ANDROID APPLICATION FOR PARKING MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY SYSTEM

Nowadays the number of personal vehicles usage in Indonesia is increasing rapidly. People prefer use personal vehicle to commute than public transportation. This study aims to provide a dynamic solution by introducing a design of an Android Application for Parking Management and Security System that regulates the number of vehicles parking with the help of QRcode. The system is basically designed for a college parking which can further be extended as required. The results have shown that (1) multiple vehicles with one QRcode (2) real-time reports (3) parking space quota (4) can photograph vehicles that exit from the parking area and (5) average execution time for QRcode process is 3.8 second.


INTRODUCTION
Large organizations today are being challenged to do more with less to deliver higher levels of services at lower costs with fewer resources workforce management systems can help achieve this seemingly impossible goal. Currently, there are many organizations especially college which apply the manual parking system in Indonesia. By distributing parking card at the entrance and at the exit returns while showing genuine STNK to match the plate number of the vehicle, and often requires a lot of manpower to distribute parking card in order to avoid the long queues that cause congestion. Therefore needed a simple application for information system management and security parking.
The application is basically designed for a college parking which can further be extended as required, this system enhances the component of existing parking system available in the colleges. Application-based parking system is android client server operating system with a smartphone camera to scan QRCode can exist in student and employee cards. The system can also record the time of each vehicle entry and exit, and then be able to analyze and provide various reports required by the management. in addition, this application has the advantage to know the capacity of parking in the parking area.

Quick Response Code (QRCode)
QR (quick response) codes are two dimensional images that when scanned by a smart phone's camera, prompt the smart phone to open a web-page or display an image, video, numeric,or text [A]. QRcode scanner application is able to decode information encryption in QRcode [B]. QRcode is use for scanning student and employee cards. Hence this research focuses on use of user interface including navigations for enhancing efficiency of parking system.

Android
Android is a mobile device in the operating system for mobile phones based on Linux.
[X]. This android application is created using AppInventor. The android applications are developed using the Kawa Languange Framework based visual programming block. The parking information system application will be installed on smartphones that use Android-based operating system.

Architecture Design
In generally, the way the system works is to scan the card QRCode students and employees with a smartphone camera, and then encoded using the parking information system applications and matched as existing in the database. connected to single database as server. user comes to scanning QRCode for verification, if the ID card is not registered in the database, the user must perform the scanning process again, but if the user is already registered in the database then the vehicle can enter the parking area. then the system would counter, so that if there are vehicles coming later, but it is over the counter will display a notification that the parking area is full. Similar to the park entrance, the parking process out is only depending on the process of reducing the counter so that the user can know the capacity of parking of vehicles. This application system development using the linear sequential. This method is the method most widely used by software developers. This method is commonly called the waterfall method which execution of a system carried out sequentially or linearly

Ideologi behind application
This parking information system application is based on the client-server architecture. Client-server is a system that performs both the functions of client and server so as to promote the sharing of information between them. It allows many users to have access to the same database at the same time, and the database will store much information [C]. Each smartphone will be installed this parking information system applications as client The client is provided with an interactive Android based user interface for the process of pre-booking of parking slot. The server side processing will be enabled using PHP and MySQL. The client requests the server for an ID data record and the server responds with capacity and data member.

Results and Analysis
In the experiment online, the parking system application process QRCode scanning and entering a vehicle number plate takes on average 3,8 seconds.

Starting the application
The user needs to install the "PPIS" application on his Android based device. After installation, the icon of the app will feature on the Home Screen of the user's device. "PPIS" welcome screen will be flashed to the user on opening the application.

Login
There are two type of user, administrator and user. Admin charge for setting up the application, including: setting up the client smartphone used at the entrance or exit, setting up the capacity of the parking area, and in this menu can also display a track record out of the vehicle. Form, (c) Combo Button

Parking Entrance and exit
How to use the parking entry form, by pressing the scan button for scanning QRCode process, after which it will appear ID and name, then the officer to enter license plate numbers and select the save button. How to use parking out the form, by pressing the scan button for scanning QRCode process, after which it will appear the data nim, name, and license plate number, and select the save button.

Report
The button "view of data" on the form are useful admin reports to display the outgoing and incoming vehicles online for the management. From this report management can view date, time in, time out, ID and Name user and plate license number.

Conclusion
Application of this parking system capable of changing the original manual processes into automated, making it easy to manage and search for the required vehicle data, and provides the recording and reporting of entry / exit vehicle for the management. Application of this parking system takes an average of 3.8 seconds to process the entry of vehicles, from the scanning process by inputting QRCode plate number of the vehicle. whereas in a manual process by distributing parking card, takes an average of 1.5 seconds.
In terms of speed of service, the manual process is faster, but rather requires a lot of officers to give the card, lacking in terms of security, and reporting of managerial reports.

Future Scops
The system can further be enhanced by providing various options. By addition reservation online, GPS for empty space parking area by maps, payment of bill by various modes such as credit card etc.
