A DESIGN FOR PREVENTION OF VIOLATION OF DISABLED PARKING SPACES: DDPS (DETERRENT DISABLED PARKING SYSTEM)

Abstract

Limited public awareness and insufficient parking spaces result in the conscious or unconscious occupation of disabled parking by other drivers. According to the law on traffic penalties, violation of disabled parking is punishable by penalty and driving reputation points. However, it is only possible to control and implement this law under ideal conditions. This study describes in detail the Disincentive Disabled Parking System (DDPS), a distinctive design, planned in order to control disabled parking and to allow the implementation of penal sanctions in case of violation and the algorithm for the system is presented. The design is modeled with Arduino UNO, ultrasonic distance sensor, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), LCD screen and various connection elements. The performance of the system is tested with three different scenarios. It is observed that system performs successfully for all three, with a 76% accuracy. The results are discussed and ways of improvement are indicated.
