Finding a parking spot in the city is the one driving maneuver that causes drivers the most stress. However, the application of smart parking technology, according to Libelium, a provider of technology solutions based on the Internet of Things (IoT), reduces traffic volume by 8%, gas emissions by 40%, the distance driven by a car to park by 30%, and the amount of time needed to park by 43%.

Smart parking systems are beginning to provide answers for urban transportation as a result of digitization. This system enables the acquisition of real-time data about parking availability and information about traffic and road conditions. This is made possible through the Internet of Things and sensor technologies.
The structure of smart parking is made up of several tools and procedures that serve as parking space detectors. On the one hand, the installation of cameras and/or sensors that capture, analyze, and present data and images to deliver real-time traffic occupancy statistics for the location we are going. On the other hand, an IoT cloud-based system enables the connection of various devices and the centralization of the data. The availability of parking spaces is then determined using big data analysis of the data.
