SMART PARKING LOCATION TRACKER USING RFID AND ANDROID APPS

Parking lots are very important facilities in shopping centers, offices, and others. The size of the parking area and the large number of vehicles in the parking area cause difficulties for users to find parking for vehicles and find empty parking spaces. Smart parking location tracker using RFID and Android apps provides a solution for drivers to quickly find a vehicle and find an empty parking space. In this study, Smart Parking Location Tracker Using RFID and Android Apps uses the Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller based on RFID and the MifareRC522 Module owned by RFIDtag, uses RFIDtag as a ticket replacement and uses NodeMCU as a link between the application and the microcontroller. The Reflective IR sensor is used as a notification if there is still an empty parking space and the empty parking space data is displayed on the LCD door block. The results showed that the success rate of sending data and sensor readings reached 100%, the reader parking space was empty 100%, and the testing of RFID information still experienced problems in the coding of the microcontroller program.
