus and

parking on designated parking location. Students who want to enter the campus needs

to insert the access card into the card reader arrow first; stripe up and the left (The

university of Texas at Austin, 2016). After that, the barriers gate will be opened after

the access card is removed. Furthermore, the access card should put as near as possible

which is required within the range of 10 inches (The university of Texas at Austin,

2016). In addition, reader box will display a light where indicates whether the card have

read successfully or not. For example, if the access card had been spoiled then the reader

box will keep display the light in red color which is indicates there have a problem with

the access card. Besides that, the failure to open the barriers gate may make the access

card go out of sync (The university of Texas at Austin, 2016). Therefore, there will be

a charged for a participants to re-sync the access card. The advantages of the access

card is allow the admin to keep track the traffic in the campus where allow admin to

know whether there are still have the empty parking slot inside the campus or not. Not

only that, the access card will reduce the workload of the security guard where the




guards need to control the traffic in the campus only instead of keep looking a car

whether have permit enter or not. Besides that, the disadvantages of implementing the

access card is high cost as compared to other approaches. By implementing the access

card, there are required to purchase few hardware such as the barriers gate, access card

reader, access card and so on.

2.1.3 Parking permit

The parking permit is a way to control a vehicle to enter campus. By using this

approaches, it will provide those parking spaces as fairly and as conveniently as

possible for all persons on a campus (Parking, 2014). There are several types of permit

such as surface parking permit, garage permit, one vehicle hangtag permit, resident

permit (Parking, 2014). Furthermore, the different type of permit is only allowed to

parking their car on a designated parking location. Also, different type of occupation is

required registering the different type of permit. For example, student and staff are

allowed to purchase the garage permit or surface parking permit and residential students

must purchase a resident permit. Furthermore, the visitor only allows to purchase one

vehicle hangtag permit. In addition, the strengths of the parking permit is everyone are

fair to get a permit to enter the campus rather than had restriction by using other parking

and vehicle control approaches. However, the limitation of the parking permit is the

campus must have a huge amount of parking slot for visitor, staff and student due to

everyone can get the permit easily to enter the campus.




2.2 Existing parking and vehicle control mobile application

2.2.1 Parkmobile

Figure 2.2.1.1 the new user registration, login and vehicle control screenshot.

Parkmobile is an application to control the vehicle in the specific country. Besides

that, it also starting a parking and vehicle control for University due to the needs of a

customer. The parkmobile required a user to register before using the application due

to consideration of security. As refer to figure 2.2.1.1 the left-hand side picture shows

the registration form for a customer and the right-hand side is the parking and vehicle

control module on the parkmobile application where need the user to provide those

details to register the location they had park their car. In addition, due to the advance of

technology, the company starting to introduce the function of use touch ID to login

instead of entering manually in order to protect customer privacy.




Figure 2.2.1.2 show the ways to retrieve parking zone number

The figure 2.2.1.2 show the ways of Parkmobile to retrieve the parking zone

number. The user can look for Parkmobile sign or sticker. After registered, the user can

use the Parkmobile application to type in the zone number listed on the sign in order to

start a parking session (Parkmobile, 2016). This module is useful for a user where the

car parking place doesn’t provide or have an unclear parking zone number.

Strengths

By using Parkmobile, there are provides a good design of registration form for a user

in order to protect the user confidential data. Also, the parkmobile provide a convenient

ways for user to login by using the touch ID to login directly rather than enter username

and password manually. Besides that, they are trying to use the QR technology to

automate some parking process which will convenient for a user. Also, the registrat ion

of vehicle parking is simple enough where the user always didn’t like to enter many

data.

Weakness

The main problem on this mobile application are the QR code scanner might take a long

time to scan the parking zone due to unclear printing of the QR code. Besides that, the

QR code sticker also might be destroyed or affected by the weather then the QR code

may be harder or cannot scan and proceed it into words.




2.2.2 gtechana (officer parking right)

Figure 2.2.2.1

The figure 2.2.2.1 show the mobile parking application from Gtechana Company. From

the diagram, the mobile application showed that the convenient ways to enables a user

to enter a car plate using voice detection and car plate camera scanner. Besides that, the

user can directly click the speak logo button and then speak out the car plate number,

therefore the mobile application can analyse the voice and then convert it to the data.

