Smart Parking Management System using IoT

Today’s world is of Technology, technology is a kind of boon to enabling human lives comfortable as well as swift. The utilization of sensible phones has enormous applications. The IoT(Internet of Things) platform enables to attach physical modules with the net. In consequence, several applications can be carried out. This paper represents proposed system of one of them. There are parking problems in big urban and crowded cities because of unplanned parking, which becomes problem to find parking yards, more time-consuming to park a vehicle. Although ample quantity of analysis works on the event of good parking system exist in literature, but most of them have not addressed the problem of real-time detection of parking lot and automatically generation of hourly basis parking charges. This paper addresses proposed system to solve the problems and bring out better performance by using IOT, GPS (Global Positioning System) to locate nearest parking yard to reduce time consuming, camera for detection of the vehicle number in order to allow vehicle into parking lot, and mobile application to find vacant lot and for advance booking. Moreover, this system avails online payment link for parking charge for calculated amount of parked hours, sends notifications. These all interface with Raspberry pi. Eventually, this system reduces time-consuming and makes easy parking.
