System Vision Document
Problem Description
The scenario here is the construction of the new and innovative Collin’s Car Parking
System such that the car parking can be maintained properly. The Collin’s Car Parking
System is a Melbourne based car parking system that aims to provide various facilities to the
customers. It has differentiated facilities provided for different types of customers such as
those of regular customer who pay the bill each time they utilize the car parking and other
customers who are fixed ones who pay some fixed amount in advance such that they would
park their vehicles for weeks, months and year (Kotb et al., 2016). The ordinary ticket issued
is for a smaller duration of time. The car parking system is autonomous, as the arrival of the
car is detected by the presence of the sensor. However, the numbers of car parking systems
are less thus; there is a great demand for the Collin’s Car Parking System. Moreover, the car
parking system is easy and simple to be handled by the users.
The autonomous car parking system is highly efficient and creates hassle free car
parking facilities for the citizens of Melbourne. The car parking system also keeps a
regulatory check on the network connections (Mahmud et al., 2013). the parking system
poses a limit on the number of cars that can be parked. Thus, the expansion of the business
would bring in huge amount of benefits to the Collin’s.
The construction of the car parking system requires a sensor under the road surface so
as to detect the approaching car. It also requires buttons that must be pressed for the ticket
generation. Printer is also required for printing the ticket and a control pillar for displaying
instructions to the user. System software is also needed as it maintains the count of the car as
well as software that maintains the entire process from ticket generation to the exit of the user
from the park (Ma & Mohammed, 2014). Other requirements include the slot for inserting the
fixed ticket and software for keeping a check on the validity of the fixed ticket. A barrier is

3COLLIN’S CAR PARKING SYSTEM
required for permitting the entrance and exit of the car from the parking (Palevičius et al.,
2013). Moreover, it requires security measures to maintain the details of the fixed customers
appropriately. A payment section is also required that would deal with the payment methods.
Moreover, the payment section is digitalized involving digital payment via card, which
requires more enhanced security measures (Myers, Garrison & Carlson, 2017). The other
constraint in the business is the low availability if the land available.
Car Parking System capabilities
The car parking system is incorporated with various features that make the car
parking facility very enhanced and simple to be utilized by the users. Some of the capabilities
of the Collin’s Car Parking System are mentioned below:
 Capability to accommodate huge number of cars in a small space.
 Optimized car parking system.
 Safety measures for the details of the fixed customers.
 The expected delay in the parking and retrieval of car is not more than 5 minutes.
 Eco friendly car parking system.
 The ticket booking is simpler to use.
 The sensor based detection of car is fast and accurate.
 Minimum delay is encountered.
 Accessing of the car parking system of Collin’s is simple and convenient.
Business Benefits
The number of the car parking system in Melbourne is low thus the customers do not
find proper way to park their cars. Hence, the business of the car parking system would gain
immense profit to the Collin’s. Moreover, the simplicity of the usage of the car parking
system also encompasses huge number of customers which further incorporated more
customers and hence gains more profit (Stefik et al., 2014). Furthermore, the expansion of the

4COLLIN’S CAR PARKING SYSTEM
car parking system will also enhance the business as it will further attract more number of
customers. The other car parking system have no provision for the protection and security of
the customers data but the security of the data of the fixed customers by the Collin’s car
parking system also enhances the confidence of the customers and attracts a huge number of
customers, thus providing huge amount of benefits to the company (Patil & Bhonge, 2013).
The much advanced processing of the system also adds on to more number of
customers. The car parking system also keeps a regular check on the working condition of the
machines and sensors such that the users do not face any problems. The expansion of the
Collins car parking system would also increase the number of customers as there are a few
car parking facilities available (Barone et al., 2013). It provides easy booking of the tickets
not only for shorter interval of time but also for longer durations can be extended up to a
year’s time. The upgradation to the android application also creates huge number of
customers (Bonde et al., 2014)

Resources Required
The construction and maintenance of the Collin’s Car parking system requires various
resources that are mentioned below:
 Infrastructure
 Availability of land
 Administrative team
 Management team
 The policy makers of the car parking system.
 Maintenance team
 Accounts department
 A team to view and incorporate the customer review
 Dispute handling team
Risks involved in the Collin’s Car Parking System
There are various risks involved in the Collin’s car parking system. The major risk
with the car parking business is the lack of land availability. There may be instances of
shortage of land and thus the proper infrastructure could not be created. Moreover, there may
be instances of data breaches as advanced security procedures are not implemented such as
encryption to secure the data (Kitchin, 2016). In addition to these issues, there may be
instances of the system failure in which the system would be incapable of generating tickets
or other system faults that may create havoc for the customers.

Proposed Outcomes
The presence of ATM system would provide numerous facilities to the customers. It
would enable them to book tickets and allots the parking areas to them. The secure and
proper cars parking system attracts huge number of customers and thereby gains huge profits.
Moreover, the facilities provided by the car parking system attract huge number of customers.
In addition to these factors the cost for the car parking is also low, thus provides an eye
catching scenario to the customers.
