Rapid development of smart parking system with cloud-based platforms

Abstract

Smart-parking system is one of necessary component to realize the concept of smart city, especially, in the era of Internet of Things (IOT). However, the traditional way of smart-parking development would have been complex, time consuming and prohibitive. On the other hands, in attempt to accelerate the adoption of Internet of Things, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been aggressively promoted the use of web services through implementation of Platform as a Service (PaaS) as it allows simple, quick and less complex application development. Therefore, in this paper we discuss the adoption of this approach to gain rapid development of smart-parking system. Furthermore, the integration of parking sensor with IOT middleware and frontend dashboard is also highlighted in this paper.

A Survey of Smart Parking Solutions

“…Except for OSGi, cloud on big data features are also very promising. Suryady et al [109] introduced a smart parking system using cloud-based platforms. To achieve a rapid deployment, each gateway, collecting data from parking sensors, is equipped with a cellular upload link in order to store them in the cloud.…”

Smart Parking System Based on Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons With Particle Filtering

“…Utilizing smartphones for smart parking systems is also explored in [17], where Android smartphones are programmed to facilitate an automated parking system that requires little human interaction. In [18] a cloud-based smart parking system rooted in IoT is proposed. The system is comprised of three layers, a Wireless Sensor Network layer that utilizes ZigBee technology, an IoT middleware layer, and a front-end user interface layer.…”

A Real-Time Automatic Plate Recognition System Based on Optical Character Recognition and Wireless Sensor Networks for ITS

“…Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one example of technology that has been used to build ITS solutions. WSN has received considerable attention from researchers, governments and businesses due to its potential to provide easy and cost-effective solutions in many different areas [3]. Moreover, WSN can be integrated with other technologies to assist ITS services [4].…”

“…However, we refer the reader to notable works in [7,8] for detailed technical discussions of these algorithms. Regarding step (3), the main function is to isolate the foreground characters from the background within the detected license plate region. In step (4), methods are employed to try recognize the characters.…”
