gPark: Vehicle Parking Management System Using Smart Glass

Abstract EN

Recent advances in wearable technologies have opened new avenues for their applications in various fields.

This paper presents the design, implementation, and testing results for a vehicle parking management system using smart Glass technology.

The management system consists of four major interconnected applications.

The most important one, running on the smart Glass, scans the vehicle number plate and extracts the related information in real time.

The vehicle information is sent to the remote server for checking of any violation.

The server sends the updates back to the Glass that allows the parking attendant to take further actions, if needed.

The system was tested in real-life scenarios, and it was found that the detection accuracy up to 75% can be easily achieved with current hardware and software capabilities of the Google Glass.
