Automated Parking System

Abstract

Abstract. The problem of traffic congestion in public parking areas often causes difficulties for users searching for parking spaces. To address this issue, the Smart Parking System (SPS) has been proposed to reduce traffic congestion, save users' time in finding parking spaces, and improve the efficiency of public parking operations. The system uses an ESP32 controller and infrared (IR) sensors to provide real-time information on the availability of parking spaces. Users can access this information through a mobile application or electronic display boards installed at the parking location. Through the use of this technology, SPS is able to detect vehicles entering and exiting the parking area, activate automatic barrier gates, and direct users to available spaces more efficiently. The study results show that SPS not only reduces traffic congestion and parking search time but also enhances the user experience and the efficiency of public parking operations. Designed to be a cost-effective and durable system, SPS is suitable for use in any public parking area and by any company providing parking services. [1][2][3]
