Smart Parking System using Artificial Intelligence and IoT

Rapid growth in urban population and the increasing number of vehicles have created serious challenges in parking management.Conventional parking systems are inefficient, time-consuming, and often lead to traffic congestion, fuel wastage, and increased air pollution.To address these problems, this paper presents a Smart Parking System using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) for smart city applications.The proposed system utilizes IoT-based sensors installed in parking slots to detect vehicle presence and monitor real-time slot availability.The sensor data is transmitted to a cloud platform through wireless communication.Artificial Intelligence algorithms analyze this data to predict parking availability, identify usage patterns, and optimize space utilization.Users can access real-time parking information through a mobile or web-based application, which guides them to the nearest available parking space.This intelligent system significantly reduces the time spent searching for parking, minimizes traffic congestion, lowers fuel consumption, and enhances user convenience.Additionally, it supports efficient parking management and provides accurate data for future planning.The proposed smart parking solution is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for implementation in modern smart city infrastructure, offering a reliable and automated approach to urban parking problems.
