IoT Based Smart Parking System using RFID ESP8266 & Mobile App

The rapid growth of urban areas has resulted in a significant increase in the number of vehicles, which, in turn, has made efficient parking management a pressing issue.Traditional parking systems face challenges such as inefficient space utilization and long wait times for users.This paper reviews an IoT-based smart parking system leveraging Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), ESP8266 microcontroller, and a mobile application to offer real-time parking space monitoring, automated vehicle entry, and reduced human intervention.The proposed solution aims to provide a cost-effective and user-friendly parking system for smart cities, reducing parking congestion and enhancing user experience.The system includes automated identification of vehicles using RFID tags, data communication via ESP8266, and a mobile app interface for monitoring and booking parking slots.Results indicate improved parking space utilization and a significant reduction in waiting time.
