Smart Parking System using IOT with Blynk and RFID

Abstract

This project presents a Smart Parking System tailored to address the unique parking challenges of organizations and restricted-access entities. It integrates Infrared (IR) sensors, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, and Cloud connectivity. IR sensors monitor parking space occupancy in real-time, while RFID tags serve as secure physical credentials for authorized personnel, enhancing access control. The system incorporates a Blynk app for authorized users to access real-time parking data, check availability, and helps users make informed decisions about parking. This app acts as a centralized hub for efficient parking management, improving the overall parking experience. Architecturally, the system utilizes a centralized control unit controlling interactions between IR sensors, RFID authentication, and the Blynk cloud server. This approach allows only authorized users to access the parking lot, resulting in a scalable and adaptable solution prioritizing exclusivity, efficiency, convenience, and security in parking management for specialized environments.