After capturing the car plate number, the mobile application will check the car plate

number had paid the parking fees or not. Also, the other ways for a user to enter the car

plate are using a phone camera to capture images and then the application will analyse

the image in order to capture the car plate number from the images. Besides that, the

user needs to select which parking zone they are entered. Those parking zoning all are

listing in a drop-down list, the user can direct choose from the drop-down list rather

than entering the details manually.




Figure 2.2.2.2

Figure 2.2.2.2 show the vehicle registration forms of the officer parking application.

The mobile application provides a very simple user interface for user to enter the car

details manually. This registration is for user to register their parking vehicle for

payment purpose.

Strengths

The parking control application provides flexible ways for a user to enter the car plate

number into the mobile application such as using voice detection and images, besides

that, the register form are easy for a user to read the font clearly due to smaller screen

size are always the majority problem on the smartphone. By using this application, it

will eliminate errors due to manual entry of wrong information, incomplete notice and

etc (Gtechna, 2016).

Weakness

The main weakness of this mobile application is the processing time. The mobile

application required to take a long time to scan and detect the user input which is the

car plate number. Also, the user interface is too simple due to the color problem. A user

might not trust an application that with a very simple user interface. Lastly, the

application developer should be considered to design a new button which provides a

clear all function for convenience user when they want to re-enter all the data.




2.2.3 Spot Squad

Figure 2.2.3.1

The figure 2.2.3.1 show the Spot squad mobile application. This application provides a

module which a report a car who are breaking the rules and regulation to authorit ies.

Besides that, the user is required to report what are the problem at the parking area and

then input with car plate number either enter manually or using the phone camera to

capture the car plate image for mobile application to perform analyse tasks.

Furthermore, it also requests a user to capture an image as an evidence in step 2.

Strength

The Spot Squad mobile application provides a special module for a user which are

reporting a problem related to parking such as double parked or handicap parking. Also,

the each step are clearly stated on the mobile application where a user will not get lost

while using the application. Furthermore, it also allows a user to enter car plate

manually or using the car plate camera scanner which is more flexible for a user.

Weakness

The Spot Squad mobile application might not easily to recover when a user makes

mistake. For example, when the user in step 3 but the user had made mistake on step 1,

therefore required to exit and then enter the module again. Also, the option that provides

user to select the vehicle problems that may be restricted where some of the situation

cannot be described by just few wording such as a small accident that happened on that

campus.

Spot Squad and proposed system. Refer to the table, the ParkMobile, gtechana and

proposed application able to recover easily when user had make mistake but the Spot

Squad application are not able to recovery easily. Also, different mobile application

able to provides a different ways for user to enter the car plate, the proposed application

are able to provide 2 type of ways to enter car plate which are QR code scanner and

enter manually. Furthermore, all the application are provided a login function but only

the ParkMobile application are allow for user to login with touchID. Lastly, the

processing time of parkMobile and proposed system are moderated fast due to using

the QR code technology to process the result. But, the gtechana and Spot Squad will be

slower due to the process is involves the image processing capability which is required

to grab the car plate number from an images.




2.4 Existing car zone approaches

2.4.1 Agent-based models

The agent-based models are an approaches to resolve the problem of planning on

a campus by utilized few variable such as parking fees, parking supply, transit fees, and

distribution and trip generation (Boamah, 2013). After defining the variable, the agent

is refer to all the variable interact with each other and generate a desired outcome. In

order to successful implementing the agent-based models, the campus is required to

collect a parking data using a quantitative model. The data should be included the

parking space available on the campus, the permit purchases of various permit

categories, annual profit, and the cost of parking for operation and maintenance

(Boamah, 2013). After that, use a vensim PLE software to stimulate the parking

behaviour followed by further considered the relationship between the cost and benefit

in meeting the demand between students, staff and admin on the campus. After that,

simulations will run to answer the question “how to price the parking permit to

minimize the parking shortage on campus and still meet the cost of parking (Boamah,

2013)? For analyser to judge which ways are better to choose to implement the parking

zones on campus.

2.4.2 On-street parking strategy

On-street parking strategy allow to manage the on-street parking and control the

car park building (Auckland council organisation, 2015). The on-street parking is an

approaches to allow driver to park their car on the street. Besides that, the on-street

parking can be only allow for park in few street only rather than all the street on the

campus due to consideration of the safety and give more space for walking. By using

on-street parking which can increase the parking lot on the campus. In order for the on-

street parking successful, the campus is required to consider there are no limitation to

conduct the on-street parking. For example, will not disturb other car pass by and safety

of the pedestrian. Also, it also should restricted the time to parking on the street by

implementing the policy or regulation to support it. Reserved Parking also should be

considered for bus, Taxi and POS office car to have place for them to leave their car.

