A Vehicle Parking System is a structured approach to managing and organizing parking spaces for vehicles efficiently. These systems can be manual or automated and are typically implemented in areas like malls, markets, commercial spaces, residential complexes, and urban parking facilities. The core functions of a vehicle parking system include:

1. Parking Space Management
   • Allocates parking spaces to vehicles based on availability.
   • Manages entry and exit points to avoid congestion.
   • Provides real-time information on vacant and occupied spots.
2. Entry and Exit Control
   • Uses technologies like RFID, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), or ticketing systems to manage vehicle entry and exit.
   • Ensures smooth traffic flow while recording time of entry and exit for billing purposes.
3. Payment and Billing
   • Automates the billing process based on the duration of parking.
   • Offers various payment options, including cash, card, mobile wallets, or online payments.
   • Dynamic pricing based on time, vehicle type, or parking zone.
4. Automated Systems
   • In modern systems, Automated Parking Systems (APS) use mechanical or robotic platforms to park vehicles, optimizing space in high-density areas.
   • These systems reduce the need for manual intervention and maximize parking space usage by storing vehicles vertically.
5. Mobile Applications
   • Some systems offer mobile apps where users can book a parking spot in advance, pay through the app, and even receive notifications about space availability and parking charges.
6. Data Analytics
   • Advanced systems provide data analysis for improving traffic management, occupancy rates, and optimizing revenue based on usage patterns.

The Vehicle Parking System aims to minimize parking-related issues such as space wastage, vehicle security concerns, and payment inefficiencies, ensuring a smooth, organized parking experience.
