First Article
In the article "A navigation and reservation-based smart parking platform using genetic optimization for smart cities," Aydin, Karakose, and Karakose (2017) state that people who go to work in cities have an issue finding a parking slot. Cities are flooded daily with cars looking for parking, and this results in traffic jams in the big cities. However, the authors believe that the emergence of new smart city applications can offer a solution to traffic snarls in the cities. The applications will aid drivers in locating vacant parking slots with a click on their smart device. Recent technological developments have been on the rise, and people are increasingly using smart devices for different purposes every day (Aydin, Karakose, & Karakose, 2017). Following this realization, the authors found it essential to conduct a study to assess the efficiency of smart devices for smart cities. Through the use of the internet of things, smart city applications were tested in terms of locating free parking space and how accurate they are.
Smart city applications are developing rapidly, thanks to the growth of the internet of things and cloud computing technology. The study was conducted with extra caution to avoid leaking confidential information to untrusted networks. The logic in this study dictates that the technology used in the smart application is connected to different objects which are attached to cables or wireless technologies to facilitate communication via the internet. The results were obtained using the ASP.Net through the help of the roulette wheel method for selection (Aydin, Karakose, & Karakose, 2017). The primary purpose of the study was to propose a new optimal navigated reservation-based approach that would assist drivers in finding free parking slots in smart cities. The researcher established that the use of a genetic algorithm can provide real-time results to drivers whose current locations are connected to smart city application.

In 1885, the first automobile was introduced. The invention marked a historical period that will change the way humans lived by bettering their life. According to Somani et al. (2018), the automobile industry has been growing at a rapid pace with new inventions emerging rapidly to the point of becoming a disaster. The automobile industry has become a problem for many people, especially those accessing cities. Governments worldwide have been forced to create educative initiatives and talents to address the issue of the increased number of manufactured cars. One of the initiatives is the idea of smart cities that many see a probable solution to the menace of congestion. Both the citizens and governments are waiting for a time when the concept of smart cities and originality will no longer be a fantasy but a reality that will transform the cities (Somani et al., 2018). Somani et al. (2018) state that drivers waste more time looking for parking spaces than time spent driving. It is an indication that finding a free parking space is a problem that needs an immediate and long-lasting solution.
The authors appeal to the authorities to develop and implement the concept of Smart Parking Solution into the real world situation. In this approach, different parking slots within cities will be equipped with smart parking devices that will be connected to the internet for data transmission. Specifically, the connection will be on the cloud where the device will be able to give out Real-time data from the installed sensor and indicate where there is free parking space. The primary goal of implementing these devices is to provide a solution for drivers on parking matter and, at the same time, reduce traffic congestion. The best idea is to use a friendlier app that will be easy to use for the user and cost-effective for the companies to implement (Somani et al., 2018). The authors concluded that this project would be more productive, especially, with the arrival of automated vehicles, which are more improved in terms of technological matters.
