Towards the development of smart parking system using mobile and web technologies

As an important component of traffic system, parking management system is playing an important role and affecting people's daily life. By detecting and processing the information from parking lots, smart parking system allows drivers to obtain real-time parking information and alleviates parking contentions. The use of intelligent systems have become the most prevalent among the world contribute to the implementation of daily business in a more efficient and flexible reveal. In this research study we show the importance of using smart parking systems. Our design goals of the smart parking systems include: simplify the operations of parking systems, improve drivers' satisfaction, increase parking revenue, and alleviate traffic congestion. Through analysis, design, implementation and testing phases, we introduce the proposed reservation-based parking system prototype that has the potential to achieve the above goals. We used Cronbach's alpha to measure the validity and stability of the study questionnaire items. We also used the Spearman Correlation analysis for determining the impact factors such as: city, age, gender, car type, job, educational level, monthly salary and credit card type, in using intelligent systems via mobile or computer application, for smart parking reservation.
