I. INTRODUCTION
Locating a parking spot during peak hours in most populated areas like shopping malls, universities, exhibitions or
convention centers is difficult for the drivers. The difficulty rises from not knowing where the available spots may be at
that required time. Smart parking is a solution to metropolitan cities to reduce congestion, cut vehicle emission totals
and save persons’ time by helping them in finding a spot to park. Smart Parking is a parking system, usually a new one
that is equipped with special structured devices (things) to detect the available parking slots at any parking area. This is
an application based on Internet of Things (IoT) that in Real-Time environment have sensors and devices embedded
into parking spaces, transmitting data on the occupancy status; and the vehicle drivers can search for parking
availability using their mobile phones or any infotainment system that is attached to the vehicle. Hence the driver
would know where there is an available spot to park his vehicle in less time, reducing the energy consumption and
air pollution.
The Client or the sensor posts the parking slot occupancy status to a web service URL. In this paper, we are suggesting
the technique to design and build Smart parking system typically to obtain information about available parking spaces
and process it in real-time to facilitate vehicle parking at available positions.
Various parking systems have been done in the past. It is apparent that the car parking systems implemented in
developed countries are done with advanced technologies deployed in the car park. This section reviews various works
conducted on smart car parking systems. Some available car parking systems researches are sensor based which
generally processed the problem of locating an unoccupied car parking place. Similarly the same aspects were observed
which may lead to a higher traffic congestion while other parking recourses remain available to use. Moreover, the
problem with these systems are that they are unable to find out a solution available and the roads traffic congestions.
Hence, the main focus was in determining the occupancy status of parking spaces. Some of the researches focused on
information system and guidancefor parking.
Those systems provide users information via some message signs in actual time available parking spaces for a specific
zone. The total occupancy is gathered by using the sensors on the both entrance and exit of the parking location.
Moreover, in result of the survey shows that there is a huge desire from the participants for more dynamic, accurate and
personalised parking information at both before the trip and en-route.

In recent research in metropolitan cities the parking management problem can be viewed from several angles. High
vehicle density on roads. This results in annoying issue 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 streets. In worst case, people fail to find any parking space especially during peak hours and festive
seasons. A Smart Parking System like this helps drivers make smart decisions which will reduce congestion and make
the most of available spaces. Finding a parking space has become a daily concern these days, and that is where the
motivation for this project came up from. With the evolution of technology, we have smartphones, sensors that detect
the presence of any object and my idea is having a system where parking spaces are equipped with these IR sensors that
tells about the occupancy status of the parking spaces and a central management system that posts this occupancy status
to a web application to guide the drivers in finding a vacant slot.
III. OBJECTIVE
1) The main aim of this project is to reduce the risk of finding the parking slots in any parking area and keeping the user
information safe.
2) It eliminates the unnecessary travelling of vehicles across the filled parking slots in a city.
3) It keeps the private information of the user secure using blockchain.
4) These devices can communicate directly with a parking server.
5) Hence, it can provide real-time parking availability information using an online platform to drivers.

2) ESP8266 NODE MCU: The NodeMCU ESP8266 development board comes with the ESP-12E module containing ESP8266
chip having Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit LX106 RISC microprocessor. This microprocessor supports RTOS and operates at 80MHz
to 160 MHz adjustable clock frequency. NodeMCU has 128 KB RAM and 4MB of Flash memory to store data and programs.
Itshigh processing power with in-built Wi-Fi / Bluetooth andDeep Sleep Operating features make it ideal for IoT projects.
3) Servo Motor: A servo motor is a type of motor that can rotate with great precision. Normally this type of motor consists of a
control circuit that provides feedback on the current position of the motor shaft, this feedback allows the servo motors to
rotate with great precision. If you want to rotate an object at some specific angles or distance, then you use a servo motor.
4) EM18 RFID Reader: Radio frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless identification technology that uses radio waves to
identify the presence of RFID tags. Just like Bar code reader, RFID technology is used for identification of people, object etc.
presence.
5) IR Sensor: An infrared sensor is an electronic device that emits in order to sense some aspects of thesurroundings. An IR sensor
can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion. These types of sensors measure only infrared radiation, rather
than emitting it that is called a passive IR sensor. Usually, in the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some form ofthermal
radiation.
6) 9V Battery: A nine-volt battery, either disposable or rechargeable, is usually used in smoke alarms, smoke detectors, walkie-
talkies, transistor radios, test and instrumentation devices, medical batteries, LCD displays, and other small portable appliances

Smart Parking System is a web application that is developed to help drivers in finding a vacant parking space during any time of
day. The main objective of the application is to provide the occupancy status (vacant/occupied) of the parking spaces.

VII. CONCLUSION
Smart Parking System is a solution to the existing traffic congestion, to reduce drivers’ frustration by providing information about
the occupancy status of the parking spaces. The project development went smoothly while teaching me many best practices in
programming using the current trending technologies. I could see that all the initial requirements of the project are achieved and also
I tried doing minor data analysis on the parking spaces occupancy statuses.
The web application is user friendly; any user can easily find the status (vacant/occupied) of the parking space and also can set the
required date to see the parking history. Starting from coming up with project idea, understanding the requirements and choosing the
best technologies for the implementation, all this gave me very good experience and exposure in development of a full stack web
application. Upon completingthis project successfully, I got familiar with Arduino, MySQL, and Xampp.
The concepts of Smart Cities have always been a dream for humanity. Since the past couple of years large advancements have been
made in making smart cities a reality. The growth of Internet of Things and Cloud technologies have given rise to new possibilities
in terms of smart cities. Smart parking facilities and traffic management systems have always been at the core of constructing smart
cities. In this paper, we address the issue of parking and present an IoT based Cloud integrated smart parking system. The system
that we propose provides real time information regarding availability of parking slots in a parking area. Users from remote locations
could book a parking slot for them by the use of our mobile application. The efforts made in this paper are indented to improve the
parking facilities of a city and thereby aiming to enhance the quality oflife of its people.
1) To provide a central management system that make sure only authenticated information is sent to the Client, i.e. dealing with
the security issues.
2) More analysis can be done using the parking history data by which User can get recommendations or suggestionson parking
spaces and their availability trends.
3) And this analysis can be used while reserving a parking space by User or while renting a space, to decide the price of the
parking space.
4) We could also do a mobile application through which driver can get the occupancy statuses of the parking spaces.
