Smart Car Parking and Maintenance Systems: Leveraging IoT for Efficient, Sustainable Urban Transport

Abstract

One of the main objectives of the smart city aspect is to facilitate sustainable mobility, and one vital component of that is the creation of an intelligent parking system. The solution to the parking issue cities face is the allocation and monitoring of parking spaces. Using the results of this survey, we have investigated this issue. As a result, an effective parking management system is now required. We can provide excellent service to citizens who wish to park their cars on any organization’s property by employing an Internet of Things (IoT) based parking management system with the aid of a computerized system. In this case, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are connected to physical parking spot infrastructures through sensors, enabling cloud-based smart management services. An end user will be able to reserve a specific parking lot and check if parking spaces are available using this mobile application. Every parking lot would have a control system installed, allowing for the tracking of the quantity of empty and occupied spaces as well as the notification of users regarding the state of the lot (open, closed, or with free, available parking spaces). The application would also show the cost of parking services based on how long a user parks. Additionally, it will detect if a car has pulled up to the gate to open it automatically. Customers can now easily check online for available parking spaces from anywhere at any time. Thus, the mechanism resolves the parking issue. The need for effective and sustainable parking solutions is growing as urbanization and vehicle density rise. Smart Car Parking and Maintenance Systems, powered by IoT, ICT, and cloud-based services, present novel solutions to ease urban transportation difficulties. By providing automated maintenance scheduling, optimized traffic flow, and real-time parking spot availability, these technologies lower carbon footprints and improve user convenience. To show how well IoT, ICT, and cloud computing can be integrated into smart parking and maintenance systems, this study examines this integration, gives user input, and analyses experimental findings.
