Smart Parking System

The Smart Parking System is an Arduino-based automation project designed to improve parking management by detecting available parking spaces and controlling vehicle entry. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to monitor parking slots in real time and displays the number of available spaces on an LCD. When a vehicle arrives at the entrance, the gate opens automatically if a parking space is available; otherwise, it remains closed and activates a buzzer to notify the driver that the parking area is full. This project helps reduce unnecessary traffic inside parking areas, saves drivers' time, improves parking efficiency, and demonstrates how embedded systems and automation can solve everyday urban challenges.
