Survey Paper on Smart Parking for Smart City

Abstract: Parking space is becoming a serious problem due to the day-by-day increase in number of vehicles on the road. To deal with such problems parking planning should be done. We are implementing an algorithm which will solve this issue. The algorithm will guide drivers to find and direct them to their respective parking space at the entry level. For this, we used sensors which are deployed at parking lots to check the availability of the respective parking space. Using wireless sensor network (WSN) parking lot is detected. Also data is transmitted to the database along with necessary details about vehicle. This system provide user with near instantaneous update of available parking spot. Therefore, time needed to search parking space that are caused by inefficient parking system will be significantly reduced. We hereby present the study of issues related to the different structures used and algorithms for smart parking system. With the successful implementation of smart parking, the economy and time costs related with traffic jams, cost of wasted gas fuel, and time wasted looking for an empty parking space that are caused by inefficient parking will reduce significantly.
