The increasing number of urban areas conditioned by increasing number of people has led to significant innovations in the concept of living. The implementation and widespread use of modern technologies have enabled the rapid development of the smart cities. As population growth is accompanied by an increase in the number of cars and other vehicles, one of the most important problems facing cities is the development of an efficient parking system. Today's biggest problem in big cities is finding free parking spot, but also it is important to consider problems that arise in form of: longer time spent on cruising for parking, which increases pollution through the emission of CO2, more frequent traffic accidents, and a higher level of requests regarding the maintenance of traffic infrastructure. In order to successfully solve these problems with the adequate use of modern and advanced technologies, it is necessary to establish an effective planning system by the innovative parking management. This paper aims to show and compare some of the most important parking solutions in modern cities, as well as the use of advanced technologies for this purpose.
Many applications including Industry 4.0, Smart City, Building Management, Car of the Future, Smart Home and Connected Health use IoT (Internet of Things). IoT is changing the way businesses and consumers, even whole cities interact through connected devices. In the future, with Internet of Everything (IoE), every entity (people, machines, animals, cars, buildings, etc.) will have possibilities for direct interconnections. Forecasts show that over 20 billion connected devices will reach the market by 2020. Ninety percent of cars are expected to be connected, too. These wide range of industry and consumer applications have growing needs for IoT and many common elements such as decentralization, real-time requirements, sensory or measurement capabilities, a communications layer and Big Dataanalytics/intelligence. Besides these well know common elements, also in many applications exit the need for payment. This additional requirement is known as the idea of IoT payments. In this paper is present some of challenges in implementation of IoT payments.
This paper gives one of the smart solutions to the problem that is nowadays becoming more significant and that is the problem of vehicle parking, especially in densely populated areas. As part of the solution to the previous problem is the explanation given in this paper on how the smart parking barrier works and how it is being used. In addition, smart parking barrier construction idea is shown, as well as the way to control the barrier and the way the barrier moves. Later, it is shown how the battery pack powered parking barrier works. Several tests have been performed on three different battery pack solutions, produced by different manufacturers, to show the durability and with that the quality of each of the battery packs. Data for each test is collected and analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
