Smart Parking System (IoT, Arduino)

The Smart Parking System leverages IoT and Arduino to provide a real-time solution for parking management. By integrating ultrasonic sensors, this system detects available parking spots in real-time and updates the status on a cloud-based application. The sensors installed in parking spaces detect the presence of a vehicle and send the data to the microcontroller (Arduino), which then transmits it to the cloud. The system helps drivers find available parking spots quickly, reducing time spent searching for parking and minimizing traffic congestion. Additionally, parking lot operators can use the data to optimize space utilization and monitor parking lot activity remotely. The IoT-enabled smart parking system also helps in reducing the environmental impact by decreasing the time vehicles spend idling. The project includes features such as a mobile app for users to view available spaces and real-time updates, making it a highly efficient and user-friendly solution. The system can also integrate payment gateways to allow users to make online payments for parking services.
