        abstract = {Urbanization and the increase in vehicle numbers has made efficient parking management a major issue. This project aims to use an Arduino Nano microcontroller to develop a smart parking system to help with parking management, by automating the entry and exit processes and provide real-time information about the status of parking space availability. This system has six IR sensors placed in each parking location for detecting vehicle presence. Based on the information from these sensors, the number of available parking spaces is calculated. To stop unauthorized entries, two servo motors are used to control entry and exit gates, permitting entry only when parking spaces are available. An LCD with TX2 I2C interface is incorporated to display available slots, allowing the user to see parking space availability and decide whether to enter or not. The system contains two SMPS units that help to ensure power stability to the Arduino Nano and peripherals. This provides an operating flexible and modular system capable of managing parking situations with many vehicles. The smart parking system manages to enhance the use of parking while decreasing manual intervention, helps to reduce the amount of time a driver would hope to wait that would be unnecessary in determining their space, and reduce congestion around the location of parking lots. Overall, the project provides a low-cost and easy to use and therefore scalable solution that can help with the management of parking, not limiting it to shopping malls, office complexes and even residential areas.},
