Parking System for Smart Cities Using IBM Watson

Abstract

Parking System For Smart Cities Using IBM Watson project is, a new parking system called Smart Parking System.This is proposed to assist which enables the user to find the nearest parking area. And gives availability of parking slots in that respective parking area and it mainly focuses on reducing the time in finding the parking lots. And also it avoids the unnecessary traveling through filled parking lots in a parking area. We can check the status of the parking slot by using sensors. 

With the advent of Internet of Things, the concept of smart cities can be readily achievable. An extensive research is ongoing in the field of Internet of Things to increase the quality of services. It offered in cities and to improve the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure.

IoT is addressing the most common problems faced in cities like availability of car parking and traffic jams. This paper presents an Internet of Things based Parking system for Smart Cities. The proposed parking system contains an IoT module deployed on-site for managing the available parking spaces. A platform provided in the form of portal for booking the parking spaces.

The concept of Smart Cities have always been a dream for humanity. Since the past couple of years large advancements have been made in making smart cities a reality.

The growth of IoT and Cloud technologies have given rise to new possibilities in terms of smart cities. Smart parking facilities and traffic management systems have always been at the core of constructing smart cities. 

The system that we propose provides real time information regarding availability of parking slots in a parking area. Users from remote locations could book a parking slot for them by the use of our mobile application.
