Abstract: The IoT-based Smart Parking System is a cost-effective solution to automate parking management in urban areas. It uses eight IR sensors to monitor parking slot availability and control gate operations via two servo motors. A 16x2 LCD with I2C backpack displays available slots, while the Arduino Uno manages the system. The NodeMCU module ensures real-time updates on slot availability to users' mobile devices from any location. This system optimizes parking efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and supports scalability for large parking areas, making it an ideal solution for smart city projects.
