SEAIT Smart Parking System: Enhancing Efficiency and Security in Campus Vehicle Management

Increasing numbers of cars in universities have brought rising parking management issues, including congestion, unauthorized parking, as well as safety concerns. Traditional parking systems rely on manual checks and do not include real-time tracking of data, creating inefficiencies as well as safety risks for the users and employees. This work outlines the SEAIT Smart Student Parking System that will improve these issues through the use of advanced technologies such as real- time tracking, space reservation automation, as well as advanced safety features. The work will examine how a smart parking system can maximize car management, safety, and optimize parking experience for users. Utilizing the mixed-methods approach, 50 respondents, who included university employees as well as students, were interviewed as well as surveyed. Findings indicate that user satisfaction with the system's real-time update as well as the system's navigation is high, with 46% of users reporting notable time savings when finding parking. The work demonstrates that feedback from the users is paramount in improving system functionality as well as system design. Overall, the SEAIT Smart Student Parking System documents the capability of smart technologies in changing university parking management, presenting an extendible approach for other universities facing the same challenges.