The price of the on-street parking should be set on different rate which mean that the

longest time that a person leave their car longer, then the charged should be more

expensive.




2.4.3 Off-street parking strategy

Another parking approaches is using the off-street parking. The Off-street parking

is referring to the user to park their car on the garage or parking lot (Francisco, 2012).

In order to control the traffic of off-street parking well, therefore authorities need to

provide a number of building and the car facilities to control the parking traffic in the

parking surface. The building of the off-street parking should be included a barriers

gate to control the entry and exits. Usually, the car park building is required for user to

pay, parking with time-restriction and unrestricted parking. The off-street parking can

be reduce the traffic congestion on the road. Besides that, this approaches is more

suitable for shopping centre where have a huge compound for them to build the parking

building. Besides that, off-street parking can be further divided based on the user is

either long-stay or short stay (Auckland council organisation, 2015).

Table 2.5.1

All the models of the parking are able to reduce the parking issues. The agent-based

are analyze the situation then only find the best ways to solve the issues, therefore it

will have the high capability to resolve the parking issues. Besides that, the on-street is

a ways to allow user to park their car in the street and off-street are park their inside a

parking building and parking zones. The proposed system are allow user to park their

on a specific zone which is assigned by the admin of the campus. Besides that, the cost

to implement the agent-based is required middle amount of money to observe the




current situation and then need use a software to stimulate the result. On-street parking

cost is low due to the parking place can be added directly and no need to purchase any

extra equipment. The off-street parking implementation cost will be higher due to there

need to build a parking building with multiple story or single story and implement the

gate barriers to control the traffic in the building. The proposed system will require a

moderate cost to purchase extra equipment which is the barriers gate for few parking

zone in a campus. Furthermore, all the model are flexible for admin to set the parking

fees except proposed system which is based on onetime payment. However, all of the

model are using technology to conduct it, but there are still need one or two people to

control the traffic on the parking areas due to some of the decision cannot produce by

the system. Lastly, the agent-based model based on the situation to decide either want

to implement the barriers gate or no need. The off-street parking and proposed system

are required the barriers gate to track the available parking place for user. Lastly, there

have difficulty to keep track the traffic on the on-street parking where the user might

just enter the parking slot without notice.

2.6 Chapter Summary

This chapter had been further discuss about those existing parking and vehicle control

application and existing car zone approaches. Besides that, the table also have been

simplify the strengths and weakness of all the approaches. However, the proposed

application is improved the limitation of the existing application, therefore the proposed

application can be done better.

Chapter 3: System Methodology and Proposed System




3.1 Methods/ Technology involve

The platform of parking and vehicle control on campus application will develop

using java language. The java language is a good language for a user to develop the

mobile application. Besides that, the java also provides many libraries which can

provide a useful function for an android application where will reduce the workload of

developing the application.

In the mobile application should include the images numbering and alphabet

scanner and voice detection in order for a security guard to have a choice which will

more easily for them to proceed their work. Besides that, the application will have a

login page where only allow student, staff and admin to become the user of the

application in order to determine their privilege. Also, the different module provided

by the application is limited for a particular user based on the login user privilege which

means the different user only allow to access certain module only. However, the admin

is allowed to access all the module in the application due to they may need an extra

information to perform their tasks.

Lastly, the parking and vehicle control on campus application will work on all the

android phone with the latest android version.




3.2 Methodology

Figure 3.2.1

Figure 3.2.1 show the methodology of developing the proposed mobile application.

In the planning phase, the objective and goals of development the system will be

identified. The project scope will determine the module that is required to include in

the proposed system.

In the analysis phase, the observation and questionnaires will be conducted in order

to retrieve the current requirement of the user. The requirement of the user should be

included in the proposed system.

During the prototyping stages, a mobile application will be developed and then will

coding out some functionalities which no yet included in the prototype during

implementation stages. After implementation stages, the application will perform

several types of testing such as the black box, acceptance testing, functional testing and

non-functional testing to make sure the product is actually solving the needs addressed

and gathered during the requirement stages. (skumar, 2016) However, if the testing

discovers the problem or bugs then it should be returned to prototype stages and modify

the prototype until there have no error in the testing stages.

