Abstract

Nowadays, finding a free parking slot can be very stressful in densely populated areas like
Karbala, especially in visiting days. Such parking process takes a long time, wastes significant
gasoline and emits extra vehicle exhaust that harms the environment. The problem becomes
even more significant when entering a multilevel parking lot, only to discover that there are no
free spaces. This results in wasted time and frustration. To address this problems, an efficient
smart parking management system is needed in all multilevel parking lots to ensure confusionfree and convenient parking. In this paper, we design a smart multilevel parking system using
an Arduino microcontroller. This system will enable drivers to quickly identify available
parking spaces, thereby reducing time, energy consumption, and air pollution. Also, we
propose a predictive mathematical model to expect the state of the parking lot, thus enhancing
the proposed management system in terms of reducing waiting time of the Arduino action for
getting a free space from the IR parking sensor of the parking floors.
