Integrated Car Park System for Smart Parking Solution

Abstract

This paper studies a smart parking solution by implementing an integrated car park system using
the Internet of Things (IoT) technology that is combined with an android application. The proposed
system enables users using android devices to view the current state of the car park
(vacant/occupied slots) and reserve a parking lot. Subsequently, the system automatically
generates a unique QR code for each booking that allows users to enter and exit the car park. The
proposed system also includes e-wallet capabilities for automatic payment at the exit gate. A
microcontroller with sensors to monitor the current state of the parking lot are adopted for this
purpose, as well as control a mechanism to physically reserve a parking lot for the users. The
system will greatly streamline the parking process as users will be able to monitor the car park
availability beforehand and this will help combat the issues related to the search of a parking lot.
