| TITLE | To Design a Secure IoT-Based Smart Car Parking System Using Face Recognition |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | The rapid growth of urbanization and the increasing number of vehicles in modern cities have created significant challenges in managing parking spaces efficiently. Traditional parking systems rely on manual processes that result in delays, billing errors, and security vulnerabilities. This paper presents the design and implementation of a secure IoT-based smart car parking system that uses face recognition technology for contactless user authentication. The system leverages Python-based computer vision libraries, including OpenCV and the face_recognition framework, to detect and verify authorized users at parking entry and exit points. Upon successful authentication, an IoT-enabled gate mechanism controlled by a microcontroller automatically manages vehicle access. An automated finance module calculates parking charges based on entry and exit timestamps, ensuring accurate and transparent billing. A real-time SMTP-based notification module sends email alerts to users and administrators for entry confirmation, exit details, billing receipts, and unauthorized access attempts. All parking events and transaction records are stored digitally and exported as Excel reports for administrative monitoring and auditing. The system eliminates manual intervention, enhances security, improves billing accuracy, and offers a reliable, scalable smart parking solution suitable for modern smart city applications. |
