Abstract: Nowadays in many multiplex systems there is a severe problem for car parking systems. There are many slots for car parking, so to park a car one has to look for all lanes. Moreover, there is a lot of men labor involved for this process for which there is a lot of investment. So the need is to develop a system which indicates directly which parking slot is vacant in any lane. The project involves a system including infrared transmitter and receiver in every lane and a LED & LCD display. So the person entering the parking area can view using the IoT module involved and can decide which slot to enter so as to park the car. Conventionally, car parking systems do not have any intelligent monitoring system. Parking slots are monitored by human beings. All vehicles enter into the parking area and time is wasted searching for a parking slot. Sometimes it creates blockage. Conditions become worse when there are multiple parking lanes and each lane has multiple parking slots. Use of a system for car parking monitoring will reduce human efforts. Here we are using IR sensors to detect the vehicle in that parking slot. So if it is occupied that information is available on the web and free slots are also shown so that one can book the slot before coming itself using IoT. This is to avoid waiting. We are using an IoT module that is interfaced to view the slots using the internet. In recent times the concept of smart cities has 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. In this paper, we present an IoT based cloud integrated smart parking system. 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 the form of a use case that proves the correctness of the proposed model.
