        abstract = {The increasing demand for parking space, driven by the rapid growth of car ownership, has exacerbated traffic congestion and urban planning challenges worldwide, including the Philippines. To address these issues, this study developed an Automated Parking System (APS) to manage and assist vehicles in designated parking areas through the integration of hardware circuitry, mobile applications, and cloud-based web systems.
The study utilized a descriptive-developmental research design and followed the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology. The APS system was prototyped using components such as Node MCU V3 ESP8266 controllers, RFID readers, ultrasonic sensors, and cloud connectivity via Firebase Realtime Database. The system design included schematic diagrams, circuit layouts, data flowcharts, and a mobile application interface. Solar panels provided power, while weather proof enclosures protected the hardware.
System evaluation, based on ISO/IEC 25010 standards, measured the system's Functional Suitability, Performance Efficiency, Usability, Reliability, and Security. The APS system achieved high user satisfaction across all criteria, with weighted means of 4.0, 4.12, 4.35, 4.22, and 4.45, respectively, indicating its functionality, efficiency, reliability, and security.
The findings demonstrate the APS system's potential to mitigate parking challenges and improve urban transport efficiency. Recommendations for enhancing the system include increasing antenna height for better connectivity, improving master station reliability, and integrating the APS system into digital city initiatives for broader applicability.},
