Abstract— In order to address these problems associated with
parking, smart parking systems aiming to satisfy the involved
parties (e.g., parking service providers and drivers) have been
developed. Based on the observation that parking space
reservation can help drivers to reduce the search time
dramatically, we propose a reservation-based solution, built on
advanced sensing and mobile communication technology, with
the objectives to alleviate the parking contention, balance the
benefits between parking service providers and drivers,
coordinate among service providers, differentiate the needs of
individual drivers, and reduce the amount of traffic searching for
parking as well. To achieve the design goals, a powerful tool to
model the behaviour of both service providers and drivers is
required.

I. INTRODUCTION
Finding a vacant parking space in a congested area or a large
parking lot, specially, in peak hours, is always time consuming
and frustrating to drivers. It is common for drivers to keep
circling a parking lot and look for a vacant parking space. To
minimize hassle and inconvenience to the drivers, many
parking guidance systems have been developed over the past
decade, where the system provides accurate, real-time car park
space availability to the drivers looking for parking spaces and
then guides them to the available spaces by dynamically
updated guide signs. The current parking guidance systems
obtain the availability of parking spaces using the GPS
enabled network using Android application after getting the
users request.
The user will have the application through which he can
send request to server main application. After that he can see
the available spaces for parking his vehicles.

If user wants any space he can select that space and reserve it
for limited time. If he cannot make their in that time then that
space will be available to others. If he again requests for same
place by sending message then time will be extended. The
proposed system uses GPS network and Google maps for
finding the available space. If the driver have the up-to-date
knowledge about the traffic situation like information about
the free parking place near the destination area it would be
then great benefit.

III. LITERATURE SURVEY
A. A Navigation and Reservation Based Smart Parking
Platform Using Genetic Optimization for Smart Cities:
With the development of technology, smart devices are
becoming more common in everyday life. The development of
devices that can connect to the Internet and transmit data has
been a source of inspiration for smart city designs. The
common problem in our cities is the difficulty of finding free
parking slots. The parking problem causes traffic to congest
and people who go to work are looking for a place. In this

study, navigation and reservation based parking proposal
system was developed for smart cities. The proposed method
involves the development of small devices that send data to
the internet using the internet of things (IoT) technology. The
free parking space closest to the current location is found by
genetic algorithm. The proposed method is tested for different
scenarios and accurate results are obtained.

B. Design of a Smart Parking System Using Wireless Sensor
Network:
In this article it is included the design of a smart parking
system, the base was the current system "Sistema integrado de
Estacionamiento (SIMERT)" and the mobility in Loja -
Ecuador, with the use of a sensor network and wireless
technology based in Zigbee 900 and Digimesh 2.4 GHz. To
the feasibility of the project it was considered a technological
platform that could be adapted to the city conditions and that
be friendly with the environment, furthermore the suggested
solution gives us connectivity with a Web application for
integrated parking and usability of administrators and final
users.
C. Smart Parking: Parking Occupancy Monitoring and
Visualization System for Smart Cities:
Parking space is becoming a serious problem due to the day-
by-day increase in number of vehicles on the road.
Particularly, in cities with large population, or in places where
sports or artistic events are scheduled, looking for parking
space is a major problem and finding a parking spot can be a
frustrating experience. In order to combat this problem, some
parking lots have introduced sensors to detect when a car
enters or leaves a parking lot in order to track capacity and
alert driversif they are full. This is a partial solution that
allows drivers to determine if a parking lot has open parking
spots, but not the exact location of those spots. In this paper,
we present a prototype of smart parking system using wireless
sensor technology and networks. Using a Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN), parking spot statuses (occupied or idle) are
detected and transmitted to a database. This information then
be accessed by users through website or mobile app
(application) to receive real-time updates. This system should
provide users with near instantaneous updates of available
parking spots while the WSN allows for flexibility of sensor
placement. With the successful implementation of smart

parking, the economical and time costs associated with traffic
jams, cost associated with wasted gas fuel, and time looking
for an empty parking space that are caused by inefficient
parking will be significant reduced.
D. IoT based Smart Parking System:
In recent times the concept of smart cities has gained grate
popularity. Thanks to the evolution of Internet of things the
idea of smart city now seems to be achievable. Consistent
efforts are being made in the field of IoT in order to maximize
the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure.
Problems such as, traffic congestion, limited car parking
facilities and road safety are being addressed by IoT. In this
paper, we present an IoT based cloud integrated smart parking
system. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-
site deployment of an IoT module that is used to monitor and
signalize the state of availability of each single parking space.
A mobile application is also provided that allows an end user
to check the availability of parking space and book a parking
slot accordingly. The paper also describes a high-level view of
the system architecture. Towards the end, the paper discusses
the working of the system in form of a use case that proves the
correctness of the proposed model.
E. iParker—A New Smart Car-Parking System Based on
Dynamic Resource Allocation and Pricing:
Parking in major cities, particularly with dense traffic, directly
affects the traffic flow and people’s life. In this paper, we
introduce a new smart parking system that is based on
intelligent resource allocation, reservation, and pricing. The
proposed system solves the current parking problems by
offering guaranteed parking reservations with the lowest
possible cost and searching time for drivers and the highest
revenue and resource utilization for parking managers. New
fair pricing policies are also proposed that can be implemented
in practice. The new system is based on mathematical
modelling using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP)
with the objective of minimizing the total monetary cost for
the drivers and maximizing the utilization of parking
resources.

IV. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The proposed system provides the parking vacancy to user
who requests for the parking information in nearby area. Basic
operation of parking allotment system is explained as, when
any user wants a parking space then he will request through
his android mobile using android application which will have
the login system. He will login into the system and then search
for available space in area which he wants. Request will go to
Admin (server), after verifying the user authentication admin
will provide the spaces available for parking in requested area.
From that available spaces user will reserve the space
which he want. Then that space will be reserved for that user
for a specific time. If user cannot make to the space in given
time then that space will be visible to other users. Further if
user wants same place then time will be extended for him.
After allocating the space user will get notification about
leaving the parking space in some time interval if user says
yes then the parking space status will be set to vacant and then
that space will be visible to other users
Fig. 3: System Architecture
Admin will find the vacant spaces using Google map
application and will store the spaces in database. User will get
that spaces in specific area will reserve one space for himself.
Location of space and location of user will be measured and

the distance will be calculated. Using that distance the time
will be calculated and if user will not make it to reach the
vacant space then he can request to extend the time. If user will
not reach in given time or in extended time then that place will
be available for other users.
V. CONCLUSION & FUTURE WORK
We the support of technology and will develop the above
discuss system to book Parking in Real-Time. We will
contribute to “Android Auto”. Our Proposed system will help
to improve the economical and time costs associated with
traffic jams, cost associated with wasted gas fuel, and time
looking for an empty parking space
