Under Smart City, ‘Smart Parking System’ is being developed in many cities across the country. The purpose of this system is to reduce the traffic pressure in cities and to provide parking facilities to the people without any hassle. In this new system, with the help of a mobile app, drivers will be able to book their parking space in advance.

How does this smart parking work?
Sensor based technology (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence work behind this entire system. Smart sensors have been installed at all major parking lots in the city. These sensors are directly connected to the central server and mobile app. As soon as a vehicle moves out of the parking slot, the space starts showing as ‘vacant’ on the app.
You will get relief from the hassle of jam and parking
You can check the parking in that area half an hour or an hour before reaching your destination and book a slot for your vehicle by making online payment. By the time you reach there, that place will be reserved for you. With the arrival of this mobile app, the two biggest problems of cities, traffic jam and parking, will be solved simultaneously.
Time and fuel savings
Research shows that about 30% of the traffic jams in cities are caused only by those vehicles which are crawling on the roads in search of parking. When people know in advance where their place is booked, they will go straight there. This will save fuel and also reduce pollution.
End illegal parking on the road
Due to lack of space, people often park their vehicles on the roadside, which creates a bottleneck situation. Smart parking app will curb the habit of illegal parking. With digital payment through the app, the problem of parking mafias and overcharging will be completely eliminated.
