Abstract Now-a-days, mainly in metropolitan cities one of the major issue is availability of parking space. The reserved parking area during the busy hours gets completely full and congested which makes a lot of confusion for the car owner to look for their vehicle in the parking area. To overcome this difficulty, it is essential to modernize and improve the current parking system. For this purpose an android application is used to implement a prototype of Smart car Parking System. These allow the car owners to easily look for vehicle parking spaces with the help of IoT (Internet of Things) with slot allocation method and android application using firebase. The current available parking facilities are unable to cope with the arrival and departure frequency of large number of vehicle. To mitigate the previously mentioned issue, we proposed a Smart Parking Management System that helps drivers to automatically find a free parking space easily. Smart parking would enable vehicle occupancy, monitoring and managing to be done very effectively in real-time that would even help in reducing the environmental pollution. Proposed system provides optimized usage of parking space and gets considerable revenue generation. Keywords- Smart Parking Management, Internet of Things, Traffic Congestion, Optimize Parking

I. INTRODUCTION Parking is a major problem in today's congested, industrialized cities. There are just too many on-road vehicles and not enough parking spaces. This has resulted in the need for efficient parking management systems. Thus we demonstrate the use of IOTbased parking management system, which facilitates efficient use of parking spaces using IOT technology and android application. To illustrate the principle we use IR sensors to simulate parking slot occupancy by using servo motor as a gate opener. For internet access we have used a Wi-Fi modem and a microcontroller (Node MCU) to run the device. We have deployed a microcontroller that detects the movement of cars and it either opens the gate or not depending on whether there is any vacant spot for the cars to park. It is also possible to open a gate when another car enters the parking lot, or when a car leaves the parking lot to shut the gate. We have used GUI interface for Online Connectivity and IOT Management. Two sets of sensors exist: one at the first gate (entry gate) and one at the second gate (exit gate). The machine senses whether it uses IR sensors to fill parking spaces. It also uses IR technology to sense whether a vehicle has arrived at the gate for automatic opening of the gate. The system reads the number of available parking slots and updates data with the cloud server to allow online parking slot accessibility. Thus the microcontroller reduces the count displayed accordingly whenever a car moves out of the parking area, and also closes the gate. Thus the system solves the issue of parking for cities and provides users with an effective IOT-based parking management system and along with this we have implemented a real-time based firebase application that will help to view the availability of slots more effectively. According to a report Smart Parking could result in saving 2, 20,000 gallons of fuels till 2030 and approx. 3, 00,000 gallons of fuels by 2050 if implemented successfully. Smart Parking systems obtain information about available parking spaces in a particular geographic area. This method is for positioning of vehicles at appropriate locations in real-time and it also involves collection of data in real-time using low cost sensors.
