Abstract

Smart cities still promise a lot for residents, despite the millions of smart services and applications that have changed many of our lifestyles for the better in various fields such as transportation, health, education, services, business, and others. However, users want more of these services that make their lives easier and more sophisticated. Traffic congestion is one of the most common problems that smart cities seek to solve by employing many IoT technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, in addition to costly infrastructure development processes. This research highlights that parking in some streets and vital places in cities is an important factor in traffic congestion. It also introduces the idea of an intelligent system to solve this problem by enabling the automatic pre-reservation process for vacant positions by users before reaching the venue and then adjusting the process based on automatic detection of the composite plate using a proposed web application based on the OCR algorithm. The application has been implemented to confirm the ease of applying this system in some streets of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to reduce traffic congestion and improve the level of transport sector services as well as the level of safety of citizens.
