Booking smart parking system using microcontroller

Abstract

Recently there are many vehicle users have difficulty to find a parking area because no information full or empty parking slot so that it can cause congestion, pollution, and fuel inefficiency, because of these conditions can cause difficulty in controlling the parking management. By using microcontroller smart parking system (based on IoT) parking problems can be resolved. Smart Parking System is designed to make easier for parking users to get information on the availability of empty and filled parking slots, in addition to that parking users can also book for parking slots using web based applications. There are many phases to implement microcontroller based Smart Parking System i.e requirements systems, prototyping development, prototyping evaluation, coding system, testing and evaluation system. This system uses hardware such as Arduino Mega, Arduino Uno, Ethernet Shield, PN532, LDR, and NFC. The programming language used is C to configure Arduino and PHP which are used for the web interface while MySQL for database server. By Smart Parking Application, it is expected to help parking service users to get information and find empty parking slots through booking in the application so that it will be more efficient in time and parking management will be more controlled.
