1 Introduction

At the present, the construction and development of China's smart city is closely
related to all walks of life. The construction of smart park refers to concept and theory
of smart city to a large extent, it is a regional epitome, and its development model can
effectively promote smart city's construction and development [1]. This paper summa-
rizes and concludes the high-quality ideas and detours of smart park development,
rapidly and timely revises development program and ideas of smart park, thereby
effectively promote the development of smart city. In present, the Internet of Things
technology is still in the initial stage, a variety of technologies have to be developed
and improved. The technology and level of information processing analysis determine
the intelligent processing level of Internet of Things to a large extent. Cloud compu-
ting and intelligent identification are the mainly advanced technology [2]. Among
them, the status of cloud computing is particularly significant; it is the core of the
Internet of Things. It effectively promotes the integration IoT and Internet, and im-
proves the realization of intelligence earth.
The purpose of smart park construction is multifaceted, but mainly through the
construction of smart park to solve the problems like poor communication, duplica-
tion resources and information island, to achieve business and park win-win goal [3].
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study and propose an effective solution to

the information island based on the information and intelligent technology. Through
the intelligent construction of environmental monitoring, transportation, security and
information fusion to provide a reliable basic hardware and software, a variety of
shared resources, cost-effective services and management.

2 State of the art

At this stage, the construction and development of smart city is quite hot in our
country and it influences all walks of life. Smart park is a significant component and
epitome of smart city, and its promotion and development model has a great role in
promoting smart city. By discovering the advantages and disadvantages of the devel-
opment and construction of the smart park, we can timely revise the development
strategy of the smart city to avoid the detours of smart city process, and enhance the
efficiency of smart city development process.
Smart park solutions are based on cloud computing, Internet of Things, and opera-
tions support. They are able to quickly and easily create, interconnect and organically
combine the applications for various SaaS applications and Internet of Things [4]. For
the park infrastructure to provide a new generation of green cloud computing data
center and broadband bearer, access and indoor coverage network, build the basic
network platform, provide seamless data access. Through the park service platform to
provide various services business applications for the park settled enterprises, and
provide operational management business applications for the park operations man-
agement units through the park management platform.
Smart park, which has “perception” or “thought”, can fully collect the parks’ of re-
al-time information of relevant departments, location. It also provides efficient and
timely comprehensive information and aid decision for individuals through intelligent
processing. Smart park has four characteristics including demand as driving force, all-
round perception, internal-external development and multi-party collaboration. In the
design and construction of smart park, it is necessary to strictly follow the stability,
security, scalability, flexible information technology infrastructure, resource alloca-
tion deployment automation, multi-type billing service mode, comprehensive resource
monitoring and emergency management, openness and other principles [5].
Based on the characteristics and construction principle of smart park, smart park is
not equivalent to the previous wireless city and digital city, it’s one of the new form
city and it integrates “wisdom” and “smart”. Therefore, successful smart park must
have four major characteristics, including innovation, interconnection, multi-party
integration, service management.
In recent years, modern science and technology has undergone tremendous chang-
es, especially in the computer network technology, information technology, automatic
intelligent control technology and Internet of things and so on. With the development
of digital and Web technology, the future development trend of the social construction
industry is bound to be more digital and intelligent.

manage the vehicles in the park through the Internet of Things technology, which
greatly improves the efficiency of logistics and reduces the cost of logistics.
Based on the smart grid architecture of the intelligent campus infrastructure net-
work, Miao Jiabo and Qiu Suchuan put forward the construction of smart grid to pro-
mote the park telecommunications network, the Internet, radio and television net-
works, networking and other multi-network integration. It not only reduces the cost of
infrastructure construction, but also improves the construction efficiency. This will
effectively promote the wisdom of the park construction.
Based on the analysis of the demand for the construction of the wisdom park, Xu
Yanyan studies the Internet of Things era wisdom park construction program, includ-
ing the use of Internet of Things technology platform for the construction of the wis-
dom of the park, intelligent park intelligent system access platform ideas and access
methods. In the end, she completed the construction of intelligent platform based on
M2M technology platform architecture and passed the test.
In summary, the above research not only reduces the cost of infrastructure con-
struction, but also improves the efficiency of construction. However, these infrastruc-
tures are not smart enough. Therefore, we construct smart park platform by using the
Internet of Things technology, to realize the access of intelligent systems and equip-
ment within park, and to effectively coordinate the various systems in the park. Tak-
ing advantage of the key technologies of Internet of Things and cloud computing,
smart park information hardware architecture and technical solutions are put forward,
the sensor and wireless Internet of Things are applied to realize the system.

