Cyber space is now an essential part of our societies and economies, and may even become a determining factor in our lives. Even though most of business and projects, especially those in transnational environment, are highly dependent on information technology, many of them underestimate the risks of cyberspace and suffer business costs caused by hacker attacks, viruses and malware. Cybercrime is already flourishing in areas with weak cyber governance like in Eastern Europe, and consequently in Romania. International, EU regional and national vigilance and collaborative intelligence are crucial. A global dialogue among governments, society, and the private sector, can help create agreement on how to secure the Internet economy. Romania government should also cooperate in developing an international and regional information exchange and early warning mechanisms in cooperation with strategic partners, USA and NATO, for rapid reaction in case of crisis, as well as establishing EU Cyberspace Policy Framework.

In recent decades, the number of urban vehicles has risen rapidly, causing problems such as traffic congestion and prolonged parking space search. In order to overcome the problem of parking space searches, large overground/ underground car parks have been built in city centers and other high-demand areas for parking spaces, such as office buildings, malls, airports. Technology based intelligence systems developed within Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) should be implemented to inform drivers of the number of available parking spaces and their distribution between different parking spaces or between different levels of a specific place parking. These ITS-based information systems use different sensors to detect the presence of machines on a parking space such as magnetic, infrared or ultrasound sensors and belong to classic parking management systems. These sensors must be installed in each parking space and require significant installation and maintenance efforts. The goal of this study is to develop such a parking control system that monitors and informs about the amount of parking space available.
