INNOVATIVE PROPOSAL FOR INTELLIGENT PARKING BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN
Raya Stoyanova, Filip Batalov
Abstract: A conceptual multilayer Edge architecture for blockchain-based intelligent parking is proposed. Each parking unit combines a camera and supplementary sensors with an ESP32 or Arduino Mega controller. NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano performs computer vision, sensor fusion, and decision-making locally. A permissioned blockchain network records reservations, state transitions, payments, and verifiable evidence through smart contracts. The time-critical actuation loop is separated from blockchain confirmation and remains local. The sensor vector, occupancy estimation, hysteresis, telemetry packets, authenticated commands, and communication latency are formalized. Video data, personal data, and detailed telemetry are stored off-chain. Only hashes and the minimum required business evidence are recorded in the distributed ledger. The proposed model provides a reproducible basis for prototyping and quantitative verification.
