An approach for smart parking system based on cloud using IoT

Abstract

—in the most of the cities it is difficult and expensive to create more parking spaces for vehicles since the numbers of vehicles are running on the road are increasing day by day and the count of the free spaces in the cities are the same. This problem leads to congestion for parking seekers and drivers. To develop an IoT framework that targets one of the biggest challenges in modern cities, namely, Parking Management. Using embedded systems, there is an opportunity to develop new applications to solve these problems. The proposed Smart Parking solution consists mainly in the on-site deployment of an IoT solution to monitor and indicate the state of availability of each single parking space. Furthermore, this system improves the management of parking resources which is made for public, for groups of parking spaces facilitating the whole city traffic management.

INTRODUCTION Smart City is the combination of the new information technology and knowledge-based systems, based on the network combination of the Internet, telecommunications network, broadcast network, wireless network and other sensor networks where Internet of Things technology (IoT) base technology. The main features of a smart city include a high degree of information integration and a comprehensive application of information resources. The essential components of smart city development should include urban technology, smart services, and smart life. The Internet of Things is about installing sensors like RFID, IR, etc. and connecting them to the internet through specific protocols for exchanging information and communications, in order to achieve monitoring, management. Using IoT, Smart City can be formed by integrating all these features for IoT development. The Internet of Things (IoT) uses connected devices and systems to leverage data collected by embedding sensors and actuators and other physical objects. Parking is the biggest issue of smart cities. A parking lot should provide customers enough spaces to park their car, since car plays a huge role in transportation, there is need of finding out parking area to park the vehicles. By creating a new system, it can help manage and reducing the road traffic. A new system helps customers to save time in finding a parking spot. Rest this paper organized as follows.
