An exploration study for intelligent U-parking system — Case study within HWC campus

A Zigbee-based campus applications framework was published last year. This paper actually inherits that and uses G.A. to decided optimal Zigbee topology which explains in section 4.2. The related test and evaluation results in section 4.3 explain how to deploy an optimal Zigbee parking topology in the case campus. To Use Zigbee techniques as a back bone to develop ubiquitous applications has been warming up while current I.T. evolution moving from electrification to mobilization. However, most successful business cases still rely on mobile tools, such as PDA, WIFI, and GPS, to realize the concept of ubiquitous. The main challenges ahead for making real U-applications on the market are not only the definitions of zigbee specifications and protocols, but the related optimal database build-up and topology design methods. This paper aims to explore the necessary considerations between the gaps within ubiquitous information systems analysis and zigbee devices layout design using GA approach which could direct the right path for database arrangement. This follows the system development life cycle (SDLC) to identify a zigbee wireless network´s optimal topology, data flows, and related database design. The case study was undertaken within Hsing-Wu college campus. This ensures the scenario based experiment design could be practical for the further applications. The main objectives are to build up a U-campus prototype to allow teachers and students getting more interactively information being everywhere. This system could benefit users to find services without asking. The research results reveal that using zigbee to build up U-campus parking applications are less manpower, capital assets, build-up time than the fixed intranet services. The scenario-based planning, analysis, design and test are realistic for students to realize how to implement an I.T. system in practice. The zigbee geometric placements are testing by three approaches, star, mesh and snowflakes which show the- - flexibility of zigbee wireless network.
