The document describes a Sensoro Beacon device that uses Bluetooth and embedded sensors like proximity, temperature, light, and accelerometer to help solve smart parking problems. The beacons would be installed in parking lots, use sensors to detect if a space is occupied, and send that data to the cloud to inform a mobile app of available spaces near the user's location in real-time. This is expected to improve the customer parking experience by reducing time spent searching for a space.

What is it?
A beacon is a small device
that, thanks to Bluetooth
Low Energy Technology,
can communicate with
smartphones and tablets

A smartest way
to find parking lots
Don’t waste your time
Go straight where
you want to go

6. Giuseppe Capaldi, Gianluca Capozzi, Daniele Davoli Internet of Things 2019
Expected results
Improve the customers
experience by reducing the
time to find a parking and
collect data to estimate the
cars flow in the parking area.

How does it work?
Given the parking lots map,
install the SENSORO
SmartBeacon-4AA devices in
any lot to estimate its state:
free or busy, thought the
proximity and lighting built-in
sensors

8. Giuseppe Capaldi, Gianluca Capozzi, Daniele Davoli Internet of Things 2019
Each lot is assigned to a
device associated with an ID
used to locate the lot in the
map

9. Giuseppe Capaldi, Gianluca Capozzi, Daniele Davoli Internet of Things 2019
To the Cloud
Each lot state is sent to the
cloud where the data are
stored and collected in order
to use it for application
services and analytics.

To the Mobile App
The mobile map shows the
free parking slots around the
user based on its GPS
position.
