Abstract: To deal with the parking guidance system issue related to the parking lots, this paper proposes a vision of improvements in parking guidance and information system based on wireless sensor network. This system consists of parking space monitoring nodes (senor nodes), parking status display unit (PSDU), Micro Control Unit (MCU) and Central Co-ordinator. The guiding nodes transmit the information of vehicle entrance through wireless sensor network. Micro Control Unit sends information to sensor nodes as well as PSDU which shows the parking status and also display the nearest parking lot. All the process can be monitored by the central co-ordinator. The preliminary test results show that the performance of this WSN based system can effectively satisfy the needs and requirements of the existing parking systems. Also it minimizes the time consumed for finding the free parking lot as well as nearest parking lot.
