Abstract
As the number of vehicles on the roads continues to rise, finding an available parking space in busy areas has become increasingly difficult. A smart parking system powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) provides real-time updates on parking availability, making the process faster and more convenient. This system simplifies the car parking process from entering the vehicle to making payment and exiting. The proposed system uses NodeMCU, a bunch of five IR sensors and two servo motors to detect vehicles and find empty parking slot. Two IR sensors for car sensing for entry and exit gate and three IR sensors for the status of parking slots available. The gates are driven by servo motors that react to sensor readings and opens and closes the gates. The data is posted on the Adafruit IO, for worldwide monitoring. There are an overall of five IR sensors and two servo motors connected to the NodeMCU. The NodeMCU is in charge of running this process and sending parking availability data as well as the time to Adafruit IO.
