  • Abstract
    Recently, there has been significant research focus on smart cities and how to use resources efficiently. Parking space, in particular, is scarce in most metropolitan areas and intelligent systems are required to coordinate parking. This paper presents a wireless system for locating parking spots remotely via a smartphone, and a wireless sensor node which determines if parking spots are vacant or not. It is found that the system is highly efficient and has high accuracy, even at long ranges.
