Abstract : The study utilized IoT technology to improve parking efficiency and user convenience. The system contained a device that can accurately detect the status of parking slots. This includes when a slot is occupied, vacant, or reserved. When an unauthorized vehicle occupies a reserved slot, the equipped alarm system is triggered. The system also features a mobile application that provides real-time information on nearby parking lots and their status. The application included reservation and navigation features, supports secure payment options, and incorporates a smart redirection feature to guide users to alternative parking lots when their chosen option is full. The hardware device achieved 100% accuracy in slot status detection. In all the trials conducted, the alarm system succeeded in alerting unauthorized vehicles. The smart redirection feature successfully navigated users to nearby available parking lots when their initial choice was full. The findings demonstrate the system's working functionality. The system passed in the conducted tests suggesting that it can improve driver experience when looking for parking.
