The Smart Parking System with RFID and IoT is an innovative solution designed to address the growing parking crisis in urban areas. With the exponential growth in the number of vehicles on the road, existing parking infrastructures have become inadequate, leading to significant challenges. This system aims to revolutionize the conventional parking system by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

At the core of this system lies an RFID-based entry card system, which grants users access to available parking slots. Users are provided with an entry card and an Android-based mobile application, enabling them to conveniently check the availability of parking slots on their smartphones. The system operates on a prepaid basis, requiring users to maintain a minimum balance on their entry cards to gain access to the parking facility. If the balance falls below the required threshold, the system will deny entry, ensuring efficient parking management.

The Smart Parking System with RFID and IoT offers several key advantages, including:

1. Automatic Parking System with Zero Human Intervention: The entire parking process is automated, eliminating the need for manual intervention and enhancing efficiency.
2. RFID Scan for Access Verification: RFID technology is employed to verify users’ entry cards, ensuring secure and authorized access to the parking facility.
3. Automatic Gate Barriers for Entry and Exit: Automated gate barriers control the entry and exit points, providing a seamless parking experience.
4. Parking Slot Sensors for Empty Slot Detection: Intelligent sensors are strategically placed in each parking slot to detect occupancy and availability in real-time.
5. Online Parking Slot Availability on Phones: Users can conveniently check the availability of parking slots through the dedicated mobile application, enabling informed decision-making.
6. Easy to Use System: The system is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring a hassle-free parking experience for all users.

The Smart Parking System with RFID and IoT leverages a combination of cutting-edge technologies to achieve its smart parking capabilities. It incorporates RFID scanners, ESP8266 WiFi modules, servo motors, IR sensors, microcontrollers, and electronic components, all working in harmony to deliver an efficient and automated parking solution.
