Development Of A System Using IoT To Monitor And Manage Parking Spaces In Real-Time:- Okechukwu Okezie P

ABSTRACT An automated parking system (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars. IOT Parking Systems utilize advanced technologies to optimize the use of parking spaces in urban areas. They involve the deployment of sensors, communication networks, data processing units, and user interfaces to create a seamless parking experience for drivers. The problem statement focus on traffic congestion due to densely populated areas, waste of time in finding a parking space, increase in fuel consumption, environmental pollution, during rush hour usage the drivers suffer from technical problems, parkers not familiar with the system, failing to push the button to alert a fully automated system to the presence of a car to be parked. The project focuses on the develop a system using IoT to monitor and manage parking spaces in real-time that would be able to optimize the use of parking resources, reduce traffic congestion and enhance the overall parking. The research was achieved by developing a platform for real time system using IoT to monitor and manage parking spaces, build a database structure used to store data, create a module used to login and add vehicle, design a platform that add vehicle categories' details and design a platform that display parking status. The project was realized through the adoption of primary and secondary sources of data collection which includes interview, observation, questionnaire, the internet and journals. The research methodology used is Agile methodology The system is implemented by using Html, PHP and MySQL for the database The results showed that the system addresses the challenges by optimizing the use of parking resources, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance the overall parking.
