Development of a demonstrator «smart-parking»

The main goals of the demonstrator developed within the FRDISI (Foundation for Research, Development and Innovation in Engineering Sciences) in Casablanca (Morocco) are to allow the development of new concepts and tools in smart-parking management. It will also permit to experiment other smart sensors and parking management analysis algorithms. The demonstrator will offer a platform to develop and experiment innovative solutions for an efficient management of the energy consumption of all the infrastructure and physical equipment of the smart-parking. Through our demonstrator, FRDISI will be able to help drivers, through a web or android application, to reduce parking search time, to make place reservation. This application proposes a lot of innovative functionality among them a reservation system. It will help the parking owners to increase the rotations of their parking spaces (near malls, near airports) which can positively impact the economic profitability of the parking infrastructure. In addition, the demonstrator produces green energy and is energy autonomous. For cities responsible, it proposes steps for the support tools' development in smart-parking and analyze the uses for a better definition of the mobility policy of the city. FRDISI will launch many subjects in applied research domain to improve and develop the know-how in the field, to develop and experiment innovative futurist solutions such as optimization algorithm in the parking rules according to demand (handicap, drop-off, public transport, funds conveyors, neighborhood markets, schools, events, etc.), implementing new sensor technologies and new modes of energy-efficient communication while taking advantage of existing telecommunication infrastructures (Internet of Things IoT Concept). As our platform will encourage the green mobility solutions by providing smart load for electric vehicles.
