IV. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

A. Online Booking using Android application.

In urban areas finding parking space is difficult in
rush hours. So here we developed Android application we can
book the parking slots in advance like movie tickets booking
online. We can book the parking slots by using a mobile app.
The booking procedure explained in the below flow chart.
Cloud Database provides parking availability information; if
there are any vacant slots available then we can book the Fig. 1:- Architectural Diagram of proposed system
interested slot and complete the payments through e-wallet.
When we finished booking, the database is updated with
current availability. V. IMPLEMENTATION MODULES
