IoT-Based Smart Parking Management System

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.
