Parking Drone: A Drone-Based Parking Lot Monitoring Application

Objective: Use drone technology to monitor parking lots and provide real-time data on available parking spaces.

1. System Components:

2. Workflow:

  1. The drone captures high-resolution images of the parking lot.
  2. Images are sent to the Image Processing Server which uses computer vision (CV) algorithms to count cars.
  3. Car count and lot status are updated in the Database Server.
  4. Users can check parking lot status in real-time via the User Application.

3. App Layout:

4. Additional Features:

- **Dynamic Pricing:** Admins can adjust parking prices based on occupancy. Higher prices during peak times and lower during off-peak.
- **Reservation System:** Users can reserve spots in advance, ensuring a spot upon arrival.
- **Automatic Alerts:** Alert admins if a parking lot is full or near capacity.

5. Technology Stack:

- **Drone:** Off-the-shelf drone with a high-resolution camera, e.g., DJI Mavic.
- **Image Processing Server:** Python with OpenCV for image processing.
- **Database Server:** SQL for structured data storage.
- **User Application:** React Native for mobile apps, ReactJS for web application.
- **Admin Dashboard:** ReactJS with ChartJS for analytics.
- **Backend:** Node.js with Express.js.

6. Challenges & Solutions:

- **Variable Lighting Conditions:** Use drones with HDR cameras and apply image processing techniques to enhance image quality.
- **Obstruction (e.g., trees):** Schedule drone flights when shadows are minimal, or use multiple drone angles.
- **Accuracy:** Regularly calibrate the CV algorithm with updated data sets to improve accuracy.
- **Privacy Concerns:** Ensure images are processed in real-time and not stored to alleviate privacy concerns. Implement GDPR and other relevant privacy protocols.

7. Future Enhancements:

- **Integration with Smart Cities:** Provide data to city planners for better traffic management.
- **Environmental Data Collection:** Equip drones with sensors to gather environmental data, e.g., air quality.
- **Parking Prediction:** Use machine learning to predict parking availability based on historical data.

By deploying such a solution, users will benefit from reduced time spent searching for parking spots, and parking lot owners can manage their assets more efficiently.

Architecture Flow:

  1. User sends a request (e.g., a search for parking lots).
  2. Route 53 resolves the domain and directs the request to the application, possibly through CloudFront.
  3. API Gateway receives the request and interacts with Lambda or EC2 based on the logic.
  4. Lambda/EC2 may then interact with RDS or S3 to fetch or store data.
  5. Results are returned to the user, and any asynchronous tasks (like sending a notification) can be managed using SNS or SES.

Finally, always ensure that your AWS resources are provisioned within the confines of a VPC for security. Use IAM roles and policies judiciously, granting least privilege wherever possible.

Prajwal-Koirala commented 9 months ago

Certainly! Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers a robust suite of tools and services. Let's architect a solution for the parking lot application using GCP:

1. Infrastructure Setup:

5. Networking:

6. Content Delivery:

7. Security:

8. Developer Tools:

9. Analytics & Monitoring:

10. Notifications & Communication:

11. Microservices:

12. Backup & Recovery:

13. Integration with External Systems:

Architecture Flow:

  1. A user sends a request (e.g., searching for parking lots).
  2. Google Cloud DNS resolves the domain, directing the request to the application, possibly through the Google Cloud CDN.
  3. The Load Balancer receives the request and directs it to the appropriate Compute Engine instance or Cloud Function.
  4. The Compute instance/Cloud Function then interacts with Cloud SQL or Cloud Storage to fetch or store data.
  5. Results are returned to the user, and asynchronous tasks like sending notifications are managed using Firebase Cloud Messaging or Pub/Sub.

Ensure that your GCP resources are set up within a VPC for security. Use IAM roles and permissions judiciously, implementing a principle of least privilege. Always consider the regions/zones in which you're deploying resources to optimize for latency and redundancy.

Prajwal-Koirala commented 9 months ago

Sure! Microsoft Azure offers a variety of services that can be utilized to build a scalable and efficient parking lot application. Let's outline a logical architecture leveraging Azure services:

1. Infrastructure Setup:

5. Networking:

6. Content Delivery:

7. Security:

8. Developer Tools:

9. Analytics & Monitoring:

10. Notifications & Communication:

11. Microservices:

12. Backup & Recovery:

13. Integration with External Systems:

Architecture Flow:

  1. User sends a request (e.g., to find available parking lots).
  2. Azure DNS resolves the domain, leading the request to the application, potentially via Azure CDN.
  3. The Load Balancer receives the request and directs it to the appropriate VM or Azure Function.
  4. This instance or function then interacts with Azure SQL Database or Blob Storage for data operations.
