Assistant for Public Parks Using IBM Watson

Abstract

We always love to visit new places. When going to the new place about which we don’t have any idea. Having someone who can give us details about all the Infrastructure. History of that place is something that everybody would like. Having a voice assistant which could guide us regarding the whole place like its infrastructure and history is a really a thrilling experience.

In recent times the concept of Assistant For Public Parks Using IBM Watson have gained grate popularity. Thanks to the evolution of Internet of things the idea of smart city now seems to be achievable. Consistent efforts are being made in the field of IoT in order to maximize the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure.

Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking facilities and road safety are being addressed by IoT. In this paper, we present an IoT based cloud integrated smart parking system.

The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site deployment of an IoT module. That is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of each single parking space.The proposed E-parking system enables the drivers to obtain information on availability of parking space. 

A mobile application is also provided that allows an end user to check the availability of parking space and book a parking slot accordingly. The paper also describes a high-level view of the system architecture. The proposed system also enables the automatic collection of parking charges by providing smart payment options to the driver.

Our Project aims at providing such a virtual voice assistant cum guide. Who would guide us not only to the directions to reach a specified destination but also about the infrastructure and History of that public Park.
