Parking cars or commercial vehicles in congested urban areas can be a nightmare and it’s also wasting time and energy with associated CO2 emissions. A smart parking system can help drivers identify and reserve free parking spot and pay fees through a mobile app.
To help design smart parking systems, we have a range of ranging and proximity sensors, as well as low-power wireless connectivity solutions and SW packages enabling simple cloud connectivity, together with low-power STM32 microcontrollers.

- This ST IoT Solution can be used to create a gateway that aggregates Smart Parking nodes on a 6LowPan 915MHz mesh network and bridge them via WiFi to the IBM Watson cloud. Device management of the sensor nodes is done in the cloud using a management protocol called LWM2M that allows configuration and monitoring of motion and proximity in applications such as Smart Appliances monitoring and control. Complete middleware to build applications to connect to Wi-Fi and IBM Watson cloud.
