Arquitectura estándar para plataforma de pagos electrónicos de parqueaderos automatizados en Bogotá

Abstract

This project addresses the need to centralize electronic payments in automated parking lots by proposing and implementing a standard architecture. Through an iterative methodology, a system was designed and developed that allows interoperability with different parking systems, guaranteeing scalability, security, and ease of use. The work included the analysis of factors that hinder the adoption of electronic payments, the definition of minimum architectural components, and the implementation of architectural styles and patterns suitable for integrating heterogeneous services. During development, a service-oriented architecture (SOA) supported by an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) was implemented, facilitating integration with external APIs, such as payment gateways and parking systems. Advanced security measures were also adopted, including the delegation of authentication to an external provider and the encryption of data at rest and in transit. These technical decisions ensured a robust system that could adapt to future changes. The results obtained validated the effectiveness of the solution, managing to satisfy the functional and non-functional requirements raised. This work not only presents a practical solution for the digitalization of parking payments, but also establishes a replicable technical framework for similar projects in other sectors. Finally, future lines of research are proposed, focused on the evolution towards architectures based on microservices and serverless systems, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence tools to optimize the user experience.
