IntroductionThis paper is aimed at discussing Internet of Things and its applications in recent times to solve common problems experienced during day to day lives. Internet Of Things or as it is commonly referred to as IOT is the inter-networking of a range of physical devices which are embedded with various electronic devices, sensors, software and have network connectivity capability to enable them to communicate with each other by sending and receiving information. The main objective of IOT is connectivity of devices to enable them to communicate and relay information between themselves. The paper narrows the discussion to one case study which is Automated Car Parking with Empty Slot Detection.Problem definitionCars are becoming an essential part of our lives with a lot of people choosing cars to travel from place toplace while doing their different errands. Because of high use of cars by many people within a city parking of the cars has become a major problem where by it is not easy for someone to find a parking slot to park their cars as they go on with their errands. A rising technology which is being termed as Smart Cities is on the rise where by cities are incorporating technology specifically IOT to solve problemslike finding empty slots in a certain area of a city. The Automated Car Parking with Empty Slot detection is the one of the IOT projects that is being used and is still being developed and improved to be used in smart cities.SolutionTo solve the problem of finding an empty slot the Automatic Car Parking with Empty Slot Detection is a very useful project. The project has been designed to work by enabling users to find an empty slot around the area they are driving at. When the user indicates that they want to park the vehicle, the system starts searching for the nearest empty slot. Parking slots have sensors which are able to send and receive data. So when a broadcast is sent from the car looking for car space it goes to all the sensorsin every parking slot near the area. The slot which is empty responds and the car is directed to that specific parking slot. This project is able to work because there is communication of physical devices to identify which parking slot is not occupied (Automated Parking System, 2015).The following diagram shows a conceptual model of how the system works.Figure 1: Cited From: (Aqraa and Jaber, n.d) page 4
