SmartParkPro — Automated IoT Parking System
Final-year project: an automated entry/exit parking system with live availability display, built on Arduino, NodeMCU and a web dashboard.
- E2E
- hardware → firmware → web, built solo
Das Problem
Manual parking management wastes staff time and gives drivers no visibility into free spaces before entering.
Die Lösung
Built an automated entry/exit system: sensors detect vehicles, Arduino controls barriers, NodeMCU (ESP8266) pushes occupancy state over Wi-Fi to a web application showing live space availability. Also delivered Arduino-based home automation controlling appliances from a phone — early proof of the hardware-to-web skills later used in the signage platform.
Architektur
- Arduino: sensor reading and barrier actuation.
- NodeMCU/ESP8266: Wi-Fi bridge pushing state to the web backend.
- Web app: live availability display for drivers and an admin view.
Zentrale Funktionen
Automated entry/exit
Sensor-triggered barriers, no attendant required.
Live availability
Real-time free-space count on displays and the web app.

Erkenntnisse
- IoT reliability is a power-supply and connectivity problem before it's a software problem.
- This project is the direct ancestor of my production Raspberry Pi work.
