Student Vehicle Identification Using Near Field Communication Technology

The purpose of this project is to develop a mobile application using NFC technology in order to assist security officers of Unit Keselamatan in UiTM Perlis branch. The main objective of the developed mobile application is to detect fake and stolen student vehicle stickers. Prior the development of the mobile application, security officers have no specific technique in detecting fake and stolen student vehicle stickers. Actions were only taken once complaints are received from the victims. NFC as defined by Vasquez-Briseno, Hirata et al. (2012) is a limited range high frequency wireless communication technology that allows the transfer of data among devices at distances lower than 10cm. NFC technology is a specialized subset within the family of RFID technology. The mobile application which is designed based on Automatic Identification Data Capture (AIDC) was later evaluated by ten security officers on its usability through questionnaire. Questions from the questionnaire are designed to evaluate several aspects including compatibility, content, navigation, interface design and general feedback. The results show that the officers are happy the developed mobile application as the application offers more than identifying stolen and fake vehicle stickers

ParkIt - Plataforma inteligente de estacionamiento público

Cities across the world are constantly growing, and the traffic infrastructure of many of them starts to reach its maximum capacity. Different points of these cities are negatively affected by the vast amount of vehicles that try to access congested zones, and that oftenly makes finding an on-street parking spot where to park a car a difficult task. In this context the ParkIt project is developed, which is a platform that offers real-time information about on-street parking availability. This platform optimises the use of free parking spots, and reduces the incurred delays while in search of them. By knowing the location of available parking spots, users of this platform find themselves less times looking for a parking spot, contributing to reduce traffic in up to 30%.A nivel mundial las ciudades tienen un crecimiento cada vez mayor, y en muchos casos la infraestructura de tránsito que permite la movilización de su población comienza a llegar a su capacidad máxima. Distintos puntos de estas ciudades se ven afectados de una forma negativa por la gran cantidad de vehículos que intentan acceder a zonas congestionadas constantemente, y eso hace que encontrar un estacionamiento público donde aparcar el automóvil muchas veces sea dificultoso. En este marco surge el proyecto ParkIt, una plataforma que brinda información en  tiempo real acerca de la disponibilidad de estacionamiento en la vía pública. Esta plataforma permite obtener el máximo provecho de cada plaza de estacionamiento disponible, y disminuir los retrasos ocasionados por la búsqueda de las mismas. Al tener conocimiento de la ubicación de lugares disponibles, los usuarios de la plataforma se encontrarán menos tiempo en búsqueda activa de estacionamiento, lo que ayuda a descongestionar estas zonas.&nbsp
