IoT Based Smart Parking and Advance Booking System

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a key role in connecting the surrounding wireless things to the system and makes it easy to access information from any remote location[1]. The researches and implementations are currently on-board in all the respective areas. The study based on real time traffic congestion enables us to design a Smart Parking and Advanced Booking System (SPABS) to find the nearest parking area and gives the option of booking parking slots. It mainly focus on reducing the time in finding the parking lots and also it avoids the unnecessary travelling through filled parking lots in a parking area and also reduces the fuel consumption. The existing parking system which uses video sensors and cameras to collect the real-time information. But these parking system are expensive and utilizing more bandwidth. In consideration with cost and performance, our project embedded-wireless sensor based system called Smart Parking and Automatic Booking System (SPABS) is to detect the empty parking spaces and provide this data to users. In this system, user will send a request to the server, for the slot of their choice. The central database will send a request to embedded system, to confirm the availability of parking slot. The user will access the confirm request provided by the server. The information also includes the terms and condition where in, the booking will be cancelled, if the user did not turn up within the given time slot. The user can access the allotted parking slot only through a smart card, to avoid unauthorized entry. When the smart card is swiped, the server will verify the user and user will be allowed into the parking loT.
