idea of smart city now seems to be achievable. Consistent
efforts are being made in the field of IoT in order to maximize
the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure.
Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking
facilities and road safety are being addressed by IoT. In this
paper, we present an IoT based cloud integrated smart parking
system. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-
site deployment of an IoT module that is used to monitor and
signalize the state of availability of each single parking space.
A mobile application is also provided that allows an end user
to check the availability of parking space and book a parking
slot accordingly. The paper also describes a high-level view of
