AbstractThe concept of smart cities have always been a dream for humanity. The growth of Internet of Things have given rise to new possibilities in terms of smart cities. Smart parking facilities and traffic management systems have always been at the core of constructing smart cities. In this paper the system involves using low-cost sensors, RFID tags, real-time data collection and mobile

• phone – enabled automated payment systems that allow people to reserve parking very accurately and predict where they will likely find a spot, so this results in reduction in waiting time for parking, along with reduction in car emission and pollution, improved city visitor experience and need for man-power is reduced.

  1. INTRODUCTION

     In the past few years, cities in all countries are experiencing a huge growth in the number of vehicles used for transportation. A general trend toward increased mobility and the concentration of shops and restaurants in malls have created parking problems and traffic jams. Frustration with parking is a major concern for all stakeholders involved. As the number of vehicles are increasing, the problems faced by manual parking management system are also increasing. Such problems can be eliminated to some extent by implementing an intelligent parking system where the entry and exit of cars is monitored and payment is made easy with sensor technology.

     Vehicle parking management in organisations and malls often consists of many tasks like issuing tokens, noting the check-in and check-out time, calculating fare and finally collecting the amount. Parking Management Systems were developed to help people find parking spots quickly, thus reducing traffic jams and the resulting frustration, and enhancing the visitors experience.

     This system involves using low-cost sensors, RFID tags, real-time data collection, and mobile-phone-enabled automated payment systems that allow people to reserve parking very accurately predict where they will likely find a spot.It enables the user to find a vacant spot in parking area to park the vehicle, which includes online payment of parking fee in the most convenient way.The user has to download the application establish a bluetooth connection and park the

     vehicle in the vacant spot shown in the application. Thus, this will help to reduce the load on the administrators, and the physical work reduces drastically as well as the labour work. With the increase in population, number of vehicles has increased and due to unmanaged parking it leads to many problems. Increase number of vehicles creates congestion, wastage of time, tension, stress, wastage of money, increased car emission and pollution, unhealthy city visitor experience.

  2. CONTRIBUTION AND RELATED WORK

     The related works that we have referred to develop the prototype are as follows.NoorHazrinHanyMohamadHanif, Mohd Hafiz Badiozaman, HanitaDau[1] has proposed an architecture that includes short message technique and it has enhanced security due to password requirement and System can be used and applied anywhere due to ease of usage, but Cost of implementation is high, GSM feature creates bottlenecks, and the microcontroller will have to take a lot of load which can crash the system.

     Ashwin Sayeeraman, P.S.Ramesh [2] has propsed a model which includes parking lot vacancy module using ZigBee along with PIC. In the Security Feature: The exit password must be entered else the user is not allowed to get out of the parking bay as the barrier gate will not get open until correct exit password is entered, but the GSM and SMS module makes the system expensive and The SMS contains entry/exit password to the parking lot may not be received due to network congestion.

     Harmeet Singh, ChetanAnand, Vinay Kumar, Ankit Sharmauses[3].Bluetooth access Technique, the system uses the users Bluetooth for identification and registration. The system is transported to the parking location with the help of rack and pinion mechanism for linear motion. But it cannot be used in existing Parking system. The whole parking lot is to be designed with mechanical components such as rack and pinion mechanism.

     DharmaReddy, A.RajeshwarRaoDr. Syed Musthakmhl;poinm-Ahmed.[4] proposed a model usingImage processing technique , By using image processing technique it identifies car only but if any object other than car is at parking

     slot it doesnt considered that slot is booked. ButHigh cost of implementation, User will have to inquire for every slot available and GSM system creates bottlenecks.

     Hilal Al-Kharusi Ibrahim AlBahadly[5]proposed a system which captures and processes the rounded image drawn at parking lot and produces the information of the empty car parking spaces, camera is used as a sensor to take photos to show the occupancy of car parks and Single camera can detect the presence of many cars at once. But the weather conditions affect the System i.e. in terms of visibility,The camera should be in a position where it can see all the car parks and not be obstructed by any objects. And no guidance is provided to the parking lot.

     M.M.Rashid, A.Musa, MataurRahmanv, N.Farahana[6] use Less interaction of humans and use magnetic card and its devices and identify the vehicles automatically by reading the license, but Different algorithm has to be applied for different type of number plates and no way a user can reserve a parking lot.

     Geng, Christos, G. Cassandras [7]proposed a modelbased on Resource Allocation and Reservation. Reservation of the desired parking slot is available, Efficient resource allocation and management using MILP.But A parking spot is reserved by a driver, but it is occupied by a different driver. A parking spot is reserved by a driver, the driver parks his vehicle but forgets to confirm. The system requests confirmation and until the driver says YES.

     Faheem[8]propsed a survey on parking system and the goal of the survey is to give the comprehensive guide to the state of the art in smart parking. The surveys gave interesting preliminary studies on some existing smart parking solutions.ButThe survey is only about preliminary studies.

     Thanh Nam Pham1, Ming-Fong Tsai1, Duc Bing Nguyen1, Chyi-Ren Dow1 and Der-Jiunn Deng2[9] proposed a system which includes Better performance, Low Cost, includes resource allocation mechanics, Provides large scale parking system, but Car park should be registered in the smart parking system to provide service and the service cannot be provided if there is no smartphone.

     Zhanlin.Ji, Ivan.Ganchev, Mairtin.O Droma,[10] proposed a model which includes cloud based technique is used when a user enters the university campus through one of its gates the car parking mobile app will send an automatic HTTP request through the gates access point towards a web server, and JSON response will be returned, however the three layers such as Application layer session layer and communication layer in implementing parking system makes this technique complex.

The user has to first register through the mobile application which indeed stores information onto the server. After registering into the parking system the user has the privilege to connect bluetooth of the device with the parking area device. Then user uses the application and checkout for a vacant parking slot available. The application is updated eachtime when the vehicle is detected in the parking area with the help of IR sensors. Vehicle identification is done with the help of RFID tags which are present on each vehicle. RFID readers are present on the parking area which captures the RFID information of each vehicles.
