Modern parking solutions for smart cities

Abstract

The increasing number of urban areas conditioned by increasing number of people has led to significant innovations in the concept of living. The implementation and widespread use of modern technologies have enabled the rapid development of the smart cities. As population growth is accompanied by an increase in the number of cars and other vehicles, one of the most important problems facing cities is the development of an efficient parking system. Today's biggest problem in big cities is finding free parking spot, but also it is important to consider problems that arise in form of: longer time spent on cruising for parking, which increases pollution through the emission of CO2, more frequent traffic accidents, and a higher level of requests regarding the maintenance of traffic infrastructure. In order to successfully solve these problems with the adequate use of modern and advanced technologies, it is necessary to establish an effective planning system by the innovative parking management. This paper aims to show and compare some of the most important parking solutions in modern cities, as well as the use of advanced technologies for this purpose.
