Project Plan: Edith Cowan University Number Plate Recognition System

This project plan outlines the development of a Number Plate Recognition and Facilities Management System, designed for Edith Cowan University's Mount Lawley campus. The project leverages existing CCTV infrastructure and OpenALPR software on Raspberry Pi devices. The plan details project phases including planning, system design, execution, and closure, with a comprehensive schedule, resource allocation, and Gantt chart. It includes specifications, deliverables, and a breakdown of tasks, dates, and effort. The document also covers resource allocation, project milestones, and a bibliography of relevant project management resources. This project aims to improve facilities management by automating vehicle identification and access control, providing valuable insights into campus traffic and parking utilization.
