The Development of Smart Parking System based on NodeMCU 1.0 using the Internet of Things

Recently the number of vehicle ownership has been increasing, hence it needs a large parking area. The shortage is how to look for the empty parking space in the large parking area and also the amount of illegal parking car that does not follow the rules of the parking space unit. In this paper, we proposed the smart parking system using the Internet of Things (IoT) that can be part of a solution for the parking problem. This system help in organizing the parking lot and helps the driver to reach their parking spots easily as they known which space is vacant. The parking space can be detected using an Infrared sensor that connects to the ESP12-E (NodeMCU) module that was programmed through Arduino IDE. Users can access parking space information using a smartphone via an application. Especially for users who have been registered before, they have a code for login the app as the requirement for security system and user parking convenience. The system can work with the purpose of the research appropriately.
