Abstract:
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. Every day, more than 1.5 million cars travel throughout the city. Hanoi is experiencing serious traffic congestion and a major shortage of parking spaces, with current facilities satisfying only 8–10% of total demand. The rapid increase in private vehicle ownership, growing by 10–15% each year, has encouraged the city to implement Intelligent Parking Systems (IPS) powered by IoT and AI technologies. Key strategies include the construction of high-rise mechanical parking structures and underground parking facilities integrated with new Metro stations. These systems use ultrasonic and geomagnetic sensors to detect parking occupancy and send real-time data to a centralized database. In addition, advanced computer vision algorithms based on OpenCV are applied for automatic license plate recognition and security surveillance. Drivers can access parking information through mobile applications, allowing them to reserve spaces online and navigate efficiently to available parking spots. Although the high urban density of historic areas such as Hanoi Old Quarter presents challenges, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) models provide a sustainable solution for urban integration. Studies have shown that these smart parking technologies outperform traditional parking management methods in terms of accuracy, reliability, and reduced search time. Ultimately, the development of intelligent parking systems is expected to improve Hanoi’s urban infrastructure by easing traffic congestion and enhancing the overall driver experience. The paper presents solutions that applied IoT and AI technologies for the development of intelligent parking systems in Hanoi, Vietnam.
