Smart Automated and Real-Time Parking Management System

Parking within large business areas like malls, airports, and shopping centers has become more difficult because of the high rate of vehicular growth and lack of well-planned parking lots. Poor parking management creates congestion, delay, fuel wastage, and customer annoyance. The traditional method of identifying a free parking space consumes time and is most of the time frustrating, particularly during peak hours when demand for parking is high. There is a necessity for a clever and automatic solution to these inefficiencies through smooth parking management. The proposed solution revolutionizes the manner in which parking operations are undertaken by providing real-time tracking, auto allocation of slots, and digital payments to offer higher user experience as well as better operational efficiency. With the integration of innovative technology like IoT-supporting proximity sensors, monitoring cameras, and an internet-based platform, the system will able to facilitate a seamless entry and exit process. Motorists are able to easily locate and drive to existing parking areas courtesy of automated directional assistance, and parking operators have the capability of tracking and updating the state of occupancy in real-time. It also provides a system for effortless invoicing so that the overall process becomes clear and more convenient. This research paper examines the deployment and advantages of a Smart Parking Management System to enhance parking efficiency, minimize manual intervention, and facilitate traffic flow in extensive parking facilities. Through automation and real-time monitoring, this solution seeks to provide a more convenient and well-organized parking experience for administrators and car owners alike.