Define the

problem Gather necessary information

Design and develop an application

Evaluate and testing the system

Update the problem countered by user

Coding out all the functionalities

Deliver to user used




After successfully testing the system, the system will proceed to deployment stages

which are deployed the application for customer use. In the maintenance stages, when

the customer start using the developed system then the problems come up and needs to

be solved from time to time (skumar, 2016).

3.3 Gantt chart

Figure 3.3.1 Gantt chart for mobile application development (01 November 2016- 31

August 2017)

The figure 3.3.1 show the Gantt chart about the mobile application development. The

project starting with the planning the concept of the proposal continues by creating a

project plan then conduct a presentation to the client. During the analysis phase, design

and distribute questionnaire for the user to gather the information related to parking and

vehicle control problems on campus. Besides that, some of the problems are very

obvious for me to conduct an observation through the user. During the prototyping

stages, a few diagram such as use-case, activity and class diagram will be drawing.

After that, a prototyping will be designed for a user to try out and get some feedback

from the user.

Furthermore, during the testing stages, the mobile application must perform some type

of testing to check the functionalities whether can provides accurate output for the user.

After testing, the presentation and a report should be carried out for a user to understand

the application.




3.4 Tools, connectivity, hardware and software.

3.4.1 Tools to develop the application

Firebase API

- Providing a specific key for a particular devices where allow us to determine

the device currently login with what user. Besides that, this have been used in

the Request help function where all the admin account will receive the

notification but the student will not receive the notification.

Android studio

- Android studio are the main software that allow to develop android application

through the JAVA language and XML language. Besides that, the android studio

allow to integrated with those API and library which are more convenient in

develop a mobile application.

Hostinger Sever

- By using hostinger server, it allow the mobile application and the web

application to share the data. The hostinger is an online server which allow to

create and manage a database. Besides that, it also allow to upload the php script

for developing the web application and retrieving data to mobile application.

Visual paradigm

- A software tools to draw many type of UML diagram which is easier to code

out during the coding section. Visual paradigm is useful to draft out and perform

the flow chart to indicate the logic.

RFID and NFC technology

- Two smart device that with NFC hardware will be used to conduct this project,

one of the device is receiver and the other one is sender.

3.5 System functionalities

Figure 3.5.1




As referring to Figure 3.5.1 there are several function provided by the proposed

application:

Mobile Application

Login

- Login function is a basic function that are needed for every application where it

allow the application to determine the privilege who are logon either is students

or admin of the campus. Besides that, the login function also created for

authentication where this application only allow for the student and security

guards used only.

Request help

- Request is a function that allow the students to select which zone they have

faced a parking problem such as the NFC scanner spoiled, accident and

something that are related to the traffic in the campus. After user click submit

the helps button, then a notification will notify the security guards in order for

them to take the action.

Check in-out

- The check in is a special feature where allow the student to use NFC function

inside their smart phone to enter the campus due to some of the faculty parking

zone had been blocked by the barrier gate. Besides that, the student who does

not have NFC devices, it also can using their student ID to scan using RFID.

Lastly, the student are required to register their phone serial number through the

web application in order for them to successfully to enter the campus.

Register vehicle sticker

- This module allow the student to register the car sticker through the mobile

application in order for them have the right to enter campus. Besides, the student

only required to register their vehicle details once only. During the next trimester,

the mobile application will directly retrieve the details that the student had been

registered before. However, the student also able to update the details before

confirm the registration.

Register visitor

- This function allow the security guards directly register on the spot with a name,

car plate, IC number and parking zone that visitor tends to visit. Besides that,

the security guards are able to use the SCAN IC function which had been




provided in the register module. The SCAN IC function are directly scan the

information on a particular Identity card.

Spot Check

- The spot check module are provided for the security guards to determine

whether the vehicle have the right to enter campus or not. Also, if the student

are using illegal car sticker which will be directly records to the authority. All

of the cases such as purchasing third party sticker, fake sticker and illega l

parking will be determine by the security guards.

Profile

- The student and security guards are able to view their personal profile by

accessing this module. Besides that, the profile are allow the change their profile

by accessed the function provided.

