A Novel Reservation Approach for Smart Parking System

It is difficult for drivers to find a parking space in most urban areas, especially during the peak hours. The difficulty emerges from not knowing whether there are available parking spaces at the time at the destination; even though known, numerous drivers may seek for very limited parking spaces to cause serious traffic problem. Therefore, we proposed a novel Reservation Approach for smart parking system, by integrating the mobile device application and Internet of Thing technology, as well as their related models and methodologies. Our solution is to design a novel reservation based on multi-objective approach as part of user-targeted service to facilitate drivers in finding and reserving a free parking space indeed. Finally, we conduct a realworld case in the central areas of Jiaxing to show our proposal is feasibility.
