The type and processes of smart parking systems
After understanding the type and processes of smart parking systems with their advantages and disadvantages, the decision can be made by considering each of its compatibility to an urbanized area. Firstly, according to Albagul et al. (2013), a multi-level car parking system in an urban area needs to be built in the underground. It will be a time-consuming and costly project. Subsequently, the control strategy for the traffic flow to the multi-level car parking system will be carried out using the PLC. This PLC allows the control system for the multi-level car parking system to achieve the anticipated performance to regulate the entry and exit of the car to or from several floors accurately. Even though this system is expensive than the other three, it still gives benefits that the others do not possess. Secondly, Atacak and Erdogdu (2017) explained that a semi-circular automatic parking system uses the OPLS algorithm technology, which is advance enough to support the system, to achieve the parking process with the fastest and least energy consumption. Comparatively, this parking system needs less ground space to occupy and solves the limited parking space issue in urban areas. Thereupon, this parking system accommodates small but urbanized areas such as KL because this system takes a smaller space than the space needed for a standard parking lot in KL. Aside from that, IoT smart parking systems are beneficial and suitable to be implemented in KL as stated by Anand et al. (2016), smart parking system based on IoT does not require to build a new building as other parking systems. So, it can be implemented at an existing parking basement. Not to mention, this system is the cheapest among all the systems. Next, the Rotary smart car parking system improves the inconvenience of parking space by reducing the car access time by 50%. Plus can reduce illegal cars parked by the roadside in urban areas and reduce traffic jams (Skrzyniowski, Mruk, & Skrzyniowska, 2018). Hence, the above statements show that the parking systems that are introduced in the report are suitable to be implemented in KL as they assist in reducing the implications of poor parking systems currently vast in KL due to its high-density population.