Web Application (Admin)

Vehicle registration period

- The admin are required to register the duration for the student to register a

vehicle sticker for each trimester. Besides that, the admin need to specific the

number of parking slot that want to reserve for the staff and the visitor. During

the new registration period, the admin also need to select the exactly date and

time for generating the ballot result either is successful or unsuccessful.

Furthermore, the admin also allow to delete the registration period which might

be created with mistake.

Manage security guards.

- The admin can create a new account for a security guards for them to use the

mobile application to perform their job on the campus. Besides that, the admin

also allow to update the security guards account details and delete those unused

security guards account.

Report

- The admin are allowed to use view the report either in graph or list of details

such as the traffic report that involved in each parking zone in UTAR campus.

Besides that, the web application also enable the admin to analyze which

problem that have most percentages during the security guards spot check. Not

only that, there are a graph to show for the admin the ballot result on each

trimester such as the number of successful and unsuccessful student .

Chapter 3: Proposed Method/Approach



3.6 Flow chart of the application special features

3.6.1 Student enter campus

Figure 3.6.1.1

The figure 3.6.1.1 show that the process of the student when entering to the campus. A

student will be directly rejected by the security guards, if the vehicles doesn’t have a

car sticker. After enter to the campus, the student is required to follow the parking zone

which assigned by the admin. However, if the student going to another parking zones

and trying to enter the zone, the gate barriers will not be open to enter. During enter the




campus, the student have alternative ways to enter the campus which is using the NFC

instead of focusing on one ways which is RFID. The parking zones also have the

capability to determine the number of parking space left in the parking zones, if there

is no parking for a student, a messages will be displayed to notify the student in the

mobile application.

3.6.2 Security guards conduct spot check

Figure 3.6.2.1

The figure 3.6.2.1 show the basic operation and an alternative ways for the security

guards to conducting their spot check operation on campus. The main operation on this

is for the security guards to determine either a student enter the campus is with a legal

or illegal car sticker. However, even though there are barriers gate for each parking

zones, but the spot check operation still considered as an important operation that is

because of want to solve the problem of a student using friends login ID to enter the

parking zones.




3.6.3 Student get a car sticker

Figure 3.6.3.1

The Figure 3.6.3.1 show the procedures how the application to choose the successful

registered ballot of the car sticker biding result. By overall process, the application will

check the time and date of the result released data. If reached the result of release date

and time, the application will generate result based on the registered student. Besides

that, if a particular parking zone still contain available space, the mobile application

will choose from the unsuccessful registered student who are most near the parking

zone with parking space.




3.6.4 Student update serial number

Figure 3.6.4.1

The flow chart show the process that update the serial number in the application. The

reason that purposed this is to reduce the misuse of the user account by scanning the

NFC tag multiple time. Firstly, if the student want to update the serial number, they

need to visit the faculty office and fill in particular form. After that, admin need to

change the status of updating the serial number to active. Therefore, the student are

allowed to update serial number through the web sites. After updating, the status of

updating will automatically update to 0.

Chapter 4: System Design



Chapter 4 System Design

4.1 System Architecture

Figure 4.1.1

In parking and vehicle control application, it will used the client-server architecture.

Each type of the user will access the application with the internet connection, then the

application will communicate with the server. The server will control the flow of data

between request and response. As refer to the figure 4.1.1 when a student or security

guards perform login function in the mobile application using their smart phone, then

the application will access the server, then the server will retrieve the required data from

the database to compare the password and username to determine either that is a valid

or invalid input by the user with the data stored on the database.

Besides that, the web application which had been developed will used the client -

server architecture where the admin use a computer to request the required data and

then the web application will generate the report for the admin. For example, when a

admin select the date between 01-Jan 2017 and 31-Jul 2017, then the application will

connect to the server, the server will control what data that the web application are

requesting, then return the related data to the web application before generate the report

for the admin to view.




4.2 Block Diagram

Figure 4.2.1

The block diagram of Figure 4.2.1 show that the student are required login to the

application before using it. After that, the student are only allow to pass through the

barriers gate either with a NFC or student card to open the barriers gate. The

application will determine automatically either the parking zone is same with the

parking zone assigned by the admin or not. After that, the student are allow to park

their car inside the campus zone.




4.3 Campus map design (Location to put barrier gate)

Figure 4.3.1

The figure 4.3.1 is a map of the UTAR kampar campus which enables to see the gate barrier had been added to the parking zones.




