Abstract:
Urban commuting has become a nightmare for a common man who travels to and from work daily in a city. The traffic gets even worse on weekends, as almost half the road is occupied by cars searching for parking. To avoid these problems, recently many new technologies have been developed that help in solving the parking problems in a great extent using RFID technology, GSM, and QR code. In this survey paper, we discuss an analysis various smart parking solutions that are used to locate available parking space with the help of sensors. This saves customer's time as well as minimizes wastage of fuel. The growth in low-cost, low-power sensing and communication technologies is creating a pervasive network infrastructure called the Internet of Things (IoT), which enables a wide range of physical objects and environments to be monitored in fine spatial and temporal detail. There has been growing interest in the IoT for realizing smart cities, in order to maximize the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure, such as minimizing road congestion and making better use of the limited car parking facilities. Some methodological framework for multiple steps ahead parking availability prediction includes the probability of free space to continue being free in subsequent time intervals, and the short-term parking occupancy prediction in selected regions of an urban road network.
