IoT Based Smart Parking Ecosystem with Connected Wireless Induction Chargers

Nowadays the EV car industry is getting more evolved, and OEMs are providing more autonomous and IoT features in the vehicle to provide more comfort to users. Government and local authorities are upgrading the charging infrastructure in the different areas of the cities like shopping malls and near petrol pumps. One of the problems with the EV vehicle is the charging duration, which is time-consuming. Each time a person visits a charging station, there is a probability that the charger would be occupied also human assistance is required to insert the charging gun into the vehicle. This paper proposes a smart parking ecosystem with induction chargers connected to a wireless network and gives an idea about how an EV vehicle is connected to the same network for information exchange between vehicles and wireless induction chargers. This paper discusses a situation in which, if all parking lots with chargers are occupied and the subject vehicle is parked within the geofence area without a charger, the vehicle will self-park whenever any charger becomes available for charging without human intervention. This paper also addresses minimum IoT and ADAS features needed in vehicles and authentication/permission required from the user side to use the facility.
