With rapid economic and technological development, China’s private-car ownership has multiplied year by year; by end of 2020 it exceeded 200 million, intensifying the “parking difficulty” problem and posing severe challenges to urban parking resources. To standardize parking and improve traffic, provinces and cities have issued policies. With plate recognition, IoT and e-payment widespread, “smart parking” is seen as an effective solution, and smart cloud parking has emerged.
