In the article “IoT based Smart Parking for Smart Cities”, the webpage discusses the need for an “automated smart parking management system” that will effectively reduce the time spent to find a parking space. Smart parking uses sensors to detect vacant parking spaces, which will then be pushed to the cloud to provide ease of accessibility to the users. The data collected could provide insight into the “correlations and movements of users”. The webpage also mentions that the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway will allow data to be “analysed and managed from a remote control center in real-time”, increasing efficiency and granting admins ample time to rectify faults promptly. The challenge, however, is for IoT solutions to “make it easy to transfer data to the cloud and with no need to discard established assets” by utilising minimal resources and increasing ROI of the parking systems”.
According to Mangiaracina, Perego, Tumino, Miragliotta and Salvadoria (2017), it is estimated that in Europe, vehicles cruising for a parking space accounts for 30% of the daily traffic congestion in the downtown area. While the article focuses primarily in populated urban areas with existing infrastructure we often take for granted, the suggestions provides a good basis to research for a more efficient solution.
