@thesis{thesis, author={Maulidz Arief Agus Ainur}, title ={Designing a real-time parking system for malls in Malang}, year={2017}, url={https://eprints.unmer.ac.id/id/eprint/170/}, abstract={Real-time parking system is a computer-based system that organizes a parking area and able to provide information about the availability of parking space. This final report is intended to explain about real-time parking system designed by the writer. Real-time parking system designed by the writer has additional useful feature compared to other computer-based parking systems. Basically, its mechanism is the same with other computer-based parking systems; the parking man types the parking data into a computer and the data will be automatically reported to the manager through a Local Area Network (LAN). Some malls in Malang already use computer-based parking system, such as MX Mall, Cyber Mall, and Malang City Point. The writer conducted self-observation in MX mall to understand the mechanism of this parking system. When the writer was there, he found a problem. If the parking lot was almost full, visitors were difficult to find a vacant parking space. Therefore, real-time feature of the writer?s program can overcome that problem. In fact, there is another real-time parking system, Bosch?s program, that has similar ability with the writer?s real-time parking system. However, in terms of cost management, the writer?s real-time parking system is better since it does not involve additional devices. So, in the writer?s opinion, the writer?s real-time parking system can be a better means to overcome that problem.} }
