Smart Parking: The smart parking service is based on road
sensors and intelligent displays that direct motorists along the best path for parking in the city [16]. The benefits deriving from
this service are manifold: faster time to locate a parking slot
means fewer CO emission from the car, lesser traffic congestion,
and happier citizens. The smart parking service can be directly
integrated in the urban IoT infrastructure, because many
companies in Europe are providing market products for this
application. Furthermore, by using short-range communication
technologies, such as Radio Frequency Identifiers (RFID) or
Near Field Communication (NFC), it is possible to realize an
electronic verification system of parking permits in slots reserved
for residents or disabled, thus offering a better service to citizens
that can legitimately use those slots and an efficient tool to
quickly spot violations.
