Survey Paper on Smart Parking System using Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT)plays a vital role in connecting the surrounding environmental things to the network and makes it easy to access those un-internet things from any remote location. Nowadays, people are facing problems in finding available parking slots in a city. In this studywe design a Smart Parking System (SPS) which helps the user to find the nearest parking area and provides information regarding the availability of parking slots in that respective parking area. This ensures on reducing the time in finding the parking slots and also it avoids the unnecessary travelling through filled parking lots. Which in turn reduces the fuel consumption and pollution. This paper introduces an algorithm that increases the efficiency of the current cloud-based smart-parking system and develops a network architecture based on the Internet-of-Thing technology and it also calculates the user parking cost by considering the distance and the total number of free places in each car park.
