Vehicle parking is a major issue in our daily life, due to this the traffic has been increasing. The technology was developed, and the population has been increased. The main objective of this Paper is to develop a hardware system and to find the number of vacant parking slots using IoT technology, to identify the number of parking slots which are available in the parking lot and park the vehicle automatically. In big cities there will be big shopping malls, restaurants, companies etc. So, to overcome that problem this project is introducing car parking with automatic valet parking system using IoT technology. This model says about how the parking is being done without human involvement, this is nothing but valet parking. The main components in the paper are Arduino which is used to control the whole system by taking the inputs and process to control the output actuators, IR sensors which senses whether the slot is occupied or empty. NodeMCU is an arduino like controller with an in-built WiFi module which connects to internet and sends the information to the server, and the status of the vehicle parking can be visualized through Blynk application. Blynk also allows the user to remotely reserve, park and retrieve the vehicle. DC motors are used to control the elevator system to lift the vehicle and place it in the specified vacant slot. This can be implemented in real time so that the users can easily check the status of the vacant parking space to park the vehicle.
