The Parking Management with ANPR System is a fully developed Java-based web application designed to modernize conventional parking operations by removing the limitations of manual ticket generation, cash transactions, and physical parking slot searches that often result in traffic congestion, revenue loss, and inconvenience for drivers. The system allows registered users to check realtime parking slot status, reserve a preferred slot by choosing the required duration, complete secure online transactions, and immediately obtain a unique QR code associated with their booking information. At both entry and exit points, the QR code is scanned through a webcam or mobile device, enabling automated and contactless vehicle access while the system precisely determines parking time and total payment charges. The application is built using Node.js and Express.js for backend operations, MongoDB for database management, and modern JavaScript-based technologies for frontend development. QR code creation and scanning functionalities are implemented through JavaScript libraries, while secure payment processing is supported using multiple online payment methods. The project is currently in the final implementation and testing stage, where all major modules have been successfully integrated and verified. The primary goal is to deliver a scalable, economical, environmentally friendly, and usercentric smart parking solution appropriate for shopping malls, hospitals, airports, and municipal parking areas, thereby helping reduce urban traffic issues, lowering manual intervention, and significantly supporting smart city infrastructure and intelligent transportation systems.
