        abstract = {In today's rapid urbanization world, reach and effective management of parking spaces have become an important issue. The project presents a smart parking system based on the Internet of Things (IoT), designed to automate and customize parking operations in small to moderate size functions. The system is built with an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi module, infrared (IR) sensor, Saro Motors and I2C Brakes with 16 × 2 LCD, supported by a lead IoT mobile application for real-time monitoring. The system appoints the IR sensor to detect the presence of the vehicle in both entry/exit and individual parking spaces. When a vehicle reaches the entrance point, check the available parking spaces. If a track is free, the port automatically opens using an allo engine. The number of available and occupied tracks is updated on the LCD as well as on the Blynk app. The ESP8266 module provides a comfortable WiFi connection and shooting communication with the Blynk platform module. In addition, an LM2596 bank converter is used to regulate the voltage, which ensures safe operation of ESP8266 modules. The purpose of this smart parking solution is to reduce human intervention, improve parking efficiency and provide user -friendly interfaces for real -time monitoring.},
