Sažetak
The detection of vehicle presence in parking slots is a fundamental part of smart parking systems. The problem is commonly approached with devices composed of specific sensors, which usually are either magnetic or infrared. The sensor is continuously sampled by an onboard microcontroller capable of determining the slot status (available or occupied) and sending the information to a central collection and gathering system by means of a wireless technology. Nevertheless, cost and power consumption are still an issue. Based on the consideration that the vehicle slot status is only a single bit of information, in this article an alternative low-power and cost-effective approach is proposed. Specifically, two novel vehicle presence detectors, one battery-powered and based on 868 MHz LoRa technology and one solar-cell- powered and adopting BAP 866 MHz UHF RFID technology, are presented, designed, realized, and tested. The obtained results demonstrate the appropriateness of the proposed approach since the same functionalities of conventional devices at lower cost and lower consumption are reached.
