AB  - Urban parking problems worsen traffic jams, gas use, and pollution. Old parking systems often lack up-to-date space information, which annoys drivers and wastes their time. This research presents a smart IoT-enabled real-time space monitoring and booking system applicable to both urban parking management and Smart Manufacturing logistics environments, including loading bay coordination and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) docking station management. The system employs ultrasonic and IR sensors, managed by an Arduino UNO, to identify vehicles and track space availability. A servo-motor regulates entry. Slot data is presented on a Liquid Crystal Display screen and accessible through a mobile app. The tests suggest that the system is accurate (98.67%) and reduces entry and exit times to 1–2 s for gate actuation, and it can handle increased demand well. Proteus simulations support the system’s reliability. Real-time updates to slot availability improve the user experience and overall system efficiency in both urban and industrial deployment scenarios.
