The misuse of parking spaces designated for Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) remains a persistent issue, causing inconvenience and limiting accessibility for individuals with disabilities. This project presents the design and development of an Electronic OKU Parking Alarm Security System, aimed at ensuring that only authorized users occupy these reserved parking areas. 

      The proposed system utilizes a combination of RFID technology, ultrasonic or infrared sensors, and a microcontroller (such as Arduino) to detect the presence of vehicles and verify user authorization. When a vehicle enters the designated parking space, the system scans for a valid RFID tag assigned to registered OKU users. If unauthorized access is detected, an alarm system consisting of a buzzer and LED indicators is activated to alert nearby individuals and enforcement personnel.

            In addition, the system can be enhanced through Internet of Things (IoT) integration, enabling real-time monitoring and notifications via mobile applications or web platforms. This feature allows authorities to track parking violations efficiently and take immediate action when necessary.

            The development of this system follows a structured methodology, including problem identification, system design, hardware integration, programming, and testing. Experimental testing demonstrates that the system is capable of accurately detecting vehicle presence and differentiating between authorized and unauthorized users with high reliability.

            In conclusion, the Electronic OKU Parking Alarm Security System provides a cost-effective, efficient, and user-friendly solution to address the issue of parking misuse. The implementation of this system not only improves accessibility for OKU individuals but also promotes social awareness and responsibility within the community.
