Smart Garage Utilizing Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

People in urban regions face a daily problem finding parking slot for their vehicles. So, this study develops a network architecture based on Internet of Things platform. A system improves the efficiency of the current cloud-based smart-parking system. This study suggested a system that assists users in automatically finding a free parking space at the lowest cost. With an application, a user can request to reserve a parking slot. The application moves a driver directly into the free slot in a garage. Also, it utilizes the distance and total number of free spaces in each garage to determine the user nearest parking slot and cost. The garage slot cost will be charged by user credit once the user entered the garage or reserved a parking slot through the application. The system proposed a novel system which picks up a parking slot, reserves, and pays for it through mobile application. The proposed system can easily be deployed in the actual world.
