ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the existing Smart Parking System (SPS) by classifying them into different characteristics. It looks at an overview of the vehicle detection technologies where several parameters such as scalability and weather sensitivity and compared to each other. The chapter discusses some of the issues in data collection and in general system reliability of SPSs in by looking at different cases where the problem can arise. Parking Reservation System is a new concept in smart intelligent transportation systems which allow drivers to secure a parking spot particularly in peak hours prior to or during their journey. Agent Based Guiding System simulates the behavior of each driver in a dynamic and complex environment in an explicit manner. In conjunction with CCTV and an images processing unit, vehicle plate of the ingress and egress vehicles can be captured and analyzed to give an estimation of the number of the vehicles currently present or exiting the parking spaces in real time.
