Abstract:
The rapid urbanization and increasing vehicle ownership have led to a growing challenge in managing parking spaces effectively. In response, the concept of smart cities has gained traction, driving the development of innovative solutions such as Smart Parking systems. This paper presents a novel IoT-based coordinated framework aimed at revolutionizing the parking experience by ensuring the efficient utilization of parking spaces. Central to this framework is an IoT module deployed on-site, functioning to continuously monitor and communicate the availability status of individual parking spots. The proposed system architecture is elaborated upon, highlighting its comprehensive design. Through an in-depth exploration of the framework's operational mechanisms, the paper demonstrates its efficacy using a real-world use case. The utilization of ultrasonic sensors and Arduino programming enables accurate detection of vacant parking spaces. This paper offers insights into the development and deployment of an intelligent parking management system that optimizes urban infrastructure, enhances user convenience, and lays the foundation for smarter urban mobility.
