Abstract With the escalating number of vehicles and the lack of parking spaces, the issue of parking has become a significant problem in major cities as it is a daily occurrence for educational institutions, companies, and government facilities, resulting in fuel wastage and time inefficiencies. In their work lives, employees often face problems when parking their cars in the work parking area. Finding a space for their vehicle can take a lot of time and effort, leading to late arrival for work. On the other hand, security guards have difficulty entering their employees’ cars. In this context, our proposed system attempts to address this pressing issue, which consists of two parts: one is a camera at the parking gate that recognizes the license plate using the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) algorithm, where the camera captures the license plate and outputs the plate number using the optical character recognition (OCR) technique. After that, the resulting data is cross-referenced with database records for seamless entry authentication. This eliminates the need for security personnel to verify vehicle identities or stickers manually, streamlining access procedures. The second part is a camera in the car parks that distinguishes between vacant and available parking spaces and stores the data collected by the camera in the centralized database, enabling the real-time display of the nearest available parking spots on digital screens at entrance gates, significantly reducing the time and effort spent in locating parking spaces. Through this innovative solution, we aim to enhance urban mobility and alleviate the challenges associated with urban parking congestion, thereby resolving the problem of intelligent parking for smart cities with the help of machine learning.
