Design of An IoT based Smart Parking Lock

Abstract

In recent years, the rapid growth of vehicles has led to a great increase in the demand for parking spaces, unmanaged car parks makes it difficult to efficiently utilize the limited parking resources. To solve this problem, an intelligent parking lock system based on the Internet of things (IoT) is designed and implemented in this paper. Our design incorporates the IoT technology, such as LORA wireless network, to carry out real-time monitoring of the parking space and offer remote control ability of the parking lock. The application of our smart parking lock includes time sharing rental of parking space. Our design can improve utilization of the parking space and help to ease the problem of parking space shortage.
