Smart Parking System with research on Thread Communication Protocol
Abstract
Nowadays, enhancements in technology and areas in the automobile community has resulted in almost every individual making use of an automobile entity, due to this there has been significant increase in industrial and personal advancements but this has also resulted in increase in traffic, congestion, pollution and many more areas of concern. Smart parking systems (SPS) has been a topic of discussion for several years. Blockchain, IoT and network solutions have been proposed in order to ease the use of parking systems and tackle inconveniences caused due to lack of parking spaces. A major route of research in this domain is the use of IoT devices and wireless communication protocols to back it up. Many devices such as sensors, actuators, RFID’s, Zigbee communication protocol, NB-IoT communication protocol, Edge computing and much more have contributed to significant positive changes in the parking sector. In this paper, we intend on implementing a new communication protocol which eases the use of connectivity between IoT devices in an environment known as Thread Mesh protocol which was introduced in 2015 by Thread inc. Even though there has been extensive research done on IoT based SPS’s, security seems to be a major concern in majority of IoT devices and protocols, Thread communication protocol aims at reducing the risk of security attacks in a smart parking-system due to its in-built cryptography, commissioning, adaptation to PAN (Personal Area Network) and many more features that we intend on discussing and implementing in this paper.

Relevance and Originality
The project addresses a significant and timely issue within urban mobility: the need for efficient parking solutions amid rising traffic and pollution. The focus on Smart Parking Systems (SPS) aligns well with current technological advancements and urban planning needs. Introducing the Thread Mesh protocol as a potential solution offers originality, particularly in the context of enhancing IoT connectivity in smart cities.
Methodology
The mention of various IoT devices and communication protocols is beneficial; however, the methodology section could be strengthened by detailing how the Thread Mesh protocol will be implemented within the SPS framework. A clear description of the research design, including any experimental setups or simulations, would enhance the understanding of the proposed approach. Additionally, discussing the criteria for selecting specific devices and protocols would provide more depth.
Validity & Reliability
To assess the validity of the findings, it would be useful to outline how the proposed system's performance will be evaluated against existing solutions. Metrics for success, such as response time, scalability, and security robustness, should be specified. Addressing potential challenges in real-world implementation and how they will be mitigated could improve the reliability of the outcomes.
Clarity and Structure
The project presents its objectives clearly, but it could benefit from a more structured layout. Organizing the content into distinct sections—such as introduction, methodology, results, and discussion—would enhance readability. Visual aids like diagrams of the proposed system architecture or flowcharts illustrating data flow within the smart parking system could further clarify the concepts.
Result Analysis
While the paper indicates a focus on security through the Thread protocol, it lacks specific details on how the effectiveness of this approach will be measured. Providing empirical data from simulations or case studies demonstrating the advantages of using the Thread protocol in SPS would strengthen the argument. Discussing potential implications for users and urban planners, along with any limitations of the approach, would also enrich the analysis.
