IOT Based Smart Parking System With E-Ticketing

Abstract

Now-a-days the concept and the use of Internet Of Things is gaining huge popularity with increase of smart cities. To increase the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure consistent development is being made in the field of IoT. The population in the smart cities is huge and most of the people living in these smart cities own their vehicle. Due to the limited parking facilities problems such as traffic congestion is being continued in these smart cities. Due to this people waste their time in finding the parking slots. Also while parking the vehicle in multi complex areas people will be charged to park their vehicle. During their exit they should pay the amount charged for parking their vehicle and here with the use of physical money the payment process gets delayed and hence it leads to the traffic congestion. In this paper, an IoT based smart parking system with E-ticketing was proposed. Here, In this parking system we are using Arduino UNO as the processing unit and RFID cards to identify each vehicle individually and deduct the charge for the parking before they enter into parking area. Only if there is sufficient amount in the account of that particular vehicle owner, it will be deducted and a message will be sent to their mobile phone and the gate will open to park their vehicle. Also the slots that are available for parking will be shown on the display so that the user can directly head towards that slot without wasting much time. By this we can minimize the time that is being wasted by the user in finding a vacant parking slot to park the vehicle.
