 Abstract
The Car Parking System using Arduino UNO is an innovative project aimed at
optimizing parking management through automation. This system utilizes an
Arduino UNO microcontroller to monitor and control parking spaces
effectively. It incorporates various sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors, to detect
the availability of parking spots and provide real-time data on space occupancy.
The system can be designed to display information on an LCD screen or
through a web interface, guiding drivers to available spaces. Additionally,
features like automated gate control, security alarms, and a mobile app for
reservation and notifications can be integrated. This project enhances the
efficiency of parking facilities, reduces congestion, and improves user
experience by streamlining the parking process. The system guides drivers to
available spots through an LCD display and can incorporate features like RFID
scanning for vehicle identification, automated gate control, and mobile app
integration for reservations and notifications. By collecting and analyzing
parking data, this project enhances efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves
user experience, making it a valuable contribution to smart city initiatives and
urban mobility solutions.

 Introduction
Efficient parking management is a critical challenge in urban environments,
where increasing vehicle density often leads to congestion and frustration
among drivers searching for available spaces. The Car Parking System using
Arduino UNO presents an innovative solution to this issue, leveraging the
power of microcontroller technology to automate and streamline the parking
process. This system utilizes ultrasonic sensors to detect the presence of
vehicles in designated parking spots, providing real-time occupancy
information.

By integrating an Arduino UNO as the central controller, the system can process
sensor data and communicate availability to drivers via an LCD display or a
mobile application. Features such as automated gate control and vehicle
identification through RFID technology enhance security and ease of access.
Additionally, data logging capabilities enable facility managers to analyse usage
patterns, facilitating better space utilization and operational efficiency.

This project not only addresses the immediate need for effective parking
solutions but also aligns with the broader goals of smart city initiatives,
promoting the use of technology to enhance urban living. Through its
innovative design and implementation, the Car Parking System represents a
significant advancement in parking management, offering a user-friendly
experience while reducing traffic congestion in busy urban areas.
