Abstract

Internet of Things is the next big thing, as almost everything developed now has an extensive use of data which is then used to get the daily statistics and usage of every individual. The work mainly consists of constructing a screen where the parking space will be shown, and a camera module will be set up, and PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) will be at the entrance to detect the entrance of a car or any vehicle eligible to park at the lot. The vehicle will be scanned for its registration number in to provide a check whether the vehicle is registered to park or not. This also acts as the security of the parking lot. Moreover, a viable sensor will be placed at each parking slot through which the vacancy of each parking slot will be shown to determine the exact spot available to the user. In order to surpass the project completion, we will be using Raspberry Pi 3 with camera module mounted on it and by using Tensorflow, Node-Red we would be able to identify the car and the license number and also infrared sensor to detect the parking availability which would be displayed on the screen.
