This paper proposes the use of an IoT system as a tool to reduce the time spent searching for parking spaces. The developed system consists of a monitoring prototype, a real- time database and a smartphone application. The monitoring prototype consists of a development board, based on ESP8266 microcontroller and wireless network modules, connected to ultrasonic sensors for monitoring parking spaces. The microcontroller uploads all data to a cloud-hosted database, which lets you identify which parking spaces are available in real time through a smartphone app. By identifying parking spaces available directly from your mobile phone, you can significantly reduce the time wasted while searching for a parking space.
