Smart City : IOT Based Prototype for Parking Monitoring and Management System Commanded by Mobile App

This paper introduces a prototype for IoT based smart parking system that attempts to automate vehicle parking system that leads to minimize vehicle parking problem. Traffic congestion caused by vehicles is an alarming problem at a global scale and it has been growing exponentially. Searching for a parking space and buying tickets for theira parking from ticketing machines is a routine activity for many people in cities around the world. We propose a prototype that would monitor the parking spaces availability through the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technology and automate the ticketing system from smart phones by mTicketing system.
