Smart Parking Management System Using Web and Mobile-Based Application

Urban areas face significant parking challenges due to rapid vehicle growth, resulting in traffic congestion, fuel wastage, and inefficient parking space utilization. Traditional parking systems rely on manual searching and monitoring, which exacerbates these problems. This paper proposes a software-based Smart Parking Management System that provides real-time parking slot availability and advance booking capabilities through mobile and web applications. Utilizing a centralized database, the system enables users to view, reserve, and manage parking slots digitally, while administrators control slot availability. Technologies employed include HTML, CSS, JavaScript for frontend development; Python or Node.js for backend processing; and MySQL or Firebase for database management. The system improves parking efficiency, reduces search time, minimizes congestion, and enhances user convenience by automating parking operations without requiring hardware components. The results demonstrate significant reductions in fuel consumption and traffic delays, contributing positively to smart city infrastructure.
