Automated Valet Parking enabled by Internet of Things: A pilot site realization and validation at Brainport, the Netherlands

An automated valet parking (AVP) service where vehicles drive and park by itself is presented in this paper. Seamless integration of subsystems such as parking management system, Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, automated driving vehicles, micro-aerial-vehicle and road-side cameras provided by different stakeholders to a working solution is aided by introduction of IoT to the core of the System design. Technical realization of the AVP service with its architectural components and interacting subsystems are explained in the paper. Piloting and testing activities carried out to validate the System prove the merits of the proposed solution.
