Relative location estimation of vehicles in parking management system

In this paper, an automatic parking management system is designed using active Radio Frequency Identification technology along with WiFi wireless LAN. An algorithm is also developed for the localization of the cars parked inside the parking area. The localization process is done in two steps using Time Difference of Arrival and Received Signal Strength measurements, respectively. The system can automatically monitor, guide and localize the cars inside the parking space.
