Abstract
Car parking is a major problem in urban areas in developed and also in developing countries. The growing number of vehicles creates a problem with parking spaces mainly in the city center and the surrounding streets. The local authorities have to react with regulations, and the current situation is unpleasant for many citizens. Therefore, the aim of this article is to propose a complex outdoor smart parking lot system based on the mini PC platform with the pilot implementation, which would provide a solution for the aforementioned problem. Current outdoor car park management is dependent on human personnel keeping track of the available parking lots or a sensor-based system that monitors the availability of each car. The proposed solution utilizes a modern IoT approach and technologies such as mini PC platform, sensors, and IQRF. When compared to a specialized and expensive system, it is a solution that is cost-effective and has the potential in its expansion and integration with other IoT services.

A lack of knowledge of current number of parking spaces can lead the drivers to fully occupied parking lots, which leads to having to move to another location, along with searching for a spot on another parking lot. erefore, do the drivers waste their time, and fuel, and it all causes the deterioration of the traffic situation and negatively affects the environment
Summary
An analysis of the approach to the smart parking solution must be performed. e article IoT-Based Smart Parking System [1] is a prominent input in this area, which is to [2] and describes the architecture of a smart parking system based on the IoT (Internet of ings) technology. Tsai et al.[5] describe the use of a mobile app and Internet of ings (IoT) technology in the parking system: the process of finding a parking lot, parking space reservation, and indoor navigation inside the parking lot Another topic is finding the suitable algorithm to calculate the priority for recommending a specific parking lot based on the distance of the driver from the parking lot, number of free parking spaces, and the parking fee, with the preferences being set up by the user. E proposed solution enables opening the parking lot gate directly from the mobile app by adding an entry into the real-time database. When entering the parking lot, it is checked whether there are available spots or if the driver who is sending a request to open the gate has a reservation saved in the database.
