摘要：Due to the proliferation in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic problems are bound to exist. This is due to the fact that the current transportation infrastructure and car park facility developed are unable to cope with the influx of vehicles on the road. In India, the situation are made worse by the fact that the roads are significantly narrower compared to the West. Therefore, problems such as traffic congestion and insufficient parking space inevitably crops up. Various measures have been taken in the attempt to overcome the traffic problems. To alleviate the aforementioned problems, the smart car parking system has been developed. This paper reviews and compares various car parking systems available now-a-days and discusses the required characteristics of a car parking system suitable to Indian conditions.
