Abstract

As the number of vehicle increases on this earth, the traffic also increases which leads to scarcity of parking. Studies shows that 30% of traffic is in urban area is due to drivers looking for parking and not able to find proper parking location. The technology makes traffic management very easy using some sensors in the smart phones only. Application of smart phone sensors for checking parking availability is easy to implement idea since everyone nowadays carries Smartphone with them. In this paper we have discussed some available parking management applications and explained their limitations. we have proposed an system for parking availability using GPS sensor and Accelerometer sensor and implemented using android. Its limitations are discussed and future work is suggested.
