In today’s resource crunching and time demanding of human lives Automation plays an important role of optimizing the usage of public entities such as Transport, Hospital, Government services to m ame few. Through this paper we would wish to depict the design and development of A low cost Automatic Car parking lot management System using Mobile Phone. The same could be easily integrated to become an IoT hence it can be made suitable for a Smart City scenario. The low cost Car Parking Application is developed using an Android mobile phone Application that serves as user friendly database for the easy access of available Parking lots at a Multipurpose Mall or Supermarket where customers want to drive-in with ease of parking and redeem of the vehicle being parked. In general, if the demand for parking lots is more than the availability it leads into congestion in walk around places and causes inconvenience to everyone at the Mall. A simpler low-cost Microcontroller based system having Bluetooth transceiver, Glue logic and Sensor to detect the empty parking lot is developed as a hardware unit that communicates and updates the Parking lot database on the Mobile phone. Also the system facilitates easy guidance to the driver of the car towards the empty parking lot through direction indicating lamps.
