        abstract = {The rapid increase in the number of vehicles in urban areas has created significant challenges in managing parking spaces efficiently. This paper presents a Next Gen Parking System that automates the detection and management of parking slots using sensor-based technology. The system utilizes IR and ultrasonic sensors along with an ESP32 microcontroller to monitor vehicle presence and provide real-time parking availability information. An LCD display is used to indicate the status of parking slots, helping drivers quickly identify vacant spaces. The proposed system reduces traffic congestion, minimizes human effort, and improves the overall utilization of parking areas. Additionally, the system can be extended with IoT-based features such as online booking and remote monitoring for enhanced functionality in smart city applications.},
