I. INTRODUCTION When people talk about “the next big thing,” they’re never thinking big enough. It is not a lack of imagination; it is a lack of observation. The future is always within sight, and don’t need to imagine what’s already there. The Internet of Things revolves around increased machine-to-machine communication. It is built on cloud computing and networks of data-gathering sensors. It is mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection. It is going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports “smart”. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects-devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with sensors, electronics, software and network connectivity that enables objects to collect and exchange data. The IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical object into computer based systems and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefits. Thus the smart parking system is used to promote solution for existing system.

II. EXISTING SYSTEM The existing system proposes the display of slot through the LCD display. When the car enters into the parking area, the microcontroller monitors the arrival of the car. And also it monitors the empty slot inside the parking area. The slot information stores into the cloud and it used to allocate the slot for the particular car or vehicle. In most recent technology, some parking lot system offered a system that could automatically count when the car entering the empty car space and blocking an infrared signal thus notify the system to count for it. However, this type of sensors actually has an increase of budgeting in order to install and to be maintained.

III. PROPOSED SYSTEM To overcome the disadvantage of existing system, our system aims to reduce the human intervention to the minimal by automating the process of car parking. This in turn would prove to be useful in reducing the time required for search of free parking space by manually driving through multiple slots. The automation in the car parking is achieved by using Sensors. The system can then inform drivers about the number of available parking spaces and in which area should they be directed to. Bluetooth connection requires displaying the available slot and path direction through android application. This application already available in network to connect the Bluetooth device with our smart phone.

chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. The microcontroller used in this system is Arduino Uno. The Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. The Uno is a high performance 8-bit AVR RISCbased microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P which combines 32KB ISP flash memory with read-while-write capabilities, 1KB EEPROM, 2KB SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible timer/counters with compare modes, SPI serial port, 6-channel 10-bit A/D converter It has 14 digital input/output pins out of which 6 can be used as PMW outputs, 6 analog inputs, as 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. The power supply needed for this microcontroller is 5V. Figure 1.shows the Arduino Uno board used for programming which include Microcontroller Atmel328.

B. IR SENSOR An Infrared (IR) sensor is used to detect obstacles in front of the robot or to differentiate between colours depending on the configuration of the sensor.IR sensors are also used to distinguish between black and white surfaces. White surfaces reflect all types of light while black surfaces absorb them. Therefore, depending on the amount of light reflected back to the IR receiver, the IR sensor can also be used to distinguish between black and white surfaces. The principle of an IR sensor working as an Object Detection Sensor can be explained using the following figure. An IR sensor consists of an IR LED and an IR Photodiode; together they are called as Photo – Coupler or Opto – Coupler. When the IR transmitter emits radiation, it reaches the object and some of the radiation reflects back to the IR receiver. Based on the intensity of the reception by the IR receiver, the output of the sensor is defined.

VIII. CONCLUSION This paper shows the implementation of smart parking system using IR sensor, Arduino Uno microcontroller and Bluetooth HC05. In this paper, smart parking system sense the vehicle, display the empty slot, allocate the slot and display the slot direction through smart phones. Communication established between Microcontrollers, IR sensor using Bluetooth hc-05.This system reduces the parking confusion. This system assures that the users searching work was reduced during the parking time.

IX. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT In future, the use of Wi Fi instead of Bluetooth can use for the large parking area and by using images to display the slot. Capturing the image and display it through the smart phones makes user more efficient to park the car. GPS will be used to track the location of the car inside the parking area. Thus this system reduces the manual work and also gives the solution to the societal problem.
