Abstract :
This project aims to develop a smart parking system using
Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system will consist of
sensors placed in each parking slot that detect the presence of
a vehicle and communicate the information to a central server.
A mobile app will be developed to allow users to view the
status of each parking slot in real-time and reserve a spot if
desired. The goal of the project is to improve the efficiency and
convenience of parking by reducing the time and effort
required to find a parking spot. The system will use the
Nodemcu ESP8266 Wifi module and Blynk app to monitor and
control the LED widgets. The LED widgets will indicate the
availability of parking spaces and the Blynk app will provide a
graphical user interface for the users to check the availability of
parking spaces.

Literature Review:

a) "Smart Parking System Using IoT" by Arulmozhi G. and K. P.

Suresh (2017) - In this research paper, the authors proposed a
smart parking system that uses IoT technology to detect the
availability of parking spaces. The system uses a combination of
ultrasonic sensors and microcontrollers to detect the presence
of cars and communicate this information to a centralized
server. The authors achieved an accuracy rate of 96% in
detecting the presence of cars.
b) "Smart Parking System using IOT and RFID" by Deepak R.
Wadnerkar and Mayur D. Jadhav (2018) - In this research paper,
the authors proposed a smart parking system that uses IoT and
RFID technology. The system uses RFID tags to identify cars and
IoT devices to communicate the availability of parking spaces to
the driver's mobile device. The authors achieved a 95%
accuracy rate in detecting the availability of parking spaces.a)
"Smart Car Parking System using IoT" by S. Nandhini and M.
Suresh, published in 2018. This research work proposed a smart
car parking system using the IoT technology. The system used
an ESP8266 wifi module, a NodeMCU board, and an Ultrasonic
sensor to detect the availability of parking spaces. The
drawback of this system was that it lacked a user-friendly
interface.
c) "An IoT Based Smart Parking System" by S. K. Shukla, A.
Kumar, and S. R. Mishra, published in 2018. This research work
proposed an IoT based smart parking system that used a
Raspberry Pi, an ESP8266 wifi module, and a PIR sensor to
detect the availability of parking spaces. The system also used
an LED to indicate the availability of parking spaces. The
drawback of this system was that it lacked real-time
information about the availability of parking spaces.
d) "Smart Parking System using IoT" by P. K. Sahu, R. K. Jain,
and A. Kumar, published in 2019. This research work proposed
a smart parking system using the IoT technology. The system
used an ESP8266 wifi module, a NodeMCU board, and an
Ultrasonic sensor to detect the availability of parking spaces.
The system also used a Blynk app to provide a graphical user
interface for the users to check the availability of parking
spaces.
e) "IoT-Based Smart Parking System" by Jian J. Lee, Ching-Yao T.
Chang and Y. H. Chen (2017) - In this research paper, the
authors proposed an IoT-based smart parking system that uses
a combination of sensors, microcontrollers and mobile devices
to detect the availability of parking spaces. The authors
achieved a 92% accuracy rate in detecting the availability of
parking spaces.

Proposed Methodology:

The proposed methodology of the IoT Car Parking System

project includes the following steps:
Hardware Requirements: The hardware requirements for
the IoT Car Parking System project include the Nodemcu
ESP8266 Wifi module, a NodeMCU board, LED widgets, and
an Ultrasonic sensor.
Workflow: The workflow of the IoT Car Parking System
project includes the following steps:
 Detecting the availability of parking spaces using the
Ultrasonic sensor.
 Sending the data to the Nodemcu ESP8266 Wifi module.
 Controlling the LED widgets to indicate the availability of
parking spaces.
 Providing a graphical user interface for the users to check
the availability of parking spaces using the Blynk app.
 c) Protocol: The IoT Car Parking System project will use the
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol to
send and receive data between the Nodemcu ESP8266
Wifi module and the Blynk app.
