A Smart Parking-lot Occupancy Model in 5G V2V and V2I Wireless Communication

Smart city is the new demand of this world. This ’smart’ concept is related to the increase in automation and leads to reduce the human involvements at different phase. Intelligent transport system (ITS) is an important part of smart city. In this work we have proposed a 5G communication based smart parking lot occupancy system where vehicles can communicate each other through OBUs (On Board Units) and other RSUs (Road Side Units). With this capability, a vehicle can inform all the units when it is about to leave and an incoming vehicle can get the update about free space. We have predicted a waiting queue for the incoming vehicles when parking lot is full and predicted a optimal position about the placement of RSUs. The target of this work is to optimize the use of the entire parking lot and also to reduce the chances of failure to allocate a parking lot. We have simulated our proposed model using SUMO and omnet + + simulators and measured performance in terms of success rate of allocation of parking lots and different QoS parameters like packet drop and delay in response.