3 Methods

3.1 System hardware design

Smart park information system architecture is based on the ITU (International Tel-
ecommunication Union) architecture. The Internet of Things technical framework
includes the perception layer technology, network layer technology, and application
layer technology. System architecture is based on the perception, network, application
three-layer structure, to achieve interconnection and resource sharing in a uniform
standard. Through a variety of types of sensor deployment and setup, quickly and
multi-directional precept park's information, through the transmission network send
data to application system, and generate relevant information through the application
system for display and processing.
Based on the actual information needs of park and system function, smart park in-
formation system generally includes environmental intelligent monitoring, intelligent
transportation, intelligent security, intelligent integration processing, public infor-
mation publishing services, and geographic information systems [6]. This paper fo-
cuses on the design of intelligent security modules and intelligent fusion processing
modules.
Intelligent security adopts video surveillance to monitor the road, buildings and
factories in the whole day surrounding the park. By displaying the distribution of all

the video resources intuitively on the GIS map, operator can quickly choose and open
the video image with mouse, in order to achieve video control based on GIS map.
Based on the analysis of an abundant of video behavior, the utilization and reliability
of system are improved. In this paper, intelligent security is based on the video con-
trol, we take advantage of cloud storage platform characteristic of massive storage
platform and comprehensive analysis, comprehensively utilize video resources to
achieve the park intelligent analysis, including staff-intensive alarm, boundary illegal
stay warning, and suspicious items warning in specific areas [7~8]. The diagram is
shown in Figure 1.

The main function of the intelligent fusion processing module is to receive and
fuse the alarm information (such as toxic gas leakage alarm) from the intelligent envi-
ronment monitoring system, to get the traffic accident sent by intelligent transporta-
tion system, to obtain illegal intrusion information sent by intelligent security system.

After the communication with park security personnel is finished, appropriate

measures will be taken. In this paper, we set the intelligent integration system of park
management center, and realize multi-angle and multi-directional information fusion
in order to make the information generated more comprehensive and timely. Through
the interconnection with the park unit and the municipal police system, the hospital
and other departments, we will quickly deal with emergencies for achieving rapid and
effective the accident handing, and reduce harm of emergencies, solve the information
island phenomenon formed in sub-system. The diagram is shown in Figure 2.

3.2 System software design

Data collection is indispensable in the construction of smart park, only the real-
time data collection could obtain timely decisions. The current data acquisition and
processing functions are simpler. For example, we can use smoke sensor to monitor
the toxic gases in the environment, and use temperature sensor to monitor the ambient
temperature. When the smoke sensor detects the toxic gas, it will trigger the wireless
transmission module and sends the alarm information to the data receiving processing
part. And temperature sensor will send the real-time ambient temperature and other
information through the wireless transmission module to the data receiving processing
part. The processing flow is shown in Figure 3.
In the intelligent security module, the cloud computing and cloud storage platform
can be used as the basis, to effectively offer the support to the large video surveillance
system within park, including: various types of sensor access, video data storage and
forwarding, intelligent analysis and processing, high-speed retrieval, etc. Cloud com-
puting information system can make the massive data service quick requests possible.
Through introducing SOA, we could build video resource application architecture

based on service, meet the user demand from units, departments, individual within
park, which have different levels and numbers, and improve the massive resources of
the database high-speed retrieval capabilities. This system has high reliability, in the
process of large-capacity video forwarding, storage and processing, it can realizes
several functions, including electronic patrol, abnormal behavior and items monitor-
ing, and key areas monitoring. Electronic patrol function is based on video surveil-
lance network system, which greatly solves the shortcomings of traditional patrol
system. The park security personnel can complete the key road monitoring work not
in the field. Through the function, the personnel can find the suspicious “target” in
time, and deal with it in advance, arrange other personnel who in field rushed to the
scene, in order to greatly improve the speed of event handling. The software flow is
shown in Figure 4.
Through the effective integration of intelligent environment monitoring system, in-
telligent transportation system, and intelligent security system, we can intelligently
identify the same event, tackle its information island phenomenon based on preset
judging principle, and achieve comprehensive display of park information. The con-
trol center receives the information of intelligent environment monitoring system,
intelligent transportation system, and intelligent security system, etc. We also can
identify the same event based on preset judging principle, and obtain fusion result and
auxiliary decision-making plan (need manual confirmation), and then tackle the same
event. Intelligent fusion processing flow chart is shown in Figure 5.

