Abstract:
Finding parking in busy urban areas has become increasingly difficult due to the growing number of
vehicles, leading to traffic jams and frustration for drivers who sometimes forget or lose items when
parking. This project aims to solve these problems by creating an intelligent parking management
system using Django, which makes parking easier for both parking lot owners and drivers.
The web application lets parking lot owners list their parking spaces on the platform so that drivers
can check the real-time availability of parking slots. Drivers can see which slots are free, occupied,
or reserved and can even reserve a spot in advance.
The system uses ESP32 and ESP8266 hardware to simulate real-time updates on parking slot status.
It includes features for user authentication, parking management, reservations, lost and found items,
and statistics making the whole process smooth and efficient. Users can sign up, log in, update their
profiles, view lost and found items, view available parking slots, and make reservations, all in one
place.
