Smart transportation system using IoT

Abstract

Nowadays the concept of smart cities became more popular. The evolution of internet of things (IoT) helps the idea of smart city more achievable. A major branch of smart city is smart transportation. Problems such as traffic congestion, road safety, accident detection, automatic fare collection and limited car parking facilities can be resolved by IoT. In this paper, an IoT based smart parking system along with an intelligent signboard is proposed. The smart parking system composed of intelligent sensors deployed on site and are used to monitor and inform the availability of parking spaces. A mobile or internet application can be provided to check the availability of parking slot. The sign board with embedded RF module and connected sensors working with solar energy as well as in battery will show the place, distance to that place, weather condition, temperature and different routes to those places.
