IoT Car Parking

ABSTRACT: –

this project holds up in doing up with the smart parking system with Arduino uno and the effective way of using this parking system more efficient and flexible with the existing parking system if this parking system comes into existence it will make the end users more flexible and comfortable when compared with the existing parking system it makes the end users more flexible now-a-days customers want the things to be more secured but they want to do them so easier so this project would be one to provide the best parking system experience never before if this project implemented in the real-world scenario it would give the end-users a lot of advantages like fuel consumption manpower which would result in making lots of companies to install this system for their parking slots now-a-days the biggest problem in lots of cities like madras Bangalore  Hyderabad Mumbai is they don’t have the parking slots to make there parking and that makes the customers to become angry and takes lots of time to search their free space and park at their right place and this even results in the wastage of fuel during their roaming in search of the parking slots so in this project I came out with a small innovative idea to overcome this parking problems especially available in Indian places let’s make a view of the intelligent parking system with Arduino uno in this documentation in detail.

           Internet of Things (IoT) innovation plays a fundamental role in connecting and automating various physical devices, vehicles, home machines and other things. These objects link and manage information using software, various sensors and actuators. A human standard of living and living is improved by this gadget automation that is a next need. In this document, we are talking about a similar requirement, such as an intelligent car parking system that allows a driver to find a parking space and a free space in that parking space within a city. This document focuses on reducing the time wasted looking for parking in the area. This in turn reduces fuel consumption and lifestyle. With the exponential increase in the number of vehicles and the total population, vehicle accessibility, exhaustion, late start, finding a parking space for  the vehicle is becoming more and more problematic, as you will find. the number of conflicts, for example auto overloads. This is the role relates to the creation of a reliable system that will take on the task of detecting vacant parking spaces in a parking lot and tracking the abandoned vehicles  in a highly methodical manner. The planned system generally reduces personnel costs in the parking area.  Just looking for a free parking space is a waste of time and fuel. A lot of  paper  is wasted every day because we issue paper receipts to pay for the necessary fees after parking. Therefore, we proposed a system consisting of a DC motor, an Android application, a web application and a user-accessible camera. Android applications help users to check  availability  and reserve parking spaces. This saves time and reduces fuel consumption, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

SYSTEM:-

The car parking system consists of two main components: parking sensors and the centralized system. The parking sensors are installed in each parking spot and detect the presence or absence of a vehicle. These sensors are connected to a local gateway device that collects the sensor data and sends it to the centralized system. The gateway devices are connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

The centralized system is responsible for managing the parking spots and providing real-time information to the users. It consists of a cloud-based server. a database and a web application .

The cloud-based server receives the sensor data from the gateway devices and stores it in the database. The server also performs real-time analysis of the parking data to identify trends and patterns, such as peak usage times and frequently used spots.

The web application provides a user interface for drivers to view the availability of parking spots in real-time. Drivers can use the application to search for available parking spots near their destination, reserve a spot, and pay for parking. The application also provides directions to the selected parking spot and alerts the driver when their parking time is about to expire.

The system also includes an administration panel that allows parking lot managers to monitor and manage the parking spots. Managers can view parking usage statistics, configure pricing and availability, and generate reports on parking spot utilization.

In addition, the system can be integrated with other smart city applications, such as traffic monitoring and public transportation systems, to provide a seamless and efficient transportation experience for users. Overall, the car parking system in IOT provides a convenient and efficient solution for managing parking spots in urban areas, improving traffic flow, and reducing congestion.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:-

This project is an IoT-based cloud-integrated intelligent parking system. This system checks the vehicle’s availability in the parking lot and displays the slot number of a free space in an Android app for a new car entering the barrier. The white space information is also uploaded to the Thing speak cloud platform. The Raspberry Pi is used to control the whole mechanism. However, before parking the car, the user needs to reserve a space through a web application. A QR code will be generated after a successful seat reservation. The DC motor spins and a reserved space appears in front of the user where they can park their car. When parking the car, the user needs to enter a unique QR code ID to scan the QR code. After scanning the QR code, the details will be checked, and then the DC motor will start rotating counterclockwise and clockwise. After receiving the car, the user can unpark the car.

MODULES:-

parking spot sensor module: this module includes sensors installed in each parking spot that detect the presence or absence of a vehicle it also includes a gateway device that collects and sends the sensor data to the centralized system module :this module includes a cloud-based server a database and a web application the server receives and stores the sensor data from the gateway devices performs real-time analysis of the data and provides real-time information to the users the web application provides a user interface for drivers to view the availability of parking spots in real-time.

payment and reservation module: includes a payment gateway integration that allows drivers to pay for parking through the web application the module also includes a reservation system that allows drivers to reserve parking spots in advance.

alert and notification module: this module includes an alert and notification system that sends alerts to drivers when their parking time is about to expire the module also sends notifications to parking lot managers when a parking spot is vacant for an extended period .

administration panel module: this module includes an administration panel that allows parking lot managers to monitor and manage the parking spots the panel provides access to parking usage statistics allows managers to configure pricing and availability and generates reports on parking spot utilization this module includes integration with other smart city applications such as traffic monitoring and public transportation systems to provide a seamless and efficient transportation experience for users.

APPLICATION:-

• real-time parking availability: the application would display real-time information about available parking spots in the parking lot allowing drivers to easily find an available spot,
• reservation system: drivers would be able to reserve a parking spot in advance through the application ensuring that they have a guaranteed spot when they arrive at the parking lot .
• payment system: the application would allow drivers to pay for their parking directly through the interface using a variety of payment options such as creditdebit cards mobile payments or other digital payment methods.
• parking duration tracking: the application would track the duration of each parking session and automatically charge the driver the appropriate amount based on the time they spent in the parking spot alerts and notifications the application would send.
• alerts and notifications: to drivers when their parking session is about to expire reminding them to move their vehicle or extend their parking session if necessary .
• parking history :the application would maintain a history of the drivers parking sessions allowing them to view past transactions and easily keep track of their parking expenses customer support the application would provide .
• customer support: through a chatbot or a dedicated support team allowing drivers to quickly resolve any issues they may have with their parking session
