Introduction
The new digital car parking system initiated by SAP Corporation is a new fully cloud
based Internet of Things solution. The new concept will utilise the cloud platform to form an
environment that will connect parking locations with the system that will sensor if the location is
free for parking or not ("SAP Connected Parking Solution Brief", 2017). SAP Connected
Parking is a SAP Leonardo IoT programming, intended to help to stop administration firms
exploit the cloud (SAP Cloud Platform), shrewd gadgets and Big Data innovations. SAP
Connected Parking offers to stop suppliers a computerised spine to merge parking spot
accessibility over different areas, hold parking spots, distribute ongoing status of a parking spot
and enhance utilise, permeability and effectiveness.
Principle segments of SAP Connected Parking are the back-end framework and an
application that keeps running on the unattended stopping stand (Gubbi et al., 2013).
Coordination with average stopping administration equipment and programming, for example,
entryway controller, Visa per user, tag acknowledgement cameras make SAP Connected Parking
the centre of a creative upgradable arrangement stack that empowers great and helpful stopping
access and income control. With a phenomenal convenience and ongoing access to data SAP
Connected Parking rethinks the stopping knowledge for every single key part including month to
month and transient parkers, office administrators, client benefit delegates and back office
functions.
Customer benefit for IoT enabled parking system
The key roles and features of SAP IoT based Parking provide the customers with:

3INTERNET OF THINGS EXPLORATION
 Easy setup of stopping positions with no forthright investment
 Frictionless preventing access& present day income control without money and paper
(e.g. Visa, QR code, tag, NFC) for transient and month to month parker (Lee et al., 2013).
 Parking reservation, transaction& activity management
 Real-time information get to and alarms
 Remote management capabilities from any gadget whenever
Challenges of the system
Open architecture supports adaptable equipment outline the clients can use SAP
Connected Parking to meet the challenges they confront, including:
 Aging on-premises Foundation, obsolete stopping frameworks and complex equipment
plans that are expensive to keep up, hard to refresh and hard to extend.
 Limited Business Models. Parking garage cannot be offered through the web. Associated
auto ideas cannot be implemented.
 High add up to cost of proprietorship. Massive forthright speculations. Costly yearly
support contracts
 Poor Data Visibility. No continuous information of stock and revenue
Advantages of the system
When the clients work with SAP Connected Parking, they can take their business to the
following level. They can:
 Optimize office usage and income across multiple locations
 Reduce TCO of stopping operation

 Realize quick time to value based on Cloud/SaaS financial aspects
 Use standard segments and API's to coordinate with various infrastructure components
 Profit from continuous access to all relevant data
Components of the System
Sensors
An electronic device that is used to detect or measure physical presence of any property.
In this case, the sensors are placed in the middle of the parking spots for each car slots. There it
identifies if any car is covering the parking slot surface or not and then it transmits signals to the
cloud through the dedicated channel (Zanella et al., 2014).
Cloud Platform
It is the portion of the internet, where those signals from the sensors arrive, and moves to
the back-end, where it processes the information and stores the details of the spots that are
occupied or those are free. All these information are stored in the database (Wortmann &
Flüchter, 2015).
Mobile Application
Now, the end-users searching free parking space is required to access the Mobile
Application that can be on the mobile phone or installed on the car itself (Zanella et al., 2014).
There it will retrieve information from the database of the cloud handle for the parking spaces
that are free.

Importance of IoT in Modern World
Urban communities and provinces robotizing movement administration that adequately
sets, and oversees the stream of activity in light of consistently evolving, conditions stopping
applications (Da Xu, He & Li, 2014). That insightfully directs autos to open spots, killing
dawdled and vitality and significantly curtailing outflows, computerizing utility utilization, era
and circulation on a terrific scale, all with an eye to the relief of waste that far surpasses the
capacities of existing frameworks. To get smarter healthcare where smart wears will monitor
human health statistics all the time and if found any vulnerability then the doctors connected to
the system will contact the person to get him the best possible treatment before time to recover
from any disease that may harm in future (Zanella et al., 2014). There are more advantages and
dependency for the modern world towards the IoT technology, that cannot be accounted.
