Abstract
The project entitled SMART PARKING SYSTEM using IOT , the major motivation of this project is to
Reduce the traffic congestion in roads, multi-storeyed buildings and malls due to unavailability of Parking
spaces .The project displays the nearest empty slot if present with respect to user location. Our Project
aims to make efficient use of parking spaces. We track vacant slots in the parking space and Assign that
to the user. Smart parking system as described above can lead to an error-free ,reliable ,Secure and fast
management system. In recent times the concept of smart cities have gained great popularity. Thanks to
the evolution of the Internet of things the idea of smart city now seems to be achievable. Consistent
efforts are being made in the field of IOT in order to maximize the productivity And reliability of urban
infrastructure. Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking facilities and road safety are
being addressed by IoT. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site deployment of an IOT
module that is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability Of each single parking space. A
mobile application is also provided that allows an end user to check. The availability of parking space and
book a parking slot accordingly. The paper also describes a high-Level view of the system architecture.
Towards the end, the paper discusses the working of the system In form of a use case that proves the
correctness of the proposed model.
Introduction
The project entitled smart parking system is to manage all the parking facilities to an user. The recent
growth in economy and due to the availability of low price cars in the Market, an every average middle-
class individual can afford a car, which is good thing, However the consequences of heavy traffic jams,
pollution, less availability of roads and spot to drive the motor car. One of the important concerns, which
is to be taken in accounting, is the problem of parking those vehicles .Though, if there is space for
parking the vehicle but so much time is squandered in finding that exact parking slot resulting in more
fuel intake and not also environment friendly. It will be a great deal if in some way we find out that the
parking itself can provide the precise vacant position of a parking slot then it’ll be helpful not limited to
the drivers also for the environment .Initially when the user is about to enter the location the LCD
displays the number of empty and filled spots and when the user is with its vehicle near to the parking
detect sensor ,he/she would be thrown with a notification on their mobile app of the parking slot
number ,where they should park there vehicle.
Problem Statement
In recent research in metropolitan cities the parking management problem can be viewed from various
angles such as high vehicle density on roads. This results in annoying issues for the drivers to park their
vehicles as it is very difficult to find a Parking slot. The drivers usually waste time and effort in finding
parking space and end up parking their vehicles finding a space on the street which further leads to
space congestion. In Worst case, people fail to find any parking space especially during peak hours and
festive season.
Methodology
In this project we are using Node MCU, IR sensors, and servo motors. One IR sensor is used at entry and
exit gate to detect the car while two IR sensors are used to detect the parking slot availability. Servo
motors are used to open and close the gates according to the sensor value. Node MCU is an open source
IOT platform .It includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SOC from Espress if Systems, and
hardware, which is based on the ESP-12 module. The term “Node MCU” by default refers to the firmware
rather than the dev kits. The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi enabled microchip with full TCP/IP stack and
microcontroller capability. Node MCU includes CPU core, faster Wi-Fi, more GPIOs, and supports
Bluetooth 4.2, and low power Bluetooth. The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi enabled microchip with full

supports Bluetooth 4.2, and low power Bluetooth. As soon as the IR sensors get the presence of a car in
front of the entrance, it will send signal to the Node MCU to check if there is an empty slot inside the
parking lot. When Node MCU acknowledges that there is an empty slot or more then it will send a signal
to the dc servo motor which will open the main entrance. On the other hand if an Node MCU encounters
no empty slots at the time of a car trying to make an entrance, the gate will just not open. In addition,
there will be a website linked with the Node MCU board to show the number of parking. The idea
behind our methodology is very simple , usually users spend most of their time in looking for an empty
slot where they can park their vehicle which increases fuel consumption and time wastage. We came-up
with a new method where we provide the user an empty slot number where he can park his vehicle
without wasting his time for finding one . Similarly we try to display the start time and end time so that
the user can know for what amount of time he has parked his vehicle.

Objectives
Smart Parking involves the use of low cost sensors, real-time data and applications that allow users to
monitor available and unavailable parking spots. The goal is to automate and decrease time spent
manually searching for the optimal parking floor, spot and even lot. Some solutions will encompass a
complete suite of services such as online payments, parking time notifications and even car searching
functionalities for ver large lots. A parking solution can greatly benefit both the user and the lot owner.

Increased Safety
At present some countries have portals which users can gain information about parking areas via the
internet. This system can give users the information about parking space, but it won’t be able to give
which parking slot is vacant and occupied. Hence, such a system cannot smartly handle the issue. Car
lifts along with an automated robotic system, which automatically takes the car to a particular parking
spot as soon as the car enters on a platform. This system cannot be installed by medium scale shopping
malls, movie theatres as it can cost them a huge amount. At many public places, the system only shows
the availability but it cannot show the exact slot and path to the slot available. Hence, there is the need
to smartly find the path to the vacant spot.
