Abstract—Nowadays, drivers have great difficulty finding a parking space easily due to the traffic congestion in some areas and the distribution of car parks within the city. This work aims to design a new system that will allow a vehicle driver to find the best route between his real-time position and parking with available places in a specific area. Our system is based on a distributed swarm intelligence strategy using the ant colony algorithm, cloud system, and multi-agent systems to offer an optimal solution toward the nearest car park in the city. Our solution will improve the use of available parking in the city.
