Our aim is to develop a smart car parking slot availability detection system that can
monitor and provide real-time status information of a parking slot.
We have implemented a smart car parking slot detection system with sensors,
real-time processing, to efficiently manage parking, reduce congestion, save time
and improve user experience.
Objectives -
1. People who are licensed to drive a 4-wheeler and search for a parking spot
by going from one level to another level in case of underground parking or
across the entire floor until they find a vacant space.
2. This consumes a lot of time, and a small fraction of the fuel also goes to
waste as they spend time finding an empty space.
3. To counter these problems our smart car parking method would be the
optimal solution as it involves identification of occupied and vacant
parking slots in any space like malls/stations/movie theatres so that the
driver can be aware where exactly a vacant spot is present.
Existing System-
1. There are several such systems existing in the market wherein the sensor collects and
processes data at the location of the parking area or parking spaces.
2. Ground sensors have been around for decades now and with the use of radar technology,
ground sensors are installed into the concrete at each parking space or bay.
3. When a car enters the space, the sensor below will identify an object above it and register that
single parking space as occupied.
4. There are many ground sensor manufacturers worldwide - some big names being: Bosch and
Nwave.
5. Typically done in more structured parking lots or enclosed parking garages, a smart parking
counting system can be deployed.
6. This usually involves a raise able gate that allows cars to enter and exit while it counts the
number of vehicles and dispenses a ticket for payment.
Statistics -
With the following statistics we can conclude that the demand for a smart
parking system is high and the market size is huge.
Requirements -
Hardware – Software –
● Esp32
● Micro USB Cable
● Using HTML, CSS & JavaScript we have developed a
● IR Sensor
● LED's website that shows the available parking slots
● Wires based on data retrieved from the nodeMCU
microcontroller ‘ESP8266’.
● The data will be received from the Microcontroller,
and updated on the website, enabling the user to
find out exactly which parking slot is available.
Proposed System Design -
1. User enters a parking lot and opens the website to know which parking slots are vacant.
2. The IR sensor sends the data to the web server indicating which slots are available and
occupied.
3. Using HTML, CSS & JavaScript we have developed a website that shows the available parking
slots based on data retrieved from the nodeMCU microcontroller ‘ESP8266’.
4. The data will be received from the MicroController, and updated on the website, enabling the
user to find out exactly which parking slot is available.
5. Occupied slots are shown as red color and the vacant slots with green color.
6. As soon as the car leaves a particular slot, its status is turned from red to green and vice–versa.
7. The design system could be applied everywhere due to its ease of usage and effectiveness.
Methodology -
1) IR sensor will sense the parking area and
determine whether a parking slot is vacant or
not.
