IOT BASED AND INTELLIGENT CAR PARKING SYSTEM

Abstract

As the usage of vehicles is increasing day by day, it became difficult
to identify a proper parking space for every vehicle. Smart Parking System deals
with development of mobile application, which helps the user to get detailed
information about parking space and managing it efficiently in parking lot. Smart
Parking System uses Image Processing technique to identify registration plate of a
vehicle and also provides a beep sound whenever a vehicle at entrance of a parking
lot. The mobile application provides information about available parking spaces,
security and safety features of parking lot. Arduino and Node MCU is the control
unit of this project which controls and processes the whole operation of the system.
LCD display is placed at entrance of the parking lot to display current parking
space availability. Infrared (IR) proximity sensors are used to detect the presence
of vehicle at the entrance of parking lot. If the captured image is with proper
resolution through which characters from vehicle registration plate can be
identified, the user will then park the vehicle in the available parking slot. When
the user wants to leave the space and moved the vehicle, the date/ time information
will be captured.
