Finding a parking place is a process very stressful for a person who would like to reach a specific place. Here, we present a Smart Parking Application that helps users to reach a parking slot, in a shopping complex or any other location that provides parking facility. Also we introduce a policy of converting plots of individuals who are willing to give their plots for revenue. Individuals can register in the application about their plot and no of vehicles which can be parked with a layout of the plot. We also introduce a pre-booking facility by which users can book their parking slot according to their wish. Users can book the slots before reaching the destination and a reporting time is also asked for reservation of the slot. Cancellation of the slot is done if the user is late by ten minutes and a cancellation charge is imposed. A real-time monitoring is also done for analysing the availability of the remaining slots so users can check the slots using the layout of the parking area in the application. Vehicle details is identified by a camera using image processing for reading the licence plate of the vehicle.During Registering in the application a QR-code is generated which is unique for each user. Check-in and Check-out to the parking area is done using the QR-code. Payment is done using a wallet or using Cash. A minimum balance of Rupees 30 is to be maintained for cancellation charges.
