Real-time Location Based Shared Smart Parking System

Abstract

With the growth in population, traffic congestion and parking have become a serious problem. There is the explosive growth of the per capita amount of vehicles. In this paper, a Location-Based Shared Smart Parking System is proposed to solve the parking problem. This system is designed for both private and public parking areas. This system helps the user to find the nearest possible parking area and gives the information related to the availability of parking slots in that respective parking area. The main focus of this system is to reduce the time for finding the parking slot and also avoids unnecessary travelling through occupied parking slots in a parking area. The proposed system is designed using IoT technology, WSN(IR sensors), QR code and RFID technology. IR sensors are used to detect the presence of the car in the parking slot and QR code is used to authenticate the user in the public parking area, RFID technology is used to authenticate the user in private parking area. The system is expected to reduce traffic problems, fuel consumption which results in reduces carbon footprints in an atmosphere.

“…Moreover, a vehicle smart routing system was a useful tool for assessing how air pollution caused by vehicles could be minimized by taking ecosystem services (green areas) into account [22]. Even if the impact on the environment in a real-time location based shared smart parking system was not assessed, it is found to be useful time saving solution for air pollution and efficient traffic management [25,26].…”

“…The potential of reducing GHG emissions by using dynamic trip-planning and ticketing services, on-demand minibuses, and first-and last-mile ridesharing in Mexico City, London and San Francisco has been analyzed by Canales et al [24]. Moreover, several authors discussed the benefits of real-time location-based shared smart parking systems for large areas [25,26]. Research finds that smart mobility provides solutions for these fields of action, namely for air pollution [27][28][29][30], by creating new opportunities for businesses and research institutes [31].…”
