        abstract = {Urban drivers do not find time and slots for their car parking in busy areas like malls, IT offices etc. To avoid this error the parking mechanism with automatic tracking of parking slots with the help of IoT system have been implemented. For this system three layers of IoT is used first the perception layer where it involves the sensors which sense the data, next the transport layer where the sensed data passes with the help of Wifi communication protocol and the HTTP POST with the backend data, then comes the physical layer which involves the node backend and the react frontend with the express.js framework. The Application layer also involves the EC2 instance in Amazon Cloud Service platform. This demo helps to analyse the parking efficiency and fuel maintenance of the vehicles in the parking systems. It is the cost-effective system built with the ESP8266, the Hybrid sensors and the LCD 16x2 display (for advertising).},
