Abstract. In several works, the purpose of a smart parking is to find the most optimal location for a given situation, either in favor of the driver or in favor of the company offering this service. Thought in many papers, driver’s health is usually overlooked when it comes to invisible or temporary illnesses. However, in this article, we try to come up with a parking solution that takes into consideration normal people and invisible disabilities. Keywords: Smart parking  Smart health

 Queuing theory  Arena Rockwell

1 Introduction Our motivating scenario deals with people with vulnerable health condition searching for a free parking place nearest to their destination. Our work builds upon a real life problem, i.e., the lack of consideration for invisible disabilities to find a parking place adequate to their situation. Indeed, the comfort of smart parking is proposed for two kinds of people normal people and handicapped people. What for people with invisible disabilities like chronic diseases or temporary illness? However, we try to propose a smart parking system which takes account all kinds of people. We propose a system that takes into consideration the health status of drivers when allocating available seats. Drivers with a vulnerable health status are given priority to access to the nearest parking spot from their destination. As for other drivers, normal health state, are managed according to the “first come, first served” principle. In this article, we simulate the propose parking system with arena Rockwell based on the queuing theory. In this article, we study the case of a parking lot of a private establishment where the majorities of the arrivals are already known by the system. This paper is organized as follows: Sect. 2 provide an overview of the most relevant research Works which served as an inspiration for this article. Sections 3 outline the proposed parking system with a simulation in Arena Rockwell. Section 4 provides the experimental results and Sect. 5 concludes the paper.

Mobile Phone Sensing for Pervasive Healthcare

The detection of health parameters such as activity and heart rate using the built-in or external sensors of the mobile phone has enabled the development of a wide range of applications for personalized health surveillance and management [1]. These applications are intended to strengthen the role of patients in the delivery of health care services, enabling them to cope with their health status while leaving the hospital and carrying out their daily activities. The value of frequent self-monitoring of health parameters has been demonstrated in several clinical guidelines [2, 3]. Patients (especially those with chronic conditions) may be frequently involved in the process of collecting personal health data in order to achieve better health outcomes [2]. These data may include vital signs me
