Smart Parking System using IOT

Abstract

Due to the growing number of automobiles on the road, there is a significant increase in demand for parking spots in metropolitan areas. Therefore, motorists constantly struggle to find good parking spots. Moreover, the existing parking system is ineffective, and also long lines and traffic jams are caused due to manual issuing of parking fees. In order to address these issues and offer a hassle-free parking experience, there is an urgent need of an automated parking system. Therefore we came up with an idea of creating an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart parking system that makes use of an Arduino, PIR sensors, and stepper motors for the barrier in order to address these issues. This type of parking system would rather enhance a user's parking experience, thus saving them time and effort. The barrier system will be automated through the use of PIR sensors and stepper motors, enabling automation of gate entry and exit, thus minimizing the need for manual intervention. The proposed system intends to offer hassle-free parking for car owners while providing parking lot owners with a dependable and effective parking management system.
