Abstract:

The idea of smart city now seems to be achievable due to internet of Things. Consistent efforts are being made in the field of IoT in order to maximize the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure. Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking facilities and road safety are being addressed by IoT. In this paper, we propose an IoT based smart car parking system. The Smart Parking system is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of single parking space for efficient and easy way of parking the vehicles by checking the availability of slots. The Infrared Sensor is utilized with Arduino to indicate the empty slot. By measuring and detecting infrared radiations in the surrounding environment using infrared sensor, drivers are able to find the empty slot in parking easily and thus reducing the searching time.
