This document proposes a vehicle parking system using IoT that would address problems with current car parking systems in India like lack of available spaces. It would involve sensors in each parking slot connected to the cloud to monitor availability in real-time. Drivers could check a mobile app to see available slots and be directed to their space. The system aims to optimize parking, reduce traffic and pollution, enhance the user experience, enable integrated payments, and increase safety and data insights while decreasing management costs compared to current manual systems. Challenges include improving existing infrastructure and maintaining the IoT devices, but it could revolutionize urban transportation as automated vehicles are integrated.

Nowadays India is confronting the biggest problems in the context
of space for parking the vehicle, especially in urban areas. Now, numbers of vehicles are increasing over the number of total heads of the family. It can be easily experienced that parking system in India is awfully failing to meet the current requirements. Cities are filled with people who park their cars anywhere utilizing the available space which could have been used in a better way. Due to lack of navigable space, Indian cities are being considered as one of the worst living options by people. Current Car Parking System A car enters the car parking area. The concerned worker there checks for the availability of slots for the car. This checking process involves multiple chains of asking the co- workers at different slots of that are either directly or through internal calling systems. If there is a slot available, then the car is directed to that place by manual guidance which is prone to have hindrances at multiple places before reaching the allotted slot. If there is no slot available, then the car has to go back and search for a parking slot in some other car parking area. Outlines of new system The basic outline of the concept is as follows: The car enters the parking area. The driver checks the corresponding mobile application for free slots. The sensors present in each parking slot will maintain a database of free slots at any given point of time in the cloud. The mobile application is updated with that and it, then suggests a parking slot, after considering various factors like which slot is near and easier to reach, or simply, an optimum solution. FLOW CHART Advantages of vehicle parking system using IOT Optimized parking. Reduced traffic. Reduced pollution. Enhanced User Experience. Integrated Payments and POS. Increased Safety. Real-Time Data and Trend Insight. Decreased Management Costs. Hardware Components
Arduino Mega 2560
IR Sensor Ethernet Shield Ultrasonic Sensor Challenges Faced For making smart parking we need to improve infrastructure as existing structures will not work. There should be combination of technology which needs to be used as single technology will not fulfill the need. The maintenance cost will increase as IOT devices will consume power. If the system is down due to any error,then there will be lot of trouble to drivers in finding the parking. The installed equipment will be costly and they can be stolen. Conclusion We see that, this new system is an added value to the urban life style.In the current world, where Google cars are introduced and automated driving is growing interest among the people, this will be an improvement of great magnitude.Automated cars can do the parking on their own, if this car parking app is a part of their built in system.Hence, I believe that this simple concept, when released into the world, will be one of those revolutionary changes in everyday activities.
