Abstract
his project aims to develop a comprehensive Vehicle
T
Management System (VMS) using Python, designed to
streamline the management of vehicles within organizations,
rental services, or fleet operations. The system enables
efficient data management by maintaining records of vehicle
details, owner information, service history, and availability
status. Users canregisternewvehicles,updateexistingdata,
andretrieveinformationthroughauser-friendlyinterface.The
project leverages Python's libraries fordatabaseintegration,
ensuring secure and scalable data storage. Additionally, it
includes features for real-time notifications for vehicle
maintenance, optimized search functionalities, and
customizable reports to improve decision-making. The
proposed VMS aims to reduce administrative overhead,
improve operational efficiency, and enhance the overalluser
experience.

Problem Definition
fficiently managing vehicle parking in large-scale or
E
multi-locationfacilitiesisacomplexchallengeduetolimited
parking spaces, variable vehicle types, dynamic billing
requirements, and the need for accurate data tracking.
Traditional methods rely heavily on manual intervention,
which can result in errors, operational inefficiencies, and
unsatisfactoryuserexperiences.Additionally,modernparking
facilities often require features like space allocation
optimization, real-time monitoring, and revenue analytics,
which manual processes cannot adequately handle.
Efficient parking management faces challenges like:
>Limited space utilization for different vehicle types.
>Manual tracking leading to errors in billing and operations.
Contents
>Inability to dynamically calculate parking fees and penalties.

Software Requirements
o run this project, the following software and tools are
T
required:
• P ython: Version 3.x (The code uses Python's
built-in-functions).
• d atetime: – Used to manage parking timestamps,
calculate the duration, and determine total cost.
• O perating System: The program can run on any
platform that supports Python, including Windows,
macOS, and Linux.

Implementation
he implementation of the vehicle parking management
T
involves the following key steps:
● Define the vehicle Class:
○ Stores details like vehicle ID, brand, model, year,
vehicle type, and automatically logs parking time.
○ Calculates billing based on predefined rates
Implement theParkingManagementSystem Class:
○ A llows creation and management of multiple
parking lots.
○ Facilitates interaction through a menu-driven
interface.
● Automate Billing Logic:
○ Computes parking duration dynamically using
timestamps.
● Add Data Export Functionality:
○ Exports parking data to CSV for record-keeping.
● Enhance User Interface:
○ Implements an interactive CLI (Command Line
Interface).

Output
he program simulates a Vehicle Management System that
T
managesparkingspaces,calculatesbilling,andtracksvehicle
details. Here's the expected output in words based on the
program flow:
1.Adding a Vehicle:
When a vehicle is added, it automatically logs the
~
current date and time and updates the remaining parking
spaces.
~Example Output:
Vehicle added successfully!
2.Viewing Vehicles:
Lists all the parked vehicles with their details such as
~
ID, brand, model, year, type, and parking date and time.
~Example Output:
I D: V001, Brand: Honda, Model: Activa, Year:
2020, Type: bike, Parking DateTime: 2025-04-10 11:45:23
3.Removing a Vehicle and Calculating Bill:
Removes a vehicle by its ID, calculates the total
~
duration it was parked, and provides the total cost based on
10
12
rates (, , and ).
~Example Output:
Billing for Vehicle ID: V001
Total Duration: 3.50 hours
Total Cost: 70.00 Rs
Vehicle removed successfully!
4.Viewing Remaining Parking Space:
Displays the number of parking spaces left out of the
~
total allocated space.
~Example Output:
Remaining parking spaces: 998
5.Exit Message:
~Ends the program with a friendly exit message.
~Example Output:
Exiting the system. Goodbye!
