IoT Based Smart Parking System

Abstract

Abstract: The IoT-based smart parking system represents an innovative approach to alleviating the prevalent issues of parking shortages and traffic congestion in modern cities. By integrating advanced hardware components and software applications, this system aims to enhance transportation efficiency and sustainability while improving commuter experiences. At its core lies the ESP32 microcontroller, orchestrating data processing from various sensors including parking and traffic IR sensors. These sensors enable real-time monitoring of parking availability and traffic flow, with data seamlessly transmitted to an LCD display for immediate visualization. Additionally, commuters can access this information remotely through a mobile application or web portal, empowering them to make informed travel decisions. The system's standout feature, the smart parking allocation system (SPAS), allows users to locate and reserve parking spaces in advance, effectively reducing the time spent searching for spots and consequently mitigating traffic congestion. Overall, the integration of IoT technology into transportation infrastructure offers a promising solution to the challenges of urban mobility, fostering efficiency, sustainability, and improved commuter satisfaction.
