Abstract : One of the major issues faced in day-to-day life is parking of the vehicles in offices, malls, complexes, multiplexes and other public places. It becomes a tedious task to find first of all where the parking area is and then to find whether parking slots are available or not. As the number of vehicle increases every day, nearly people spent 30-35 min in finding the parking area during peak hours. Smart parking is an envisioned solution for this. With the advancements in wireless internet of things technology it becomes easier to design and implement cost effective solutions for realizing automated smart parking systems especially in developing countries. This becomes extremely relevant especially in the context of planned smart cities in India. This research is motivated on this. A low cost wireless internet of things based smart parking solution has been designed and implemented. The system through a user friendly interface helps in finding the vacant slots. The status of slots are administered and monitored through a server.
