Humanity is currently experiencing one of the short periods of transition thanks to novel sensing solutions for smart cities that bring the future to today. Overpopulation of cities demands the development of solid strategic planning that uses infrastructure, innovation, and technology to adapt to rapid changes. To improve mobility in cities with a larger and larger vehicle fleet, a novel sensing solution that is the cornerstone of a smart parking system, the smart vehicular presence sensor (SPIN-V, in its Spanish abbreviation), is presented. The SPIN-V is composed of a small single-board computer, distance sensor, camera, LED indicator, buzzer, and battery and devoted to obtain the status of a parking space. This smart mobility project involves three main elements, namely the SPIN-V, a mobile application, and a monitoring center, working together to monitor, control, process, and display the parking space information in real-time to the drivers. In addition, the design and implementation of the three elements of the complete architecture are presented.

Parking a vehicle in dense traffic environments often leads to excessive driving time in search of free space, which leads to congestion and environmental pollution. Lack of guidance information about vacant parking spaces is one reason for inefficient parking behavior. Smart parking sensors and technologies facilitate the guidance of drivers to free parking spaces, thereby improving parking efficiency. Currently, no such sensors or technologies are used for the open parking lot. This study reviews the literature on the usage of smart parking sensors, technologies, and applications and evaluates their applicability to open parking lots. To develop smart parking applications for open parking lots, further research is needed in deep learning and multi-agent systems.
