Searching for a parking space is a routine (and often frustrating) activity for many people in cities around the world. In big cities after arriving in rush hour at a mall or somewhere, parking takes a long time. It's inefficient, frustrating, and time-consuming when we need to park our car. It's a big problem to find a parking space, and in this chapter we will see how to build a smart parking lot that sends notifications and informs someone can occupy that vacant place with the internet of the cities, using an automated vision system with a Raspberry Pi 3 board.
In this chapter we will learn the following topics:
- Introduction to smart parking systems
- Sensor devices for smart parking
- Vision machine systems
- Logging spaces in a database
- Detecting parking space
- Amazon Web Services IoT
- Integrating the system
