Abstract

Smart cities are very important current and future trend in the world, and one of the most prevalent systems is smart parking system. Smart parking System saves time consuming in searching for available areas for parking and it reduces street accident. Moreover, it provides cities owners and administrators with the ability to monitor and control the streets and parking areas. Thus, we present a modified design like the old corner systems, to increase the quality of lifestyle and make it easier and smarter using modern innovations such as the embedded system and the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop this project. Furthermore, our smart parking solution is concerned with several aspects that has a great effect on people, drivers, and the whole city in general. These main aspects are time, the most important, and money by providing a smart indoor and outdoor parking solution, as well as paying attention to save energy, whether in the streets outside or inside the parking spaces. Finally, we develop a web application which it could be accessible for users to inform him with the updated areas for indoor and outdoor parking nearby. A mobile application is also provided to search and book a free parking spot.
