ADVANCED RESERVED CAR PARKING SYSTEM USING IOT AND MOBILE APPLICATION

With the growing urbanization and the increasing number of vehicles on the roads, efficient management of parking spaces has become a critical challenge in modern cities. Traditional parking systems often lead to congestion, wastage of time, and frustration among motorists. To address these issues, this paper proposes an advanced reserved car parking system leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology and a dedicated mobile application. The proposed system aims to revolutionize the parking experience by allowing users to reserve parking spaces in advance through a user-friendly mobile application. IoT sensors deployed at each parking slot continuously monitor the availability of spaces in real-time. When a user requests a parking reservation through the mobile app, the system instantly checks for the availability of the requested slot and confirms the reservation if space is available. Key features of the proposed system include real-time parking space availability updates, secure online payment integration, and seamless user experience through the mobile application. Additionally, the system provides flexibility for users to modify or cancel their reservations based on their changing needs. Furthermore, the utilization of IoT technology enables efficient management of parking spaces, optimizing the utilization of available resources and reducing congestion in parking areas. The system also offers insights into parking patterns and trends, facilitating data-driven decision-making for urban planners and parking lot managers. In conclusion, the proposed advanced reserved car parking system offers a practical solution to the challenges associated with traditional parking systems. By harnessing the power of IoT and mobile technology, the system enhances convenience for motorists, improves traffic flow, and contributes to the overall efficiency of urban transportation systems.
