Abstract. In this study, a solution has been provided for the problems encountered in parking-lot management systems via RFID technology. RFID readers, RFID labels, computers, barriers and software are used as for the main components of the RFID technology. The software has been handled for the management, controlling, transaction reporting and operation tasks for parking lots located on various parts of the city. Check-ins and check-outs of the parking-lots will be under control with RFID readers, labels and barriers. It will be possible to see unmanned, secure, automated parking-lots functioning with RFID technology in the future. Check-ins and check-outs will be handled in a fast manner without having to stop the cars so that traffic jam problem will be avoided during these processes. Drivers will not have to stop at the circulation points and parking tickets will be out of usage during check-ins and check-outs. Vehicle owners will not have to make any payments at each check-out thus a faster traffic flow will be possible. Since there will not be any waiting during check-ins and check-outs the formation of emission gas as a result of such waiting will be avoided.
Key Words: RFID, Automation, Parking-Lot, Parking-lot Management.
UPOTREBA RFID-A ZA PRIMENE SMART PARKINGA
U ovoj studiji je dato rešenje za probleme sa kojima se srećemo u sistemima upravljanja parkiralištima putem RFID tehnologije. RFID čitači, RFID oznake, kompjuteri, barijere i softveri se koriste kao glavne komponente RFID tehnologije. Softverom se rukovodi u cilju upravljanja, kontrole, izveštavanja o transakcijama i operacionim zadacima za parking prostore locirane u različitim delovima grada. Prijavljivanje i odjavljivanje sa parkirališta se nalazi pod kontrolom RFID čitača, oznaka i barijera. Tako će biti moguće obezbediti da parkiralište u budućnosti funkcioniše sa RFID tehnologijom, bez osoblja ali sigurno i automatizovano. Prijavljivanja i odjavljivanja će biti ubrzana bez potrebe da se kola zaustavljaju pa će se i time izbeći saobraćajne gužve tokom ovih procesa. Vozači neće morati da se zaustavljaju na kružnim tačkama a neće biti potrebe ni za izdavanjem kartica tokom prijavljivanja i odjavljivanja. Vlasnici vozila neće morati da plaćaju na punktu za odjavljivanje tako da će saobraćak biti brži. Pošto neće biti čekanja tokom prijavljivanja i odjavljivanja biće izbegnuto emitovanje gasova do koga dolazi tokom čekanja.
