Abstract : The numbers of vehicles increasing in urban places, there have been major issues with parking management such as traffic jam, too much time spent waiting, unnecessary fuel consumption, and poor utilization of parking space. In this research, an IoT Based Smart Car Parking System has been design which can facilate real-time parking management system in an efficient manner through embedded systems and IoT technology. This system has been implemented using two ESP32 modules which serve as the central processing and communication units for parking activities. There are six parking spaces which contain IR sensor to monitor and manage the entry and exit of vehicles. Additionally, two servo motors have been used to automate the functioning of entry and exit gates. There are also one LCDs which display real-time information about the availability of parking spaces and other notifications by the system. Further, keypad modules are utilized for OTP-based vehicle entry/exit management system. The smart parking system is linked with a mobile application via wireless IoT technology allowing one to monitor parking availability, make reservations for parking spaces, and obtain One-Time Passwords (OTPs). The OTP authentication technique allows increasing security and eliminating any possibility of unauthorized access, while the automated gate control system allows minimizing human errors. ESP32 devices ensure the interaction between the system and the mobile application and help manage parking efficiently. It can be stated that there are many benefits associated with such a system which include more efficient parking space utilization, minimization of traffic, improvement in user experience, greater parking security, and real-time monitoring among others. In addition, the system described above is cost-efficient, scalable, and suitable for use in smart cities, shopping centers, hospitals, airports, universities, etc. This research proves that IoT, automation technologies, and embedded systems are effectively used in intelligent transport management.
