Abstract

This thesis presents the development of an automated smart parking system, based on NFC/RFID user identification. The system integrates sensors, actuator mechanisms, a programmable controller, and visual indicators of occupancy. Special emphasis is placed on PCB design, software architecture and 3D model prototyping. The system also supports external control, enhancing its functional capabilities. The paper describes all development phases – from hardware organization and communication protocols, through software algorithms, to 3D model design and the application for external management.