4.4 Sample vehicle sticker of UTAR campus

Figure 4.4.1

The figure 4.4.1 is the sample of the car sticker that going to use in the UTAR campus.

The new designed sticker that with a QR code which will directly store the car plate

number which is more convenient for security guard or admin to conduct the spot check

operation in the UTAR campus.




4.5 User Interface Design (Mobile application)

Figure 4.5.1 Splash Screen Design

The figure 4.5.1 show the splash screen design, the splash screen design will appear

only when the user haven’t login. If the user has been login, the splash screen design

will not display on the screen.

Figure 4.5.2 Login Interface Design

After the splash screen appear few seconds, the application will redirect user to the

login page. The student and security guards must enter the correct username and

password in order to login successfully.




Figure 4.5.3 Student Main menu

The figure 4.5.3 is the main menu for the student. Each of the student are will redirect

to this page, if they are login successfully. The vehicle registration is for the student to

apply their vehicle sticker on each trimester. However, each student only allow to apply

once for each trimester. If student trying to apply more than one, there will display error

to indicate the problem. Besides that, the Help module is to allow student to request a

help from security guard where they might face the problem inside the campus. Also,

the check In/Out module is a new approaches for the student to enter the campus using

the NFC on the device, the application will match the current serial number with the

pre-set serial number to increase the security on using this application. Furthermore,

the check-in module allow the student to view the parking slot available on their parking

zone so that they can enter the parking zone with confident that there have a parking

place. Lastly, the profile is for the student to view their personal details.




Figure 4.5.4 car sticker registration

The figure 4.5.4 show the simple interface for a student to register their car sticker

through online rather than relying on the web browser. Besides that, the student are

required to input the vehicle type, vehicle plate number, vehicle manufacturer, vehicle

model, vehicle color and select the vehicle type for proceeding the registration.

The student only allowed for register once only in each trimester. If the student try

to register twice on each trimester, the application will display an error to notify the

student. After click the apply button, the application will check are the form contain

any empty field before proceeding to the confirm alert.




Figure 4.5.5.1 Request help Figure 4.5.5.2 Notification (Admin)

Figure 4.5.5.1 show the module which is providing for students. Every student are

allow to use this module to request the help from the security guards. Besides that, the

student are able to specific the problem such as the barriers gate cannot be open or NFC

reader spoiled, give block by other car and etc. After specific the problem, the student

needs to select the problem is occurs in which parking zone in the campus.

Figure 4.5.5.2 show the notification has been received by the security guards. After the

security guards received the notification, the security can take action based on the

information given. This module can be very useful for those student who has

insufficient credit in their mobile phone.




Figure 4.5.6 (Check-In-Out)

Figure 4.5.6 is the module to allow the student to scan through the reader in

front of the barrier gate implemented in each faculty zone. Before the student can enter

to the parking zone, they need to scan the NFC-enable phone with the reader in order

to make the barrier gate open. This module only can access when the ballot result is

successful. The student who got the unsuccessful ballot, they are unable to access this

module.

After accessing this module, the student are able to view their parking assigned

zone and the available parking slot are left in their parking zone only. The current status

are the information to determine the student current is in the inside or outside of the

parking zone.




Figure 4.5.7 Security Guard Main Menu

Figure 4.5.7 is the main menu of the security guards. The security guards are

able to perform the spot check operation, visitor registration, check-in-out and profile

module. The security guards can use the mobile application to conduct their spot check

operation easily through the QR code scanner and a new design vehicle sticker for

UTAR campus. Besides that, the security guards able to register a visitor details in faster

ways where the security guards can grab the information directly through the SCAN IC

function inside the visitor registration module. The check-in-out module is same as the

student but the security are able to access every parking zone instead of only one

parking zone.




Figure 4.5.8.1 spot check module(Enter Manually)

The figure above show the interface of the spot check operation which is designed

only for security guard to check either a car sticker is valid or invalid. Besides that, the

security guard are able to enter the car plate manually (Figure 4.5.4.1) or click the QR

code button for accessing the QR code scanner (Figure 4.5.4.2) through the camera.

