Internet of Things Driven Smart Parking System Design and Implementation (IoTSpS)
Öz
The IoT-driven Smart Parking System is designed to enhance the efficiency of parking operations in metropolitan areas and high-traffic zones. By enabling drivers to swiftly identify available parking spaces, the system not only saves time but also alleviates traffic congestion. Furthermore, it promotes the optimal utilization of parking infrastructure, contributing to improved urban management. A dedicated IoT-integrated mobile application streamlines the process of locating vacant parking spots, thereby reducing search durations and enhancing user convenience. This initiative aims to mitigate urban parking challenges while fostering the development of sustainable transportation solutions. Within the scope of this study, a prototype system was developed, integrating hardware, embedded software, and a mobile application. Infrared (IR) sensors were employed for detecting parking space occupancy, while servo motors facilitated barrier control at entry and exit points. Arduino Mega served as the primary hardware controller, whereas NodeMCU, equipped with a Wi-Fi module, was utilized for data transmission via Firebase. The mobile application, developed using Flutter, provides functionalities such as user authentication, parking space monitoring, and reservation management. Additionally, the system allows for automated fee calculation based on usage duration, enabling payments through the application. To validate the system’s performance, various operational scenarios were tested, successfully demonstrating the functionality of both the prototype and the mobile application.
