Automatic smart parking system using Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a vital role in connecting the surrounding environmental things to the network. The IoT is a system of interrelated computing devices that are provided with identifier and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human and computer interaction. These type of technologies are used to connect un-internet devices to the network from any remote location. With the number of vehicles on the roads climbing steeply over the last few years, motorists face problems in parking vehicles in designated slots in the city. In this paper a Smart Parking System is designed which enables the user to find the nearest parking area and provide the information about the availability of parking slot to the motorist. The system mainly focuses on reducing the time of finding the parking area and avoids unnecessary travelling through filled parking lots in a parking area. Thus it reduces fuel consumption and minimizes carbon emissions as well.
