Abstract
The vehicle Parking management system (VPMS) is a system that enables customers/drivers
to reserve a parking space. It also allows the customers/drivers to view the parking status at
for example New road area park. It was developed because the congestion and collision of
the vehicle, the system was developed for New road area Park located in Kathmandu.
Therefore, the project aimed at solving such problems by designing a web-based system
that will enable the customers/drivers to make a reservation of available parking space
at New road park.

These requirements were later used to design the system by creating data flow diagrams and
entity relationship diagrams. The designed system was implemented using different
development tools which include HTML for creating interfaces, CSS for styling web pages
for dynamism in the web pages and as an input validation tool. XAMMP was used to build
the database and PHP used as a server-side scripting language to connect the user interface to
the database.

CHAPTER 1:
1.1 Introduction:
Parking management system for managing the records of the incoming and outgoing vehicles
in a parking house. it’s an easy for Admin to retrieve the data if the vehicle has been visited
through number he can get that data. Now days in many public places such as malls,
multiplex system, hospitals, offices, market areas there is a crucial problem of vehicle
parking. The vehicle parking area has many lanes/slots for car parking. So, to park a vehicle
one has to look for all the lanes. Moreover this involves a lot of manual labour and
investment. Instead of vehicle caught in towing the vehicle can park on safe and security with
low cost. Parking control system has been generated in such a way that it is filled with many
secure devices such as, parking control gates, toll gates time and attendance machine, car
counting system etc. These features are hereby very necessary nowadays to secure your car
and also to evaluate the fee structure for every vehicle entry and exit The objective of this
project is to build a Vehicle Parking management system that enables the time management
and control of vehicles using number plate recognition. The system that will track the entry
and exit of cars, maintain a listing of cars within the parking lot, and determine if the parking
lot is full or not. It will determine the cost of per vehicle according to their time consumption
[1].

1.2 Problem Statement :

New road parking had challenges concerning its safety of data inn the store since the
currently use paper-based system. Physical struggle for parking by drivers, wasting of
time, congestion and collision. There was also a problem of monitoring the profit made
for the company whereby the company was losing money to its workers who receive the
money (fraud). This system majorly solved the congestion, collision and save time
during parking activities.
1.3 Objectives:
 To Determines the parking area is full or not.
 To enables drivers to locate and reverse a parking place online through accessing it
on web platform.
 To determine the cost of per vehicle according to their time consumption.

1.4 Scope:
 Can be easily used in public parking lot.
 The congestion and collision of vehicle due to previous manual method will be little
to no longer exist.

1.5 Development Methodology:

Chapter 2:
2.1 Background Study
This chapter is about the thoughts and views of other scholars in relation to the topic
identified by the researcher therefore; the purpose of the study reviews previous studies in
relation to the topic under my study. It also looks at that system which have been developed
by other researchers.

2.2 Literature Review

1 Shem, S, S. Park and S.Hong(2006)

According to Shem, S, S. Park and S.Hong(2006) vehicle parking system(VPS) is web-based

used to reserve a park and data processing system. Drivers are no longer distributed to park
their vehicle since the system generate the parking lot number on VPS platform. A system
requirement of VPS requires a currently supported version of Microsoft internet explorer or
Firefox. Access to confidential data VPS is secured using 12-bit secure socket layers(SSL)
[2].

2 Whapples (2005)
According to Whapples (2005), vehicles parking management will be also much faster,
easier on both sides (means clients and company). The time taken to server a client is
significantly reduced since even the payment is done online. On company side this system
will help their records (such as client’s details) to keep it in a secure way. About the
payment, the vehicle parking management system will achieve its improvement by using
payment method such as Contact method and contactless method. In contact method it
will be whereby the client came to the office then they will pay hard cash whereas in
contactless method the client will use smart cards, debits cards and credit cards, this
method will be used because the existing method cause: unsecure payments, mistaken of
the employees which may lead the company to fall in loss [3].

3 ATCM July 2014

According to ATCM, July 2014, Results from the survey confirm that drivers use a wide
range of criteria to choose where to park. Unsurprisingly, their overriding concern is
„location‟, in other words, proximity of the car park to the amenity or location which
 represents the very purpose of their trip. Their preference is car park management
system which allow them to book a parking place easily where they can easily find a
space that comfortably accommodates their vehicle [4].

2.3 Comparison
Traffic congestion is one of the biggest challenges faced in New road due to limited
parking spaces. Growing population and the resultant increase in the number of
vehicles on road are among the key factors responsible for traffic congestion. Owing
to the necessity of organized parking and reduction in traffic congestion, the concept of
parking reservation systems has been introduced. The system allows drivers to obtain
parking availability information which we have planned to implement.

Chapter 3
3.1 System Analysis
This chapter describes the different fact-finding techniques that were used for achieving the
goals and objectives of the project such as population of the study, Data Collection and
Analysis, system analysis design and implementation, Testing and Validation. The study was
conducted in New Road Parking, Kathmandu.

3.1.1 Requirement Analysis

Project has the following functional and non-functional requirements

I. Functional Requirement
 Admin shall enter all the details for registration
 Admin shall insert all details about customer and vehicle
 Admin shall save all the details of customer and vehicle
 Admin can retrieve the details of customer
 Admin shall generate a report for payment

II. Non-Functional Requirement

 The system must be flexible.
 The system must be user interface.
 The system must have good response.
 The system must be secured.

3.2 Feasibility Study
I. Economic Feasibility
This project is economically feasible in the sense that the money which were
invested in purchasing register to keep data during short periods are now to be
invested in a computer which do not need to be changed every year. So, a onetime
investment in computer reduces expenses of the company. And a project itself is
feasible as every software used to make it are easily available in internet.

II. Technical Feasibility

Our project results a very simple and user-friendly outcome. The technical
feasibility in the proposed system deals with the technology used in the system. It
deals with the hardware and software used in the system whether they are of latest
technology or not. It happens that after a system is prepared a new technology
arises and the user wants the system based on that technology. This system uses
windows platform, PHP, MYSQL making our project Vehicle parking
management system technically feasible.

III. Operational Feasibility

This project is operationally feasible in a sense that this is done in a Computer. so data
are more secure than before, reduces risk of loss of data and updates in
automated manner reduces the error occurring chances. And this software does not
require any other technical person to operate it as a person with very less
computer do as fine.

Conclusion

This project was developed using PHP with MySQL is based on the requirement specification
of the user and the analysis of the existing system, with flexibility for future
enhancement. VEHICLE PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is very useful for clients
and drivers as they can book parking space from home and admin can manage them. In big
city areas finding a parking place for vehicle has been almost like impossible and
everything was done manually requiring many labors so this project will help a lot in those
area as it requires only few people to run it.
