Towards Future Mobility: Smart Parking System Based on Internet of Things with Wearable Computing Technology on Campus

Abstract

Technological advances in the digital era opened the door to innovation in various fields, including urban mobility. This article described the concept and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart parking system integrated with wearable computing technology in a campus environment. The main objective of this research was to develop a smart parking system integrated with wearable computing technology. The methodology used involved designing an integrated parking system, mapping parking areas, and developing a mobile application. Facilitating users' capacity to locate available parking spaces and providing them with real-time information regarding such availability were the primary goals of the proposed system, providing notifications to users when their parking time was running out and facilitating parking payments directly via their smartphone or smartwatch. Integration between smart parking applications and smartphones or smartwatches allowed users to access parking services more quickly and efficiently, improving their overall parking experience. This article described the system architecture and algorithms used, as well as testing and evaluating system performance. The unique aspect of this Smart Parking System research was the integration of wearable computing technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) concept to create a smart parking solution that was comfortable and efficient in the campus environment. The limitations of the discussion in this research were limited to Internet of Things (IoT) technology, sensors, and mobile applications. Through the implementation of this system, it was hoped that it could positively contribute to increasing mobility and efficient use of parking spaces in the campus environment, as well as opening up opportunities for developing similar applications on a wider scale in the future.
