SYSTEM OF INTERNET-OPERATED PARKING

Abstract

The rapid growth of the economy has necessitated the building of
more parking spaces to accommodate the growing number of
automotive users. Customers are more likely to prefer mobile
application-based solutions than conventional ones due to the
widespread usage of smart phones. As the Internet of Things
(IoT) continues to gain popularity, mobile devices, wireless
communication technologies, and mobile applications are
becoming more intertwined. With the help of the Internet of
Things and Bluetooth, this study proposes the creation of a
Smart Parking System. The complete parking solution it offers is
beneficial to both property owners and visitors. For example,
users may reserve space, confirm a reserved user's identity,
search for nearby free spaces depending on vehicle size, go to the
designated parking spot, and calculate account data on a daily,
weekly and monthly basis, among other options. Infrared sensors
are used to determine whether or not a parking space is
available. Wi-Fi module technology, microcontrollers, and
wireless communication technology are used to interact with a
server to gather information about the availability of a free slot
and its location. The most convenient available space in the
schedule is determined by a scheduling algorithm depending on
the size of the vehicle being carried. It is possible that the owner
of a parking place may utilise data such as the number of free
and available slots, weekday and weekend occupancy rates and
the amount of money received over a certain period to determine
variable parking costs for the parking space. In order to provide
a positive customer experience, an app for mobile devices has
been created.Keywords— Internet of Things; Smart Parking;
