Overall Project consists of two main parts

1. Tracking the number of avaliable parking lots in each parking area and storing when which car parks to or leaves from a lot.

2. Sharing this avaliability information with the users (drivers) that are coming to Bilkent, according to their destination building.

Communicating with RFID Reader

• We used Java driver for event-based communication with RFID reader

• First initialize the device• Then the device sends some information when an

event occurs• Event types used: tag arrival, tag depart• Each time an event occurs, we insert required

information to our database– We record when which car enters to or exits from which

slot
