Abstract

Parking a vehicle in traffic dense environments is a common issue in many parts of the world which often leads to congestion and environmental pollution. Lack of guidance information to vacant parking spaces is one of the reasons for inefficient parking behaviour. Smart parking sensors and technologies facilitate guidance of drivers to free parking spaces thereby improving parking efficiency. Currently, no such sensors or technologies are in use for the common open parking lot. This paper reviews the literature on the usage of smart parking sensors, technologies, applications and evaluate their suitability to open parking lots. Suitability was made in terms of expenditure and reliability. Magnetometers, ultrasonic sensors and machine vision were few of the widely used sensors and technologies used in closed parking lots. However, this paper suggests a combination of machine vision, fuzzy logic or multi-agent systems suitable for open parking lots due to less expenditure and resistance to varied environmental conditions. No application provided real time parking occupancy information of open parking lots, which is a necessity to guide them along the shortest route to free space. To develop smart parking applications for open parking lots, further research is needed in the fields of deep learning.
