A smart parking system using Raspberry Pi and android app access is proposed in this article. An automated smart parking system which provides the user to pre-book along with on the spot booking facility of parking spaces available around the area is implemented. The system also helps to store the user’s information in database which enables for fast parking access thus reducing the traffic congestion. The hardware is realized using Raspberry Pi and IR sensor. In addition, the system is controlled through an app which is made using Kodular App Development tool, that helps the user to keep track of the updates about available parking spaces. The scalable and precise database can be created on firebase and host it on an application in real-time which is useful to store data in a json format (bucket format). The system is a perfect partner for people to book the parking spaces at their ease from remote locations without wasting time and avoiding traffic congestion.
