Development of a smart parking system using Raspberry Pi

The Internet has become an integral part of people's lives, more and more daily activities are being digitized and automated. So far, the Internet has been proposed for interaction between people. Internet of things (IoT) goes a step further and includes things to the Internet. The first section describes the historical development of IoT and explains the concept of IoT, the second one shows challenges of IoT which need to be resolved before the implementation of IoT. The third section elaborates on the IoT architecture from edge devices to Cloud computing. Then the application of IoT on a specific example such as a smart parking system is described in the fourth section, implementation needs are also specified, and implementation methods are outlined. Section 5 emphasizes the need to process the collected data and provides one way of data processing using contextualization.
