SMART PARKING SYSTEM
Vehicle production has grown considerably in the last 30 years. Having more vehicles around the streets implies more fuel and time consumption and a growing demand for parking spaces. These problems can be addressed by smart parking solutions. They are one of the most popular use cases within the concept of smart city and seek to improve the quality life cycle of a city.
The architecture of smart parking solutions is mainly represented by three elements: sensors, networking protocols, and software solutions. Sensors are the most important element as they collect information and feed the whole system. Networking protocols are governed by a gateway that implements wireless IoT protocols and connect sensors to the software systems. Finally, software solutions ensure that information is available for everyone through some sort of service. For instance, people can visualize zones as red color with no parking slot available and with green color if parking slot available.
