Smart Parking System

A full-stack IoT parking solution with real-time monitoring.

[Components used]

ESP32 Dev Board

Reads the parking slot sensors and pushes live status updates online.

IR / Ultrasonic Sensors

Detect whether each parking slot is occupied or free.

Next.js Web App

Displays real-time slot availability to anyone visiting the dashboard.

Redis Database

Serverless shared state so the hardware and web app always agree on slot status.

[Overview]

A full-stack IoT parking system designed to monitor parking spaces in real time. An ESP32-based hardware controller communicates parking availability to a web application, allowing users to view the current status of parking slots through a centralized digital interface.

[Technologies used]
ESP32 Next.js Redis IoT Real-time Monitoring
[Challenge]

The main challenge was keeping the physical parking system and web interface synchronized. Changes detected by the hardware needed to be reflected quickly and reliably on the application while maintaining consistent parking-slot data across the system.

[Solution]

The system uses an ESP32 to handle the hardware and parking-slot detection, while the web application provides a real-time monitoring interface. A shared backend state connects the hardware and web layers, allowing parking availability to be updated and displayed without manually refreshing the application.
