Abstract: The Smart Parking Management System using IoT is a transformative solution aimed at revolutionizing urban mobility and infrastructure. By deploying a network of IoT sensors across parking lots, the system continuously monitors the occupancy status of each bay and transmits this data to a cloud-based server. This enables real-time updates that users can access through a mobile application, helping them identify available spots, reserve them, and navigate directly to the location. The system also incorporates automated payment gateways, license plate recognition, and dynamic pricing models to streamline the entire parking experience. On the backend, administrators can analyze usage trends, peak hours, and maintenance needs through data analytics dashboards, allowing for smarter decision-making and resource allocation. Beyond convenience, the system contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing fuel consumption and emissions caused by vehicles idling or circling for parking. It also alleviates traffic congestion and enhances safety by minimizing roadside chaos. As cities evolve into smart ecosystems, this IoT-based parking solution stands as a critical component in building efficient, responsive, and user-centric urban environments.
