Abstract: The growing number of vehicles in urban areas has intensified the need for efficient parking management systems. Traditional parking methods are often inefficient, time-consuming, and contribute to traffic congestion and increased fuel consumption. This paper presents the design and implementation of an Arduino-based smart car parking system that automates the process of detecting and displaying the availability of parking slots. The system employs ultrasonic sensors to monitor individual parking spaces, an Arduino UNO micro-controller for processing sensor data, and an LCD to display real-time slot availability. The proposed system is cost-effective, scalable, and easy to deploy in small to medium-sized parking areas. Experimental results demonstrate the system's accuracy in detecting vehicle presence and effectiveness in reducing parking time and improving user convenience. The research highlights the potential for integration with mobile applications and IOT platforms for enhanced user experience and broader smart city applications.
