A novel parking service using wireless networks

Parking is costly and limited in almost every major city in the world. The misparking aggravates the competition of parking slots. Innovative parking systems for meeting near-term parking demand are needed. A probabilistic approach is addressed to model the misparking of the current parking system. To provide an intelligent parking services and to eliminate the misparking, a wireless-based parking service is proposed. The proposed system adopts the wireless network and sensor technologies to provide an intelligent and automatic parking service. The implementation and a probabilistic analysis of the new parking service are presented as well.
