Smart IOT parking system / Ammiel Irwin

Finding a parking space in most urban places is difficult, especially during rush hour. A lack of efficient parking are the main source of the problem. Due to the little availability of parking spots, many vehicles have compete for a small number of parking spots, causing severe traffic jam. Additionally, this causes people to park illegally so, there is a rise in a more efficient parking system. This project is tasked in creating a Smart Parking System that will be convenient as well as user-friendly. With this drivers can save time on parking while having a safe and secured parking spot . The main component used in this project is the micro-controller unit is the Arduino Uno (Or any known Arduino micro-controller. This device can automatically recognise open, vacant parking spots, enabling cars to park if the spot is unoccupied; otherwise, if the system does not identify an empty spot, the entrance is prevented by the servo barrier. The servo motors then use IR to detect the movement of the vehicle and determine a set output. The parking spot's availability will be shown on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD 1602), and infrared sensors will monitor how many vehicles are entering and leaving the area.The WiFi module(ESP8266) will be used to indicate beforehand to the diver whether there is an unoccupied parking spot.
