An Integrated Approach Toward Smart Parking Implementation for Smart Cities in India

Abstract

This paper discusses an integrated approach toward smart parking implementation for smart cities in India using radar detection and ultrasonic technology. The aim of this research is to develop an autonomous parking system which could reduce traffic congestion and toxic emission from vehicles and also make it easier for customers to find a place to park during peak hours, hence saving their time. The autonomous parking system will have minimum amount of human interaction, and all the data will be sent directly to a cloud server wirelessly using a Wi-Fi module. In addition to that, the interface will also guide the customer to an available parking space. The paper discusses a system that can perform real-time monitoring of parking space availability by individual space and can be embedded in software. The software will raise a system alert when the number of vehicles in transit and more exceeds. The project can be implemented in various situations in places like schools, colleges, institutions, etc., and can provide an end-to-end solution for a safe parking mechanism with low-cost maintenance.
