The issue of illegal parking in various urban areas often causes traffic congestion, disorder, and economic losses for official parking operators. One of the main causes of this phenomenon is the weakness of parking management systems and the lack of effective supervision. To address this issue, this research designs and develops an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)-based parking payment system as a solution. Traditional parking payment systems, which often still rely on cash payments, also frequently cause problems such as transaction delays, difficulties in providing change, and dependence on small denominations. These issues can lead to inconvenience for parking users and increase the risk of errors in the payment process. To address these problems, this research designs and builds an RFID-based parking payment system. This research uses the Prototype Method, which is a software development method focusing on the creation of an initial version of the system to be developed, ensuring that the resulting solution can work well, meet user needs, and be successfully implemented in a real-world environment. Based on the research findings, the RFID parking payment tool functions well. The results show that the RFID-based parking payment system is an effective solution for improving efficiency in parking payments.

The shipping industry is closely related to economic growth in various countries. This transportation is very dependent on export and import activities. As the country's economy improves, especially in Asia, the maritime transportation business in Indonesia will also develop. The pattern of sending goods via sea transportation has changed, especially in terms of bulk transportation. which demands modern technology such as automation and intelligent control systems. This research aims to design and develop Android-based spreader control using Arduino Mega 2560 on a floating ship. This project is designed to increase efficiency and ease of operation in the loading and unloading process on ships, which previously still used manual control with a remote control or joystick which had limitations such as limited visibility. In this research, the spreader control system is connected to an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller via the HC-05 Bluetooth module, allowing the operator to control the spreader via an Android device. Test results show that data is obtained at a distance of 1 to 13 meters, the Android-based spreader control system shows a response time ranging from 1 to 9 seconds, which shows that the system is functioning properly. At a distance of 14 to 19 meters, the response time increases to 18 seconds, indicating quite good system performance. This shows that there is quite significant latency in data transmission. However, the system still managed to carry out spreader control well. At 20 meters, the system failed to respond to the spreader control. This shows that the effective range of this Bluetooth module is below 15 meters. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of automatic control technology in the shipping industry, especially in the use of intelligent control systems integrated with mobile devices.
