Arduino Uno - The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the

Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino.cc.[2][3] The board is


equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to
various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits.[1] The board has 14 digital I/O pins (six
capable of PWM output), 6 analog I/O pins, and is programmable with the Arduino IDE
(Integrated Development Environment), via a type B USB cable.[4] It can be powered by the
USB cable or by an external 9-volt battery, though it accepts voltages between 7 and 20 volts. It
is similar to the Arduino Nano and Leonardo.[5][6] The hardware reference design is distributed
under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and is available on the Arduino
website. Layout and production files for some versions of the hardware are also available.

Cloud Technology - Cloud computing[1] is the on-demand availability of computer system


resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active
management by the user.[2] The term is generally used to describe data centers available to
many users over the Internet.[3] Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions
distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is
relatively close, it may be designated an edge server.

Internet of Things (IoT) – The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing
devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring
human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

Marginal Error – The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling
error in the results of a survey. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence one should
have that a poll result would reflect the result of a survey of the entire population. The margin
of error will be positive whenever a population is incompletely sampled and the outcome
measure has positive variance, which is to say, the measure varies.

Microcontroller – A microcontroller (MCU for microcontroller unit) is a small computer on a


single metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chip. A microcontroller contains
one or more CPUs (processor cores) along with memory and programmable input/output
peripherals.

Smart Parking System – Smart Parking is a parking strategy that combines technology and
human innovation in an effort to use as few resources as possible—such as fuel, time and space
—to achieve faster, easier and denser parking of vehicles for the majority of time they remain
idle.

Ultrasonic Sensor – An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures the distance of a
target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an
electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the sound
that humans can hear).

Wi-Fi Module - The ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is a self-contained SOC with integrated TCP/IP
protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. The ESP8266 is
capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from
another application processor.
