Abstract
Car park management in Nigeria is largely manual, inefficient, and insecure, often relying on handwritten tickets and rope-operated barriers. These methods, coupled with an unreliable power infrastructure, lead to significant congestion and safety risks. This project addresses these challenges through the design and fabrcation of a cost-effective, solar-powered, automated car park access control system. The system architecture is based on a Master/Slave configuration using two ESP32 microcontrollers that communicate via the ESP-NOW protocol. The Master ESP32 serves as the central "brain," handling RFID authentication and image capture via an ESP32 camera. Upon an access attempt, the system immediately captures the driver's image and validates the RFID tag against a local database stored on an SD card. This process creates a secure visual audit trail by logging all attempts (granted or denied) with a timestamp and the corresponding image. The Slave ESP32 manages the physical "muscle", controlling the barrier's geared motor and monitoring an ultrasonic sensor for vehicle safety

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of automated teller machine (ATM) on customers’ satisfaction. The objectives of the study was: to ascertain how Automated Teller Machine (ATM) enhances customer’s satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City; to examine the influence of ATM service quality on customer’s satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City; to examine the influence of ATM proximity on customer’s satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City, and to ascertain the impact of ATM security and privacy on customer’s satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City. The study made use of the cross sectional research design, and questionnaire which was made up of well-framed series of questions related to the research topic was used for data collection. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis. The linear regression (ANOVA) analysis was used to test the close relationship between the variables and also tested the hypotheses of the study. The analysis was conducted using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS 22) software. Findings from the study revealed that there exist a significant relationship between ATM usage and customers’ satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City; there is a significant relationship between ATM service quality and customers’ satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City; there is a significant relationship between ATM proximity
and customers’ satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City; and there is a significant relationship between ATM security/privacy and customers’ satisfaction in Ovia North-East LGA, Benin City.
