Rapid urbanization and the continuous growth in vehicle population have intensified parking-related challenges in modern cities, including traffic congestion, fuel wastage, environmental pollution, and time loss. To address these issues, this paper proposes an Intelligent Parking Management System (IPMS) designed to automate parking operations and minimize human intervention. The proposed system enables real-time monitoring of parking slot availability, automatic vehicle detection, and controlled gate operation using embedded hardware components. Infrared and ultrasonic sensors are employed for vehicle detection and slot occupancy monitoring, while servo motors facilitate automated gate control. An LCD module and LED indicators provide real-time visual feedback to drivers regarding available parking spaces. The system is implemented using an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, ensuring reliable data processing and control. Additionally, dedicated electric vehicle (EV) parking slots with provision for wireless charging are incorporated to support sustainable transportation infrastructure. Experimental evaluation of the prototype demonstrates fast response time, accurate slot detection, and stable operation under varying conditions. The proposed IPMS offers a cost-effective and scalable solution suitable for small to medium-sized parking facilities and serves as a foundation for future integration with IoT and cloud-based smart city platforms.
