Popis: Parking has been a major challenge in big cities for decades. Studies have shown direct correlation between parking and the increase in traffic density, thus leading to higher levels of pollution and longer overall trip time. Conventional solutions mainly depend on area-based semi-automated digital parking assistants. Such solutions fall short of offering an optimized solution that enhances the utilization of the set of city-wide parking garages (global garage space), regardless of the physical location. We propose smartpark, a novel, comprehensive location-independent smart park and transfer service to satisfy users objectives such as timeliness, low cost and convenience, while providing efficient globally-balanced garage-space utilization.smartpark utilizes an IoT network to monitor the availability of parking spots in a city-wide multi-garage system. The system employs a genetic algorithm to find the optimal balance between all users and system’s objectives. Simulation results demonstrate that smartpark services are both effective and efficient.
