THE PROBLEM
The proposed study entitled “Parking Monitoring System Using Swipe Machine” will mechanize the recent Parking dilemma of SM Pampanga by providing an automated system that will help supervise the Parking Area. Using the Swipe Card technology, it will solve several problems encountered in a parking area of a mall. The proposed study will be able to provide an automated parking monitoring system that will organize numbered slots and will easily be implemented.
The current state of technology is manual: Manual distribution of parking pass and searching manually for the parking slots. The researchers decided to propose an automated version of the manual parking system.
