100% Accuracy (80/80) · ₱7,544 BOM
01 Problem
Traditional campus and municipal parking management relies on manual attendant patrols or high-cost commercial sensor systems, leading to high hardware expenditures and traffic congestion during peak occupancy turnover.
02 Approach
Wireless parking space detector integrating low-cost solar ESP8266 ultrasonic proximity nodes with an edge YOLOv5 vision gate on a Raspberry Pi 4B. Evaluated across 80 live field trials at UST-Legazpi with 100% detection accuracy across both occupied and vacant states, 72.02% average model confidence, and 15.04s detection time at ₱7,544 total 4-slot hardware BOM.
03 Result
Solar-powered ESP8266 ultrasonic trigger nodes paired with a Raspberry Pi 4B YOLOv5 vision gate for real-time campus parking occupancy detection.
