In recent times the concept of smart cities has gained unconfined popularity. Parking in the urban area has been a major problem these days. Traditional Parking System is not only expensive but moreover time-consuming process. An efficient way to manage the parking system would be by using the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). Consistent efforts are stuff made in the field of IoT in order to maximize the productivity and reliability of urban infrastructure. Problems such as traffic congestion, limited car parking facilities, and road safety are stuff reduced by IoT. The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site deployment of an IoT module that is used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of each single parking space. A mobile application is provided that allows an end user to check the availability of parking space and book a parking slot accordingly. If there is no parking slot available, the user can go into 'waiting' state similar to that of railway ticket booking system. According to the number of hours the vehicle is parked, the user will do the online payment. Availability of parking slots will be updated in real time.
