Survey paper on Smart Parking System based on Internet of Things

This paper proposes a Smart Parking system which provides an optimal solution for parking problem in metropolitan cities. Due to rapid increase in vehicle density especially during the peak hours of the day, it is a difficult task for the drivers to find a parking space to park their vehicles. The aim of the paper is to resolve the above mentioned issue which provides the Smart Parking system. This system uses cloud computing and Internet of Things (IOT) technology. A suitable shortest path algorithm is used to find the minimum distance between the user and each car park in the system. Thus, the waiting time of the user is minimized .The paper also introduces the usage of android application using smart phone for the interaction between the Smart Parking system and the user. RFID technology is used in this system to avoid the human intervention which minimizes the cost. Keywords— Smart Parking system, RFID Technology and Android.
