IoT based smart parking system

TLDR

Smart cities have become popular, and the evolution of the Internet of Things is enabling solutions to urban challenges such as traffic congestion, limited parking, and road safety. This paper proposes an IoT‑based, cloud‑integrated smart parking system. The system deploys an on‑site IoT module to monitor individual parking space availability, a mobile app for users to view and reserve spots, and a high‑level architectural design. A use‑case demonstration confirms the system’s correct operation.

Abstract

In recent times the concept of smart cities have gained grate popularity. Thanks to the evolution of Internet of things the idea of smart city now seems to be achievable. Consistent efforts are being made in the field of IoT in order to maximize the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure. Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking facilities and road safety are being addressed by IoT. In this paper, we present an IoT based cloud integrated smart parking system. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site deployment of an IoT module that is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of each single parking space. A mobile application is also provided that allows an end user to check the availability of parking space and book a parking slot accordingly. The paper also describes a high-level view of the system architecture. Towards the end, the paper discusses the working of the system in form of a use case that proves the correctness of the proposed model.
