IOT IN SMART CITIES1IoT is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to create smart cities with theuse of smart devices and big data analytics to address various social and technical problems.With the increase in usage in IoT devise the interoperability among various devices is crucial.At present, cities around the world face a lot of challenges which are related to socialresilience, environmental sustainability, economic growth, parking and traffic and jobcreation. Pollution is a common factor in major cities due to the emissions from variousvehicles and this issue is aggravated with the increasing traffic congestion [15]. With theinvolvement of IoT technology, businesses, society and individuals get the opportunity toaccess new services and applications as well as volumes of data to improve the efficiency ofthe society, reduce power consumption and develop a cleaner environment. Among the broad concept of smart cities, one of the fastest adopted and growingconcept is smart parking or smart traffic. The benefits of automated smart parking hasbeen realized by a number of entities like city garages, shopping centres, universities andairports [12]. This technology is only possible due to the internet of things which gives theability of automating, analysing and collecting data from various sensors of the devices. Smart parking involves technologies that monitors unavailable and available parkingspots with the help of real time applications and data and low cost sensors. The main reasonfor adopting this technology is to reduce the time in searching for a proper parking spotmanually. Some smart parking solutions apply other technologies such as car searchingfunctionalities, notifications for parking time and online payments.There are several benefits of using this technology. The technology will allowoptimized parking solutions. The smart parking allows users to find a proper parking spot forthe car, thus reducing effort, resources and time. As the parking lots get filled up efficiently,the corporate and commercial entities can utilize the free space properly [14]. The smart

As fewer cars have to drive around for findinga proper parking spot, with the integration of the new technology the traffic flow will increaseconsiderably with lesser cars on road. The third benefit of using this technology is thereduction in pollution [14]. Research has shown that every day, over a million barrels of oilare exhausted due to parking problems. With the advent of smart parking technology, the carswould not need to drive for long hours, thus saving on emissions and contributing to reducedcarbon footprint for the environment. Smart parking also helps to enhance the user experience. The smart parking shouldbe able to integrate various experiences of the user in unified hub. The arrival process of thedestination integrates several informations such as time notifications, location search, spotidentification and driver’s payment. It will also allow to create a new revenue stream byallowing users to create a new tiered payment system which is dependent on the location ofthe parking space. The existing models can be integrated with other reward programs toencourage more users to avail the technology [13]. It additionally allows for integrated POSand Payment systems. By availing application payment and accounting invoicing frommobiles, users can negate the usage of manual cash for parking payment. The system can alsointegrate customer feedback system and have customer loyalty programs. Smart parking alsoprovides the benefit of increased safety. Suspicious activity and parking violations can beprevented with the help of real time data that is collected from IoT devices present around theparking location. Pertinent footage can be gathered from cameras that recognizes licenseplates [7].Moreover, due to reduced searching for a proper parking place, the chances ofaccidents due to distraction is lowered considerably. The smart parking involves the usage ofuser data that can be used for finding trends and correlations. These data can be used foranalysis to improve certain adjustments for certain drivers. The smart parking technology will
