DETAILED DESCRIPTION
An IoT-based smart parking system to provide real-time data on parking space availability, pricing, payments, and beyond, for businesses and consumers. It positively impacts the environment and traffic. It also ensures efficient parking reservation and management.

Embodiments of the present invention discloses in reference to figure 1 an IoT based parking system (100), that comprises one or more users (101) with user devices (102) with parking system (100) application interface, a server (103), a processor, a database (104), a network (105), a parking lot (107) including one or more sensors.

User comprises an user (101) of a vehicle looking for a parking slot in the parking lot (107). The system's users may also include which include drivers and parking executives. User is interfaced to the system on a dedicated application programme interface which is downloaded and accessed on the user implementable device. The user implementable device is selected from any mobile, desktop, laptop, ipad and the like. These devices are configured such that they are connected to the programme application platform over a network.

Middleware of the system comprises the server (103), database (104) and the network (105). This middleware is a layer of software that facilitates data interchange and communication by acting as a go-between for the application and other networks and devices. The system comprises a server (103) that saves and handles the information gathered from the devices and gives the application an interface through which to access and control the information. The server is connected to the user devices over a network (105).

Network (105) according an embodiment of the present invention is a communication infrastructure that links all the parts, such as wired connections, wireless protocols (like Wi-Fi or cellular networks), and the internet.
