Research Poster Content
Introduction/Background/Problem/Research Area –
something to set the stage and capture the major
issue quickly – no abstract
Research Objectives: Can be stated as questions –
Make this very easy to find Research methods or techniques: Use figures and
tables to illustrate research design when
possible, flow charts to summarize causal
relationships, include statistical methods/
techniques
Research Poster Content
• Results/Findings: Be clear how research
question/objectives were addressed. Include
evidence/analysis and use tables/graphs to show
how data supports or doesn’t support the
research questions or hypothesis. OR
• Expected Results: Based on previous research
and your own approach, what do you expect
• Next Steps/Future Research:
• Conclusions: briefly restate the findings and
relevance to context or future research.
• Acknowledgments: Lab, funding, disclosures if
appropriate
Research Poster Tips
• .
The 3 blue swatches
outlined here tend to
look purple when
printed, even if they
look blue on
computer
monitor.Certain
greens and yellows
may have a gray
cast to them.
Research Poster Tips
For a blue background
in PP, it is
recommended to
use one of the blue
swatches outlined in
red. These print very
closely to what
appears on your
computer monitor

Smart Parking with Integrated Technology
Borja Burgos-Galindo, Jose Vidal,
PhD Mentor: Ryan Pirkl / Faculty Advisor: Dr. Greg Durgin
Introduction
RFID Technology
There are two things that most
individuals hate about driving:
traffic and parking. Smart Parking
is a multi-faceted approach that
uses integrated technologies,
such as RFID and “presence”
sensors, to enhance the driver’s
parking experience.
Radio-frequency
identification
(RFID)
is
an
automatic
identification method, uses RFID
tags to store and retrieve data.
Smart Parking will employ RFID
technology by
• Equipping each vehicle with
personal passive RFID tag
• Allowing entry and exit to
vehicles with tags found in the
system’s database
“Presence”
Sensors
“Presence”
sensors refer to a type
of sensor that will visually identify
occupied spaces and unoccupied
spaces.
• Create optical connection using
IR LEDs; green LED signifies
vacant space
• Vehicle
breaks
optical
connection; Red LED signifies
occupied space
Benefits
• RFID Automation

Quicker entry and exit

Card-less operation

Upgradeable features
• Statistical analysis will lead to
optimization and reduced
operation cost
• “Presence” sensors will enable
efficient parking, reducing
wasted time and traffic
• Logging statistical data of lot
usage
Future Work
Equipment
• WJ MPR6000 RFID Reader
(PCMCI Card)
• Implementation of parking
guidance system

• 915 MHz Antenna
Current Issues
• Gen2 RFID Tags
• Development of a full-scale
model
• Entry and exit from a permitted
parking area
• Locating
space
a
vacant
• Confirmation of Smart Parking’s
compatibility with existing
parking areas
parking
• Remembering the location of a
vehicle
• Creation and integration of a
system for locating a parked
vehicle

Conclusions
You may NOT change the size of
the poster (22 x 36 inches). You
may NOT change the position or
size of the logos: IOS in upper left
and GT-Intel in lower right. The
title must go on top and there
should be three to four columns
of text. The color, the font and the
content is up to you. In your intro,
you
should
motivate
your
research and explain your goals.

In general, your poster should be
neat. All figures, borders and text
should be aligned. Good luck!

Brief Explanation of figure 1.
Background
The background section should
talk about research other people
have done in this area. Be brief
and bullet some of the points.
The visual background of the
poster should not hinder reading
the text and images in the
foreground. I prefer a white
background.
