IoT BASED EV SMART PARKING AND GREEN CHARGING SYSTEM

Abstract

Present decade has seen the growth and advancements in Electric Vehicle (EV). For the LPG and diesel cars that produce pollution and pose as threat to the environment, EVs are an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative particularly for CO2 reduction and alternative energy purposes. With the growing popularity of EV, there is a need for their charging ports. And parking of vehicles has always been a cumbersome task. And hence, EV also requires an efficient parking system. The project that we are working on involves a “Smart Parking as well as Green Charging system of EV”. We are building an IOT based Car Parking System using Node MCU, Arduino UNO, Servomotor and 6 IR sensors. We use Internet of Things (IoT) for a hassle-free parking system and getting the information on Blynk application about the slot availability. Second part of project is charging the EV using a 15V solar panel that is used to charge a 12V battery on the platform where car is parked
