Abstract:
Vehicle parking plays a key role in our modern life. Currently, automatic parking towers have attracted much research due to its high space-efficiency. Remote management of a parking tower provides the functions for human to perform monitoring and control via a specific network. From a system point of view, an automatic parking tower is inherently a discrete event system. For such systems, this paper has realized a Java-based management system to provide cross-platform remote access via various devices. In the present approach, Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) are used to model the operated behaviors so as to result in a more compact structure. A prototype of an eight-space parking tower is designed and implemented to show the feasibility of the developed approach. It is believed that the technique presented in this paper could be further applied to large-scale parking systems.
