Abstract:-- The paper describes the designing an advanced smart parking system using IOT technology. The devices can be turned
ON/OFF using a mobile through server(Wi-Fi). Internet of Things (IOT) plays an important role in connecting the surrounding
things in the environment to the network and made easy to access the things not connected to internet from any remote location.
The main objective of the smart parking system is to reduce the traffic in the parking place. Usually people are facing lot of
problems on parking vehicles in avaliable parking slots in a city. It’s very necessary for the people to improve with the growing
technology. In this paper we discuss a Smart Parking System which helps the user to find the nearest parking area and gives
availability of parking slots in that respective parking area. It mainly focus on reducing the time and in finding an empty parking
lots .It also avoids the unnecessary travelling through filled parking lots in a parking area in search of empty slot. Thus it reduces
the fuel consumption and in turn reduces carbon emission.

Keyword:-- Social Network, Hierarchical Classification.

ON/OFF using a mobile through server(Wi-Fi). Automation
is the most frequently spelled term in the field of electronics.
The hunger for automation brought many revolutions in the
existing technologies. These had greater importance than any
other technologies due to its user-friendly nature. These can
be used as a replacement of the existing switches in home
which produces sparks and also results in fire accidents in
few situations. Considering the advantages of Wi-Fi an
advanced automation system was developed to monitor the
status of parking slots. Wi-Fi (Short for Wireless Fidelity) is
a wireless technology that uses radio frequency to transmit
data through the air. Wi-Fi has initial speeds of 1mbps to
2mbps. Wi-Fi transmits data in the frequency band of 2.4
GHz. It implements the concept of frequency division
multiplexing technology. Range of Wi-Fi technology is 40-
300 feet. The controlling device for the monitoring in the
project is a Microcontroller. The data collected by the The main blocks of this project are:

which can be increased using the dual version. Range can
also be increased by increasing the power to the IR LEDs or
adding more IR LEDs.

7. SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

This project is implemented using following software‟s:

1) Express PCB – for designing circuit
2) PIC C compiler - for compilation part
3) Proteus 7 (Embedded C) – for simulation part
