Optimizing the Power Use of Parking-Related Sensor Nodes

Abstract

Since WSNs bring together cutting-edge sensor technology with cutting-edge network algorithms, they are an important area for future study. A wide range of environmental monitoring and information collecting applications may benefit from wireless sensor networks (WSNs). An important point will be made in this article. Using WSN, construct a parking management structure. A number of sensor nodes are installed in the parking field as part of the parking management system to indicate whether or not a parking spot is occupied. A base station at the parking entrance receives information on the status of the parking spots and uses it to direct cars. Nodes have built-in batteries that provide power for the sensors. Sensor nodes rely on this energy source heavily, and it has a direct impact on the nodes' lifespans and, by extension, the health of the whole WSN. Hybrid communication method is proposed in this work in order to reduce energy usage. The suggested parking management architecture is compared to the three ways of communication; a multi-hop, a single hop, and a hybrid.
