Summary and Reader response: draft 3

In the article “ IoT based Smart Parking Systems for Smart Cities”, hiOTron.com (n.d), it claims that it is crucial to create an automated smart parking management system. It was supported by recent research that, “30% of the traffic in urban areas is generated by drivers and motorists looking for parking spaces”. Smart Parking uses sensors instruments to identify the occupancy of the parking lots, and designed to transmit scanned data to the database in real-time. Hence drivers will be able to identify if there is an available parking slot through the app. It can be adopted in most urban parking spaces and managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC). However, it states that there will be many challenges such as high upfront costs, enforcement and inconvenience for tourists. Still, the benefits such as improved traffic and reduced management cost are worth the challenge. Despite challenges such as connection issue, smart parking system is beneficial in order to reduce traffic jams
