- Software: **Android Studio** ([docs](https://developer.android.com/studio))

## Article

The current system followed for the car-parking is as follows:

A car enters the car parking area. The concerned worker there checks for the availability of slots for the car. This checking process involves multiple chains of asking co-workers at different slots that are either directly or through internal calling systems. If there is a slot available, then the car is directed to that place by manual guidance which is prone to hindrances at multiple places before reaching the allotted slot. If there is no slot available, then the car has to go back and search for a parking slot in some other car parking area.

We can see that the current method has a lot of ambiguity attached to it.

And the task, though looks like a routine drill faced on a daily basis here, would make a huge lifestyle difference in all urban cities if improvised. Shopping malls, restaurants, movie theatres, multi-storeyed buildings, open-ground events, official complexes, and many other places will be greatly benefited from this kind of new technology.

SMART CAR PARKING SYSTEM
The proposed smart car parking system will overcome all the challenges and difficulties that are there in the conventional car-parking system. It saves us the time and effort that we put into this task, and also fuel wastage can be reduced. Smart car parking systems will be a revolutionary change in city life, which is so filled with automobiles. It could help bring order out of the chaos that exists at present in the car parking issue and make it really simple and easy.

OUTLINE OF THE NEW SYSTEM
The proposed system is very simple. It runs on three main ideas which are very common in today’s world: Mobile ApplicationSensorsCloud Storage

OUTLINE OF THE NEW SYSTEM
The basic outline of the concept is as follows: The car enters the parking area. The driver checks the corresponding mobile application for free slots. The sensors present in each parking slot will maintain a database of free slots at any given point in time in the cloud. The mobile application is updated with that and it, then suggests a parking slot, after considering various factors like which slot is near and easier to reach or simply, an optimum solution.
