RFID Solutions: Parking Optimization and Customer Satisfaction

This paper presents a capstone project that has designed and implemented a RFID parking pilot project that will involve the creation of a wireless real-time system to collect timely data for statistical analysis. This data will yield statistical results on specific parking lots on Texas A & M campus and will assist in a better understanding of the commuters behavior. To provide the practical and accurate answer by collecting real-time data, the project will implement the system that incorporates both, RFID and GPS technologies. The data collected from the system will be wirelessly transmitted via the Internet into a database to be analyzed. The analysis of the transmitted data in the database will be accomplished using the management software package created by students. The analyzed results will be published on a web page for displaying data in real-time. From these results, a cost-benefit report will be created, showing the profit that could be obtained by the Transportation Services, when full implementation of the campus wide project is completed.
