In this study, a real-time parking lot guidance system with vehicle navigation functions was designed to enable users to search for available parking lots and obtain real time parking information regarding parking lots near their current locations, including the precise location, distance, and remaining spaces of parking lots. This facilitates substantially enhancing the convenience of drivers and decreasing time expended in searching or waiting for parking spaces. The proposed system is displayed through a webpage and coded using languages including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and JSP. Parking lot information is stored in a MySQL database, and relevant data are transmitted through mobile networks. The navigation panel uses Google Map service to display dynamic guidance, which differs from static guidance provided by typical mapping websites. In addition, the proposed system is Applicable to various operating systems, and map downloads and updates are not required, thereby decreasing the memory use of an operating system. Overall, the proposed system is advantageous for its easy operation and clear functionality.
