Abstract:

The significant surge in automobile ownership has resulted in an escalating demand for sophisticated parking management solutions. In light of this trend, innovative technologies such as smartphone-based smart mirroring services and application-driven automobile control systems have emerged, garnering enthusiastic responses from consumers. These users are particularly attracted to systems that offer quick and convenient functionalities combined with simple installation processes. In this context, we have developed the "U-Valet Parking System," a cutting-edge solution designed to identify and monitor parking availability in real-time, thereby enhancing the effective use of parking facilities. The system communicates parking information directly to users' smartphones, facilitating seamless parking management. By providing up-to-the-minute data on available parking spaces, the U-Valet Parking System aims to alleviate traffic congestion, significantly reduce the time spent searching for parking, and help minimize fuel expenses. Ultimately, this system represents a forward-thinking approach to urban mobility, addressing the growing challenges associated with parking in densely populated areas.
