In this study, we created a system that can determine the number of vehicles entering and departing a charging station in real time for solving waiting time problems during refueling. Accordingly, we use the You Only Look Once object detection algorithm to detect and count the number of vehicles in the charging station and send the data to the Firebase Realtime Database. The result is shown using an Android application that provides a map function with the Kakao Maps API at the user interface side. Our system has an accuracy of 91% and an average response time of 3.1 s. Therefore, this system can be used by drivers to determine the availability of a charging station and to identify the charging station with the least waiting time for charging their vehicle.

COVID-19, which occurred in 2019, has a strong contagious power, has serious symptoms of infection and after-effects, and death in severe cases depending on the underlying disease and symptoms. As COVID-19 is highly contagious, in Korea, screening clinics have been set up across the country to determine whether or not to be positive for COVID-19 and isolate the infected to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, there are cases where COVID-19 test applicants flock to screening clinics and cannot receive tests due to longer waiting times, and there is a risk that secondary infections may occur in the atmosphere. In this study, the reservation and notification system can be applied from the existing screening care system to solve spatial constraints, reducing waiting time with screening appointments, and solving population bottlenecks to screening clinics. Taking the COVID-19 pandemic as an experience, we propose a system that can present directions in future pandemic situations. To process real-time data, we use Google's Firebase to use Realtime Database in the cloud environment. Because a real-time database is used, users can check the status of screening clinics in real time through the app, make reservations, and receive notifications about test reservations.
