Abstract:
Urban parking has become a critical challenge in metropolitan areas, with drivers spending significant time searching for available parking spaces. This research presents an IoT-enabled parking space detection system using ultrasonic sensors to provide real-time parking availability information. The system comprises HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, Node MCU ESP8266 microcontroller, and a cloud-based monitoring platform. Experimental results from a 20-slot parking facility over 30 days demonstrate 96.5% detection accuracy, with an average response time of 1.2 seconds. The system successfully reduced average parking search time by 43% compared to traditional methods. This cost-effective solution (approximately $8 per parking slot) offers scalable implementation for smart city parking management.
