VAGA FÁCIL: SISTEMA EMBARCADO PARA GERENCIAMENTO DE ESTACIONAMENTOS

Abstract

This article deals with the progressive problem of urban mobility in Brazil, highlighting the considerable increase in the car fleet as a result of the high demand for new vehicles in large cities. The study proposes a functional solution to optimize the search for parking spaces, aiming to reduce the time spent in this process, since many individuals invest considerable time and effort in the search for a place, often giving up on the pretext of a shortage of spaces. This reality not only creates frustration for drivers, but also contributes to an increase in traffic and pollution, as vehicles continue to circulate in search of a parking space. The research also addresses the intensification of these setbacks during mass events and peak hours, presenting a comprehensive approach to improving efficiency in urban parking management, thus contributing to improving mobility and quality of life in Brazilian cities. Given this scenario, the study proposes a fast and accurate solution based on the concept of parking space availability in certain public and private spaces. The central approach consists of developing an application modeled on the Flutter development framework, capable of detecting and displaying available parking spaces in real time, based on sensors integrated into the ESP8266 NodeMCU platform positioned in those spaces, whose data relating to "free parking space" and "occupied parking space" would be displayed on a mobile application screen, in line with the information stored in the Firebase Realtime Database in connection with the ultrasonic sensors.
