Effective car parking reservation system based on internet of things technologies

Abstract

Nowadays with the rapid increase in urban population, there is a major problem with the parking system in almost every major city across the globe. Many of us get highly disturbed when there is no proper space for parking space for our vehicles. In this article, we have proposed a smart parking application, where users will be able to park their automobiles by finding an empty parking lot through Android Application or can even park their automobiles directly through Embedded Hardware. An Intelligent Parking System is implemented based on Slot Allotment. There are two modes using which the Android user can book the parking slots easily like Advance & Current Booking. Using these modes the application user can also choose the easiest and nearest route and destination. The Android Application itself will serve as a payment gateway. Embedded Hardware is implemented for Direct Parking. Server will monitor the Slot Allotment dynamically.
