Towards the Development of a Smart Parking System for Highly Populated Cities

Thanks to innovative sensing systems for smart cities that integrate the future into the present, civilization is through one of its brief transitional phases. The congestion of urban areas necessitates the creation of an adaptable strategy formulation that integrates architecture, creativity, and technology to accommodate paradigm change. A unique sensor approach that is the foundation of a smart parking system (SPS) is provided to enhance accessibility in municipalities with an increasing vehicle pool. The SPS consists of a small single-board computer, a proximity sensor, a camera, a LED indication, a buzzer, and a battery and is designed to determine the availability of a parking spot. This smart transportation technology comprises three major components, specifically sensors, a mobile application, and a monitoring centre, all of which collaborate to monitor, regulate, analyze, and show real-time parking spot information to drivers. Also, the design and execution of the three components of the overall system are shown.
