Introduction
Urban parking management is a critical aspect of urban transportation infrastructure, with challenges such as limited parking availability, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution. Conventional parking systems often rely on manual monitoring and static signage, leading to inefficiencies and frustration among motorists. The Parking Guidance and Management System based on IoT seeks to address these challenges by leveraging IoT technology to provide real-time parking information and optimize parking operations.
By deploying sensors in parking spaces, the system can detect occupancy status and transmit data to a central management platform via wireless communication networks. Using data analytics and machine learning algorithms, the system processes parking availability information and generates real-time updates for motorists, guiding them to available parking spaces efficiently. Additionally, the system offers benefits such as reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, and enhanced urban mobility.
Problem
Urban parking management faces several challenges, including limited parking availability, inefficient space utilization, and traffic congestion. Inadequate parking infrastructure and outdated management systems contribute to difficulties in finding parking spaces, leading to increased search time, vehicle emissions, and driver frustration. Furthermore, manual monitoring and enforcement of parking regulations are labor-intensive and prone to errors, resulting in revenue loss and enforcement inefficiencies.
Addressing these challenges requires the development of an intelligent parking guidance and management system capable of providing real-time parking availability information, optimizing parking operations, and improving user experience. By leveraging IoT technology, the system can automate parking monitoring, enhance data accuracy, and optimize resource allocation, thereby mitigating congestion and promoting sustainable urban mobility.