After the checking, the application will retrieve the car plate number and then

compare with the database car plate numer to determine either the sticker is legal or

illegal. Besides that, there have a clear button provided for the security guards to clear

the car plate input text field. The application also will check

Figure 4.5.8.2 spot check module(Enter Automatically)




Figure 4.5.9.1 Figure 4.5.9.2

Spot check (Unsuccessful Result) Spot check (Successful Result)

The both figures show the spot check result. If the spot check result is unsuccessful

then the figure 4.5.9.1 activity will be appear to request the security guards to select the

categories of the problem which had been checked.

Besides, the figure 4.5.9.2 show the spot check result which is successful. Since

the security guards only enter the car plate number, then the security guard need to

manually matching the vehicle details with the car by using the vehicle manufacture,

color, model and vehicle registration No.




Figure 4.5.10.1 Figure 4.5.10.2 Figure 4.5.10.3 Visitor registration form Splash Screen Scan IC

The figure 4.5.10.1 is the activity of the visitor registration form. The security

guard can use this module to register the visitor details. Security guards able to choose

either input the visitor details manually or through the scan IC function. The security

guards need to enter the visitor name, car plate number, IC number and address. The

date and time arrived is auto generated by the application. The security guards need to

ask the visitor how long they will be visit the campus and which block they are tends

to visits. After successful register, the security guards will issue an access card to the

visitor for them to visit the parking zone.

Moreover, the figure 4.5.10.2 is the splash screen to indicate there are loading the

camera after the security guard click the SCAN IC button. After loading the splash

screen, the figure 4.5.10.3 will be display. The security guards need to fit the IC inside

the box in order to scan the details faster. Furthermore, if the place are too dark then the

security guard can open the flash light directly through the activity.




4.6 User Interface Design (Web Application)

Figure 4.6.1 Create vehicle registration period

Figure 4.6.2 Reserved parking zone value.

The admin are required to create a new registration period for the student to register

their vehicle. The admin need to select the “Red text” which is show in the figure 4.6.1

in order to update the reservation value. If the admin do not update the value, then the

web application will directly choose the pre-set value which had been set on last

trimester (Figure 4.6.2).




Figure 4.6.3 Date input

Figure 4.6.4 Time input

Besides that, when an admin want to create a new registration period they need to

select the date and time for the start, end and result released date. The date (Figure 4.6.3)

and the time (Figure 4.6.4) input field has been design on using the JQuery method to

change the input type to date and time picker which will reduce the burden for the admin.

After the admin created the registration period, the admin will not be able to create

another registration period again until the current ballot is released. Furthermore, the

web application will perform the necessary validation such as the end date cannot be

greater than start date. Not only that, the web application also will validate the input

text field to ensure there doesn’t contain any empty text fields.

that there are 11 number of student get successful registration and none student get

unsuccessful.

Figure 4.6.26 Update Serial number

In order to increase the security on using the NFC tag to open the barrier gate, the

student need to update their serial number based on their device. If the student who has

lost their phone, they need to update the new device serial number through this interface.

Besides, the serial number is bind with the student or security guards account, then the

NFC reader only will accept those tag based on the serial number which is has been

preset by the user. Not only that, the student is allowed to active and inactive the NFC

tag through the radio button.




Figure 4.6.27 manage user serial number

Before the student are allowed to update the serial number, the student need to fill in

the form through the faculty office. The admin are allowed the student to update the

serial number by checking the radio button to active. Besides that, the admin can use

the filter function to filter out the records.




4.7 Database Design

Figure 4.7.1 Database Design

The figure 4.7.1 show there are nine main class in the proposed project which are users, Reservation, trimester, visitor, parkingzone, checkedcarplate, registervehicle,

traffic and vehicle details.

Each of the user with the position of security guards are able to check multiple car plate, register multiple visitor. Besides that, each of the student only can have one

registration details. A student can register their vehicle multiple time but with different trimester. Furthermore, each registered vehicle will have one or many traffic

transaction in the campus. Also, each of the reservation can be assigned to multiple trimester. Each admin can arrange multiple parking zone in the UTAR campus.




4.8 NFC Design

Figure 4.8.1

The figure 4.8.1 show the NFC connection between the smart phone and the

receiver. Each time when a student or security guards they open the parking and vehicle

control application and then access the Check-in-out module, the receiver of the NFC

will interact with the database.

Each time when a student use the NFC, the receiver will update the record in the

database such as the traffic transaction inside the campus. Besides that, the receiver will

match the serial code of the scanning device with the serial number which is binds with

the user account database to determine whether the current scanning device has the right

to enter the parking zone or not.

