A Trust-Based Secure Parking Allocation for IoT-Enabled Sustainable Smart Cities

Abstract

Smart parking is a crucial component of smart cities that aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban environments. It employs technology such as sensors and IoT devices to optimize the use of parking resources and improve drivers’ experiences. By reducing traffic congestion, decreasing air pollution, and enhancing accessibility, smart parking systems can contribute to the overall well-being of urban areas. IoT-enabled smart parking refers to the application of IoT technology to optimize and improve parking efficiency in smart cities. However, security and privacy challenges in IoT-enabled smart parking pose risks and concerns related to the collection and use of data by parking systems, such as unauthorized access or misuse of data, potential data breaches, and the need to ensure responsible data collection and usage to maintain user trust and confidence. To address these challenges, we propose a novel hybrid approach to trust management using machine learning algorithms to enhance the security and privacy of the system. Our approach consists of SVM and ANNs, taking into account credibility, availability, and honesty as key parameters. Furthermore, we use ensemble machine learning to select the best-predicted model from different trained models, leading to efficient performance and a trustworthy environment. Our results show that the proposed hybrid SVM classifier with a trust parameters approach achieved an accuracy of 96.43% in predicting and eliminating malicious or compromised nodes.

“…The edge sets E 1 = {(2,3), (3,4), (4,8)} , E 2 = {(5,6), (6,7), (7,8)} , E 3 = { (10,11), (11,12), (12,13)} , and E 4 = { (10,14), (14,15), (15,13)} represent four peripheral arterial roads within the graph g0. The directional orientation of these edges is consistently maintained to ensure connectivity across the network.…”

“…Recent advancements in connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and intelligent roadside devices have introduced novel and viable solutions to these issues. Research concerning CAVs within parking environments encompasses various dimensions, including the allocation of parking resources [6,7], management of parking operations [8,9], and dynamic scheduling of parking assets [10,11], which collectively enhance the efficiency of parking resource utilization from the perspective of the vehicle.…”