4 Experiment

Based on smart park information system of Internet of things and cloud computing,
the intelligent security system is selected as an example to solve the problem of time-
ly interconnection of information departments. It can be said that it is a typical intelli-
gent interconnection park information system.
The experiment selects the video server based on cloud computing to realize the ef-
fective monitoring of the abnormal behavior in the park. We select Acro Tetra digital
cluster single carrier base station SB421 as outdoor base station, and select Sepu-
raSRH3800, and it integrates the world's leading GPS module. SepumsRH3800’s
positioning sensitivity is -152dbm, tracking sensitivity is -155dbm, and it can faster
and easier precede locating than the average GPS receiver even among the buildings.
It also passed the drop and vibration test of ETs300019Drop & Vibration, and it’s
waterproof and dustproof value meet IEc529IP54 standard, storage temperature range
is -40
~85
, the ambient temperature range is -20
~60
, and it can reach the low
temperature storage and use. We select AcroUlliteU7200 as integrated communica-
tion platform, which is a new type of communication system. It can integrate wired
and wireless communications, analog communication and digital communications,
TDM and IP and other communications networks into a seamless network, in order to
achieve interconnection between the various networks and unified command and
dispatch.
The practicality picture of SepuraSRH3800 is shown in Figure 6.

4.1 Experimental procedure

This experiment mainly has three sections; the first section is cluster terminal posi-
tioning display. The specific method of this part is to numbering three sepu-
rasRH3800 digital cluster hand-held terminals as A, B, C. Then we store the park map
in the intelligent security system, when we receive location information sent by hand-
held terminal A, B, C, we could compare it with the actual position of A, B, C. The
second part is staff gathered alarm and fusion processing distribution, and the specific
method is to enclose the monitoring areas, set the maximum number of people inten-
sive in intelligent security system. This experiment set to 15, when the actual number
larger than 15, intelligent security system will give the alarm tips, obtain traffic in-
formation and environment information of control points, generate comprehensive
information after the integration process, distribute to the terminal of relevant staff,
and test the accuracy of system according to actual situation. The third part is the
interconnection of PSTN and cluster hand-held terminal, mobile. And PSTN inter-
connect the cluster hand-held terminal A, B, C based on schedule dialing. Cluster D
interconnect with digital cluster terminals A, B, C. Cluster D interconnect with mobile
E.

4.2 Experimental results and discussion

We experiment 10 times for cluster terminal positioning, and record the distance
between positioning and actual location of each time.
The implementation interface for cluster terminal location is shown in Figure 7.
The results are shown in Figure 8.

It can be seen from Figure 6, A, B, C cluster terminal positioning error within 4

meters and it indicates the accuracy of system positioning is high, thereby meet the
daily needs of smart park.
In the experiment of personnel gathering alarm and fusion processing distribution,
when the number of people in video more than 15, the intelligent security system will
automatically give an alarm, and report the alarm information (location and number of
aggregation limit) to the intelligent integration system. The experiment were carried
out 10 times in the park at different locations, the experimental results are shown in

Table 1. System function test results

As we can be seen from Table 2, when the number of people in the video more
than 15, the system will automatically send an alarm. But in some situations, the vid-
eo angle is not incomplete, and all people unable appear in the same video screen. But
now, this system has met the daily needs of smart park.
PSTN interconnect digital cluster hand-held terminals A, B, C by dispatch station
dialing, and the voice is clarity. Cluster D interconnect digital cluster terminals A, B,
C, and the voice is clarity. Cluster D interconnect designated mobile phone, and the
voice is clarity. Therefore, this system can achieve timely and effective communica-
tion of emergencies.
