Proposta de um sistema de gestão de vagas de estacionamento baseado em internet of things (IoT): Parque Municipal de estacionamento do Mercado Central – Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

This study focused on the inefficiency in parking management at the Central Market Municipal Park in Maputo, proposing an IoT-based solution. Objectives included analyzing current management, comparing IoT solutions, creating an integrated model, and developing a functional prototype. It was concluded that the current approach is inefficient, leading to congestion and frustration. The absence of modern technologies was identified as a limitation in urban parking. The methodology involved creating an IoT model to optimize space usage and provide real-time information. Prototype implementation was successful in a test environment, validating the practical viability of the proposed solution. Conclusions highlighted the need for an IoT-based Parking Management System to enhance efficiency and user experience in Maputo. Recommendations include implementing the system in the Municipal Park, continuous evaluation, personnel training, and reviewing pricing policies. References encompass local traffic laws, parking concepts, and studies related to parking management and IoT. The study offers an innovative approach to address urban parking challenges, providing tangible benefits to the community and municipal management.
