ANDROID BASED SMART PARKING SYSTEM USING SLOT ALLOCATION & RESERVATIONS

Among the challenges that we face in our day to day life one of most unavoidable challenge is parking the car wherever we go. As our need increases our travelling increases but due to drastic increase in usage of vehicles and increase in population we face the tough task of parking our car particularly during busiest hours of the day. During peak hours most of the reserved parking area gets full and this leaves the user to search for their parking among other parking area which creates more traffic and leaves them with no indication on availability of parking space. To overcome this problem there is definitely a need for designed parking in commercial environment. To design such parking slot we need to take into the account of reservation of parking slot with optimal parking space which depends on cost and time. Cost function should also combine with the parking cost and proximity to the destination. However here we have designed the time driven sequence method which solves the problem of parking using slot allocation method. This paper proposes an android application, which is used to implement a prototype of Smart Parking System based on Reservation (SPSR) that allows drivers to effectively find and reserve the vacant parking spaces with the help of IoT (Internet of Things) with slot allocation method and performs automatic billing process.
