Abstract/Executive Summary
Complex challenges in parking have been prevalent in metropolitan areas all over the world due to factors such as inefficient use of spaces, and rapid urbanization; this then has an effect towards worse traffic conditions, and possible environmental issues. While traditional efforts such as increasing parking infrastructure have been done, this study aims to focus on the development of a smart parking reservation system that integrates camera-based software for enhanced parking management. With the use of CCTV camera technology, the detection system was tested under different lighting scenarios to evaluate the system’s efficiency in terms of accuracy and consistency. Done under developmental research design, a parking reservation website was developed coinciding with the evaluation of the system’s ability to detect vacant and non-vacant spaces. The results showed that both precision and recall began at 91.56% and 90.06%, respectively, during the early morning hours and steadily increased throughout the day, surpassing 96.9% precision and 95.6% recall by mid-afternoon. This enhancement in detection accuracy is consistent with previous studies indicating that YOLO-based detection systems achieve their best performance in well-lit environments. Although the system successfully met the target threshold of ≥ 90%, tests conducted during nighttime revealed that factors such as low light, glare, and the presence of other objects continue to present challenges. Overall, the research highlights that an affordable, camera-based smart parking solution can substantially improve parking management, maximize space utilization, and elevate the user experience.
