AN OVERVIEW OF IOT BASED SMART PARKING SPACE

Abstract

Recently, the notion of smart cities has gained attention. The vision of a smart city now seems to be possible due to the evolution of the Internet of Things. To optimize the efficiency and reliability of urban infrastructure, consistent efforts are being made in the field of IoT. The IoT tackles issues such as traffic congestion, insufficient car parking facilities, and road safety. We present a cloud-based IoT integrated smart parking system in this paper. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site IoT module implementation that is used to track and report the availability status of each single parking space. A mobile application is also provided that allows an end user to check the parking space availability and book a parking space accordingly. The paper also defines a high-level view of the design of the system. In the end, the paper addresses the functioning of the scheme in the context of a use case that shows the correctness of the model proposed.
