ESP2: Embedded smart parking prototype

Abstract

The technological evolution and the frequent use of the Internet as a technology within the framework of the Internet of Things and Robotics has affected various fields such as Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, smart cities, home automation and autonomous cars. These advances applied to everyday life have facilitated the implementation of new concepts to minimize pollution, traffic jams and accidents while making life easier. In this article, we propose an intelligent parking concept based on embedded systems. In order to solve the problem of permanent traffic jams and their repercussions on large cities we have implemented this system. It is a complete platform allowing remote reservation from different platforms. It will also collect the various data obtained by parking sensors. These data will be processed and saved if necessary. This concept was first developed to highlight the feasibility and adaptability of this system in the context of smart cities. It has been realized using wireless sensor networks connected to embedded platforms. These platforms are not only connected to motors, sensors and actuators but also to servers to save data and deploy reservations. These reservations are made via web and mobile application.
