1.INTRODUCTION

 

    In an era defined by urbanization and the ever-increasing number of vehicles on our roads, the quest for a parking spot in our cities has become an everyday challenge. Traffic congestion, wasted time, and the environmental repercussions of endless circling for an available parking space have driven the need for innovative parking management solutions. Welcome to a series of blogs dedicated to exploring the intricacies and possibilities of the Smart Parking Management System powered by the MERN technology stack – MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js – without the incorporation of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors.

    This series aims to unravel the immense potential and practicality of a Smart Parking Management System that relies on human-assisted real-time data management, user-friendly interfaces, and advanced web development. By delving into the core features, advantages, and potential limitations of such a system, we hope to provide a comprehensive overview for both parking facility operators and technology enthusiasts seeking a sustainable, cost-effective, and user-focused approach to parking management.

    As we embark on this journey, we will explore the benefits of a MERN-based system that prioritizes cost-efficiency and ease of implementation while addressing the challenges of data accuracy and scalability. Through a series of blogs, we will dissect the various components, functionalities, and future possibilities of a Smart Parking Management System that thrives without IoT but excels in user accessibility and flexibility.
