“Intelligent Parking System (IPS)” provides user an easy way of booking the parking slots through an application. To avoid the problem of traffic conjunction in commercial areas that unnecessarily consumes time, this application provides the easy reservation system for parking. In this application the user can view various parking slots and check for the availability of slots. Whenever a car is parked in a parking slot , that parking slot will be marked red and all the available parking slots will be green.

Vehicle follows its path to the parking area. The user fixes his slots by showing his confirmation details to the concerned person at parking area. After communicating, the vehicle will further follow its path to the allocated parking slot. After successful parking the slot details are updated simultaneously in the Administrators database and that parking slot will be indicated by red colour.
