Abstract


Many technologies are needed to build computational systems in the context of Smart Cities. At present, the construction of scalable, intelligent and ubiquitous systems is a constant challenge for developers. The evolution of the Internet of Things is one of the several paths to be pursued with the aid of this development. In this way, new models and platforms have been proposed to support the development of its applications. Allied to this challenge this work presents a generic and a conceptual model of an IoT application for Smart Parking. This model is implemented as RFID and RaspberryPi. In addition, it eval- uates the ThingSpeak cloud service for its use as an IoT platform.

Keywords: ThingSpeak, Internet of Things, Smart Parking, Platform
