Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) may also be a technological marvel that exemplifies the power of communications and computation.It can be defined as interconnected network of intelligent things that are prepared to comprehend, arrange, and share the knowledge they have learned with one another and with the user through a relay of linked computational devices.Many industries, agriculture sector, healthcare , retail management, transportation, supply chain management, smart city monitoring, etc. use and apply IoT.IoT is a technology revolution and find its application in diversified areas due to its features like capacity to store data, real time processing, IP enable communication and scalability.
In recent years, the idea of smart cities has gained momentum thanks to the development of the Internet of Things.Urban infrastructure is now more productive and reliable thanks to daily IoT upgrades.It is even assisting in mapping out problems like traffic congestion, a lack of available car parking, and road safety [1].Due to the exponential population and traffic growth of cities, it is now exceedingly challenging to look for an empty parking space when driving.When you arrive at a parking lot only to discover that it is full and that you must look for a few other spots, it is highly inconvenient [2][3].The rise in vehicles and the inefficient use of available parking spots causes parkingrelated issues and worsens traffic congestion in metropolitan areas.To help individuals discover appropriate parking spaces for their automobiles, an automatic smart parking system is therefore necessary [4].
Researchers proposed few solutions to address the above problem.A. Khanna and R. Anand, suggested smart parking system would deploy an IoT module on-site to track and signalise the availability of each and every parking loT [1].To avoid improper parking, Eparking system will use an integrated component called timer [3].A navigation and reservation-based parking proposal system was created utilizing a genetic algorithm to locate the closest free parking space to the user's current position [4].With the blending of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and sensor networks, a framework supporting a deep long STM network that will predict the supply of parking lots is developed in [5].The IoT based smart parking using RFID, IR sensors and mobile apps are proposed in [6][7][8].In this paper, the web and android based real time data acquisition system for parking available is developed.IR sensors are used for sensing parking slot occupancy.The DC motors are used to simulate the gate opening of parking space.The Wi-Fi modem is utilized for internet connectivity, and the system is run by an AVR microcontroller.Online connectivity and GUI design for IOT management are done with IOT Gecko.So, we have developed integrated smart parking system which not only detects free parking slots but also IR technology is used to sense arrival of vehicle before gate for automated gate opening which makes the developed model as autonomous smart parking system in smart cities.

System architecture 2.1 Parking slot availability application
The suggested system operates in a real-time environment and periodically updates the owner and attendant on the status of the car.Remote customers can now book parking spaces using a mobile application.Every time a user enters finding a parking slot, they get logged in to a database system.After login search for free parking lots are made, which the system responds to by sending a response message containing information about the duration and way of approach of the nearest parking space.Authorization of user is certified by scanning the chip at the end of vehicle RC card.This mechanism is low but worth for expenditure.This system enables only the genuine drivers to use the parking lot and making the job of attendant very much easy.The main components used for this project are: 1. Regulated Power Supply 2. Wi-Fi Module

IR Obstacle Detection Sensor
The architecture below explains how this works for the partners using this proprietary software as shown in Fig. 1.The administrator can track and monitor the status of their parking space in a real time scenario, thus ensuring that the spaces are used effectively and efficiently with least to none human involvement.The proposed idea consists of a framework supported a deep long Synchronous Transport Module (STM) network which will predict the supply of parking lot with the help of IoT, cloud and sensor networks.The Birmingham parking sensor dataset is employed to gauge the performance of deep long STM networks.Making a user interface that makes it simple, effective, and pleasurable for consumers to access a product of user interface design.The basic UI of mobile app developed is shown in Fig. 2.This particular application layer for this technique is especially governed using the mobile applications.This particular app developed using Android Studio provides a schematic representation of the user schema wherein with the mixture of user-friendly UI design the answer is formed into a reality.Once the user login, he can access the dashboard which given the basic information about near parking spaces available.On selection of particular parking space, go through the layout and identify the free parking spaces available along with time and distance.The information regarding the availability of parking spaces is then transmitted to the appliance.You can reserve a time slot for a certain window of time as well.When guests arrive, our partners convey the same information, ensuring a hassle-free parking experience for everyone.

Mobile/Web Application
The toolset named Firebase is used to build the mobile application.Unlike conventional app development, which often entails coding both frontend and backend software, Fire Base is a novel approach to creating apps.The frontend code only calls the backend's API endpoints; the backend code actually does the work.These UI designs made using Adobe XD comprises of the login screen, sign up, dashboard and every such aspects where the user both the client and the user is using the services Cloud Storage for Firebase is a powerful, user-friendly, and cost-effective object storage service created for Google scale.The Firebase SDKs for Cloud Storage provide Google security for file uploads and downloads for your Firebase apps regardless of network conditions.SDKs are used to store user-generated content including images, audio, and video.Same files on the server are accessed using Google Cloud Storage.
Along with the online database and hosting platform of firebase and offline source of database created using series of local computers to which global access was created to ensure data privacy and cost-effective standards of procedure.A MySQL relation in accordance with the XAMPP was created on the local server and hosted using node.js on global platforms to ensure the data connectivity relayed by IoT devices.This data stored is now fetched and accessed using JSON query requests through both mobile and web applications to use the real time information with ease.The parking dashboard developed by mobile application and web application is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig4.The mobile and web based application for IoT based smart parking system is named as ParkQuick.Fig. 5 shows schematic representation of the parking system ParkQuick using the circuitry elements as well as the web application and mobile application implementation
