A new approach on Smart-Parking concept.

In a world running out of resources, innovation is the only key for survival. One of the biggest domains affected by the expansion process is the global automotive industry. Sales have reached 90 million automobiles last year, counting a 5% increase compared to year 2016. The real problem comes when parking the car somewhere, at peak hours, when in a big hurry. One of the first solutions adopted and implemented by architects consists in building a parking space on different levels. Thus, occupying the same surface as a flat parking, the capacity can be increased by about 100% for each extra level built. Still such implementation depends on the geographical position and requires a lot of money and time to build. Another solution, relying on storing several cars vertically, similar to the Ferris wheel, is very expensive and only few can afford it. The aim of this paper is to present a Smart-Parking solution having 4 important characteristics: implementation with minimal financial investment, execution within a very short time, usage of the same surface as a classic one-level parking and significantly increased capacity. We demonstrate that the proposed solution brings an improvement of 31.66% increase in parking capacity
