A Sustainable Vehicle Parking using IoT

Abstract

We present a highly efficient method for vehicle parking management in large scale parking lots based on IoT. The proposed system can be installed in a Raspberry pi module which will help us in solving the current problems in vehicle parking management. The system consists of an on-site deployment of an IoT module that is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of each single parking slot. This can be done on a mobile phone using android application. This application can be managed by an administrator at the malls. This project primarily makes finding of parking systems more efficient and less time-consuming, and also eliminates the need of staff to be employed for such purpose of these places, thus increasing profit margins. The system helps a user know the availability of parking slots on a real time basis. Android mobile application is used to display the total parking slots in the parking lot, number of parking slots available, occupied parking slots and the reserved parking slots. To book the parking slot at that time your information are encoded to the QR code. This makes our parking system more secured. Once you park the vehicle in the slot, the timer will start to monitor the parking time. If time exceeds alert message is sent to the user's mobile.
