Smart Park: Innovating the Future of Vehicle Parking

Effective parking solutions become increasingly important as urban areas increase because of wasted space, time-consuming searches, and traffic congestion. By utilizing cutting edge technologies to improve parking management and user experience, the Smart Vehicle Parking System (SVPS) tackles these issues. To deliver dynamic solutions, SVPS combines sophisticated algorithms, sensor networks, and real-time data. Parking space sensors track occupancy and transmit data to a central system, where machine learning maximizes space distribution and directs vehicles to open spaces. This smart parking system is software and hardware based. Different algorithms are used to find vacant slots using machine learning and deep learning. IR sensors, RFID, Servomotors and ESP 32 microcontrollers and Internet of things are useful to find vacant slots in real time signal processing. In traditional method it is difficult to search free space, and this method is time consuming, Smart parking system overcome this problem with new technology and improve parking management system. The SVPS not only improves urban mobility but also contributes to reducing vehicle emissions and enhanced overall efficiency.

A WSN and vision based smart, energy efficient, scalable, and reliable parking surveillance system with optical verification at edge for resource constrained IoT devices

As urbanization accelerates, the demand for efficient parking surveillance solutions has increased. However, existing solutions often face challenges related to energy consumption, scalability, and reliability. This paper introduces a smart hybrid parking surveillance system integrating wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with vision based solution at the edge for resource constrained IoT devices to address these challenges. The solution leverages WSNs for periodic readings of parking space occupancy and introduces a low power sleep mode in the network for energy efficiency, along with optical verification strategies using computer vision models like R-CNN and Faster R-CNN FPN on ResNet50 and MobileNetv2 backbones for distinguishing between true and false positives in the WSN data for a greater accuracy in parking space occupancy. The system utilizes edge for computing on edge servers resulting in increased responsiveness of the system, reduced data transmission and real time processing of data. The proposed solution is formulated in such a way that it automatically switches between WSN and vision based sensing resulting in less energy consumption and longer lifespan of the system without compromising on accuracy. Through experimental results it is observed that models trained on the MobileNetv2 backbone demonstrated at least twice faster for both processing the images and training compared to those models trained on the ResNet backbone. On the other hand, both Faster R-CNN FPN (input resolution: 1440) and R-CNN (input resolution: 128) models trained on the MobileNetv2 backbone have slightly lower accuracies than the same models trained on the ResNet50 backbone.

Path Planning Algorithms for Smart Parking: Review and Prospects

Path planning algorithms are crucial components in the process of smart parking. At present, there are many path planning algorithms designed for smart parking. A well-designed path planning algorithm has a significant impact on the efficiency of smart parking. Firstly, this paper comprehensively describes the principles and steps of four types of path planning algorithms: the Dijkstra algorithm (including its optimized derivatives), the A* algorithm (including its optimized derivatives), the RRT (Rapidly exploring Random Trees) algorithm (including its optimized derivatives), and the BFS (Breadth First Search) algorithm. Secondly, the Dijkstra algorithm, the A* algorithm, the BFS algorithm, and the Dynamic Weighted A* algorithm were utilized to plan the paths required for the process of smart parking. During the analysis, it was found that the Dijkstra algorithm had the drawbacks of planning circuitous paths and taking too much time in the path planning for smart parking. Although the traditional A* algorithm based on the Dijkstra algorithm had greatly reduced the planning time, the effect of path planning was still unsatisfactory. The BFS (Breadth First Search) algorithm had the shortest planning time among the four algorithms, but the paths it plans were unstable and not optimal. The Dynamic Weighted A* algorithm could achieve better path planning results, and with adjustments to the weight values, this algorithm had excellent adaptability. This review provides a reference for further research on path planning algorithms in the process of smart parking.

Smart Cities towards Artificial Intelligence

The creation of smart cities has come a long way in recent years, especially in domains that use AI, such IoT-based components, security systems, smart living options, and environmental monitoring. These advancements seek to build surroundings that meet human requirements by utilizing cutting edge technologies such as automated parking, smart healthcare, and seismic monitoring systems. Even with these encouraging advancements, the current generation of smart cities is still unable to attain genuine autonomy, particularly when it comes to component-level autonomous situation management and decision-making. The transformational perspective proposed in this work views the constituent components of smart environments as self-governing agents with the ability to make decisions. The purpose of these autonomous agents is to improve security and smart living by being able to self-manage and react automatically to different situations. Such autonomous agents can be integrated to accomplish the goal of artificially intelligent smart cities. In smart cities, autonomous agents may behave pro-actively without human involvement by continually monitoring and analyzing data, anticipating possible problems, and taking proactive actions. In the context of smart healthcare, these agents may, for example, track a patient's vitals in real time, anticipate possible health emergencies, notify medical personnel, or even start emergency procedures. Autonomous agents may dynamically assign parking spots in the context of smart car parking based on real-time data, maximizing space use and minimizing traffic congestion. Agents that can autonomously manage emergency actions, such as directing people to safety and managing infrastructure to minimize damage, might be beneficial for earthquake detecting systems. As autonomous entities endowed with decision-making skills are included, we are moving closer to truly intelligent cities. Because of these agents' capacity for independent operation and quick response to changing circumstances, smart cities are able to offer a better quality of security and service while accommodating the changing demands of its residents. As a result, smart cities that have these intelligent agents installed will be more responsive, efficient, and resilient—ultimately capturing the spirit of artificial intelligence in urban planning.
