Abstract

Parking slot detection is becoming an important application field for vehicular ad hoc networks potentials. Indeed, it is commonly known that one of the main causes of cities traffic congestion is the free parking slot search, which also constitutes a huge waste of time for drivers. In this work, our aim is to propose a smart algorithm for parking slot detection, by relying on existing approaches for memory allocation in operating systems. The isomorphism between these two problems is pretty intuitive, since we can map a parking area to the central memory of a computer, and vehicles to be parked to processes to be executed. In this scenario, we customize the existent algorithms in order to introduce a parameter which, in our opinion, is essential in order to guarantee a fast vehicle allocation: the distance between the parking slot and the place the driver intends to reach. The experimental results show that this destination-based approach makes the allocation of a given queue of vehicles faster than the existing ones.
