Abstract
To meet the explosive need of tra c optimization in and around market areas, the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) was adopted to curb this challenge. The WSNs consisting of sensor nodes and networks as we know o ers powerful services such as sensing, computing and communicating. Until now, there had been several approaches of vehicle detection, but this work proposes an approach of the Market Parking System (MPS) using WSNs. The system detects vehicle as it approaches the lot, di erentiates what vehicle class category it falls under. it also monitors the state of the parking space by already deployed sensor nodes buried in each of the parking space. After accurate detection of the vehicle the Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol of the WSNs is used to route the information as regard the parking lot to the base station, and the availability of parking spaces would be known by the administrator. All results, methods and techniques was simulated and veri ed using MATLAB.
