Abstract

Vehicle parking and vehicle parking place have become inevitable things for the present situation and it contributes to traffic congestion in an indirect manner. The proposed work aims to solve the problem of effectively utilizing the available parking space through an IoT-based parking network during peak hours as well as to charge the system with solar energy as a renewable to ensure reliability in terms of saving time, space, and energy. Because IoT can convey information via the network without encompassing human contacts in the cloud and also permits a user to use affordable wireless technology. the innovative idea of this proposed vehicle parking network is of using solar as renewable energy to charge the sensors in the network. Hence, it is proposed to use the Infrared sensor to be positioned alongside the parking space ESP module. IR sensors will update the current state of available parking spaces for ESP uses light energy observed by the sensors will be used to charge the network. The outcome will benefit the users to manage the parking space effectively and efficiently.

Introduction

With the rise in the usage of vehicles in cities and urban areas, traffic congestion is the main challenge to be addressed. Through designing an IoT-based solar vehicle parking network that comprises a complete wireless sensor network could provide the solution for a vehicle-park organization using sensor nodes. Remote computers connected to the Internet may be used to monitor, control, or manage people (Yuvaraju and Monika, 2017). The development of an IoT-based solar-charged wireless vehicle parking network task entails the creation of an internet-based system that sends data about available and occupied parking spaces through a web page. Each parking space will have an IoT unit, which will include sensors and microcontrollers. The availability of all parking spaces is updated in real-time on the website. The key concept is to build a solar- powered IoT-based wireless vehicle parking network using the Internet of Things and IR sensors, with accessible parking spaces displayed on a web page and solar energy used to charge the wireless network.

Task Motivations

After reviewing the previous tasks, we concluded that there is a possibility to improve in terms of integrating wireless sensors with modern technologies like IoT and Cloud environment effectively and efficiently. The main goal of the IoT-based solar-powered wireless vehicle parking network task is to assist drivers in locating open parking spots in this parking area. Leading up to the scheduled release, drivers can search for a parking place on the internet and look for empty slots using a working Internet connection (Ramakrishnan and Radhakrishnan, 2022).

Problem Definition / Statement

Although the majority of suggested responses focus on the challenge of finding an unoccupied parking space, they ignore other serious problems such as facts about nearby vehicle parking and traffic congestion on the highways (Biswas and Morris, 2004). On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT) has recently become a hot topic in smart vehicle parking. A modern urban city can have over a million vehicles on its highways, but it lacks adequate parking space. Furthermore, almost all current researchers advocate data storage in the cloud. However, since raw data is sent on time from distributed sensors to the parking area via the cloud and then received back after processing, this method may be considered a problem. In terms of data transmission, as well as energy expense and utilization, this is a costly strategy. As a result, a proposal is urgently required to design a smart vehicle parking system that will assist users in resolving the problem of monitoring a parking space and reducing the time spent looking for the nearest accessible vehicle park using IoT, ESP, and solar as an energy charger (Kansal et al., 2007). The three key issues concerning managing the parking infrastructure effectively and smartly, as a result of the rising volume of vehicles and the decreasing quality of modern busy parking, are:

  • •

    Time spent in parking lots that are inconvenient and inefficient.

  • •

    Additional fuel is burned when idling or driving through parking garages, resulting in increased pollution.

  • •

    Possibility of fatal accidents caused by vehicles in disordered.

Task Objectives

The use of low-cost sensors, real-time data, and applications in an IoT- based solar-powered wireless vehicle parking network allows users to monitor empty and inaccessible parking spaces (Kanthavel et al., 2022). The objective is to simplify the process and reduce the amount of time spent manually looking for the perfect parking spot. Both the customer and the space provider will benefit greatly from a parking solution using the combination of technology like the internet, sensors, and solar charging. By the end of this task, we will be able to:

  • •

    Attain reduced time for parking the Vehicle.

  • •

    Ensuring the authentication to enter the parking through IoT-based context.
