With the rapid growth of urbanization, the number of vehicles on the road has significantly increased, leading to a growing demand for efficient parking solutions. One of the major challenges faced by by drivers in urban areas is the unavailability of parking spaces, especially during peak hours. This often results in excessive time spent searching for parking, fuel wastage, trafie congestion, and environmental pollution. This project proposes the design and implementation of a Smart Parking System using Arduino and Infrared (IR) sensors to detect the occupancy status of parking slots in real time. Each parking lane is equipped with IR sensors that monitor the availability of slots and relay this Information a microcontroller (Arduino). The data is then displayed on a user interface device, such as an LCD or mobile application, helping drivers to quickly identify and navigate to available parking spots. The system aims to minimize the time and effort required to find parking, reduce fuel consumption, and lower environmental pollution. It is a low- low-cost, scalable, and efficient solution suitable for for public and private parking facilities, The proposed smart parking system enhances urban mobility and contributes to the development of smarter and more sustainable