Chapter 6: Discussion



Chapter 6 Discussion

6.1 Project Achievement

In the chapter 6, the result was prove that the project has been fits the three

objective where the ballot result are able to generate based on the student faculty.

Besides that, the security guards are able to do their tasks all in mobile application

platform instead of manually writing down everything on a paper such as the security

can use the mobile application to conduct the spot check operation in the campus. Also,

there will be introduced a new ways which is NFC function for the student and staff to

enter the campus instead of relying on one methods.

6.2 System Strengths and Limitations.

The strengths of this project is to enable a security guards and students to do their

tasks easily. For security guards, they are able to use the mobile application to conduct

spot check and registration for a visitor through multiple ways which had been provided

in the mobile application. Besides that, the student are able to use the mobile application

to check the available parking place before enter to the campus, vehicle registrat ion,

and using NFC mobile device to enter their parking zone instead of relying on the

technique RFID using access cards. Also, the NFC module are highly protected by

using the serial number. If the student want to update the serial number, they need to

fill in the form to the faculty office before they are able to update the serial number.

The limitation that will be faced on using this mobile application is the security

guards using the SCAN IC function, since the scanning function can be affected by

many reason such as the brightness, camera resolution and etc. Therefore, sometime s

the security guards will not get exactly details same as the identity card. Another

limitation of this project is the admin had been created the registration period, the

student cannot directly register but the need to close the mobile application and then re-

open it again.

6.3 Implementation Issues.

The main issues that implementing this project is the communication between the

Chapter 6: Discussion



mobile application and the web application. Each type of the user will change the value

that had been stored in the database. Besides that, both of the application are sharing

the same database. For example, the admin can generate the report while the security

guards are conducting the spot check operation at the same time. Therefore, any site of

the application change the value also will affect the database value.

Besides that, NFC scanner equipment are still unpopular in nowadays therefore in

this project will use both NFC device to act as a receiver and the sender to get the project

is done.

6.4 Enhancement

As referring to the project limitation, the function in the application will be

continuously improve. For example, the security guards using the SCAN IC function

are able to get the accurate details and complete their tasks in the fastest ways.

Besides that, make the database become a real-time database where the student can

get the latest registration period time without re-open the application. For example,

when an admin update the value in the database, the student can directly get the latest

information directly through their mobile application.

6.5 Summary

This chapter is study and determine whether the completed project can achieve the pre-

defined objective or not. Based on the each testing plan, there had been proved that

the project has achieved three of the object. Although there are few limitation in the

project, but the system helps a campus to solve many problem and very convenient for

every type of user. Previously, the admin are only can view the report based on the

Microsoft Excel. After implemented this project, the admin are allow to view the

student information and campus traffic in an organized ways and can be access in any

time through a device that with an internet connection. Furthermore, the security guards

also no need to rely on the verbal and document to determine the car plate is using valid

or invalid vehicle sticker.

Chapter 7: Conclusion



Chapter 7 Conclusion

Previously, many of the people are more relying on the paper to write down those

important information that are needed for them. But, nowadays due the advancement

of technology, the technology are able to reduce many problems or workload that had

been involved in our daily life. For example, the proposed parking and vehicle control

mobile application is more focus on control the traffic in the campus and reduce the

workload that had been faced in campus parking. In addition, the advancement of the

technology are able to increase the productivity of a person to produce their work in

better ways.

The proposed mobile application are able to providing a new car zoning approaches

for admin to ensure the parking place in the UTAR campus are fully utilized. Obviously,

the previous method are not fully utilized due to many parking zones are left empty but

other parking zone are full at all the time. However, the mobile application are able to

resolve the problems which is providing the UTAR car sticker based on their faculty.

Besides that, the mobile application will directly to help the admin to decide which

parking zone should be assigned to a particular student who are registered the vehicle

car sticker. Not only that, by implementing the barrier gate that are allow the mobile

application to provide an extra feature which is allow the user to keep track the parking

place left for student. Besides that, in order to provide a more efficient ways for security

guard to conduct their spot check operation, there are required to support by the QR

code which is enables the security guards to eliminate the entering step which is slower

than QR code reader.

Lastly, after completed the purposed web application and the mobile application, I

hope that those application can actually help and benefit a lot of user such as student,

staff, student, admin and visitor to solve their daily problems that might be occurs in

the campus
