Smart Parking With Automated Billing System

In this paper, aptly named as ‘Smart Parking with Automated Billing System’, a system is proposed with least human intervention to achieve an efficient billing system for a parking lot. By managing an efficient and automated billing system, the waiting time of each user is reduced, and thereby allowing the user to have a seamless and hassle-free experience. It also helps in lowering the amount of daily vehicle emissions by reducing the waiting period. This system is implemented on an ARM CORTEX M3 Board which has a low power consumption and functions in real time connected with an ESP-8266, MySQL (an open source database management system), RFID tags, a reader module and a GSM module for mobile communication.
