DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR SMART PARKING MANAGEMENT

Abstract

A smart parking management application uses IoT sensors, cloud databases, and a mobile app to help drivers find and reserve open parking spots in real time. An intelligent parking system can help drivers in finding parking slots by providing real-time information.This paper addresses two common issues in urban parking: the lack of real-time information about available parking spots and the difficulty of locating the exact available one. The proposed solution consists of a smart parking system based on IR sensors, an ESP32 microcontroller, and two web applications: one allows users to view available spots and report problems, while the other enables administrators to control the barriers both automatically and manually via Firebase.
