These days, people spend hours trying to find a
parking spot especially during the rush hours. The main
challenge is not knowing where the free or available spaces
are located, even if known many vehicles simultaneously
pursue the free spot which leads to traffic congestion. In this
paper we are presenting the architecture and design of
proposed reservation-based interconnected parking system.
The system implements reservation facility to reduce the
problems related parking management. By reading the info
sent by our sensors deployed in the parking spots
periodically, we can update the status of the spot. The
Drivers can access this interconnected system through an app
on their smartphone.

Smart Parking, App, IOT
In this paper, we have developed a new prototype of Appbased
Smart Parking System (ABSPS) to optimize parking management. In this system, we implement parking
reservation policy to balance the benefit of service
providers and requirements from the users. Moreover, we
have presented the detailed design, implementation of the
prototype. We conclude that the proposed App-based
smart parking system can alleviate traffic congestion
caused parking searching and reduce the amount of traffic
volume searching for parking.
