Abstract: The ever-increasing urbanization and the proliferation of vehicles have led to a critical challenge in metropolitan areas: finding available parking spaces efficiently. This paper gives an idea about IoT-based Smart Parking System with Slot Reservation to address the above issue. The system leverages the power of the IoT to monitor and manage parking spaces in real-time, offering users the ability to reserve parking spots in advance, the suggested setup comprises of several key components, including a network of IoT sensors placed in parking lots, a centralized server, and a user-friendly website or mobile application. These IoT sensors are strategically installed in parking spaces and continuously monitor their status. They detect the presence or absence of vehicles, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information about parking availability.
The collected data from the provided sensors is transmitted to the centralized server, which processes and updates the information in real-time. The heart of the setup stays in the website, which allows users not only check the parking space’s accessibility in their vicinity but also reserve a spot before arriving at the parking lot. Users can view a map displaying all available parking spaces and select the one that suits their needs. Our project also contains automated ticketing system from which user will get a booking detail along with QR code to their email id. Once a parking spot is reserved, it becomes temporarily unavailable for other users, ensuring that the user has a guaranteed space upon arrival.
