Abstract

Urban parking congestion continues to be a pressing issue in rapidly developing cities. Traditional parking systems lack digital coordination and real-time availability information, leading to inefficiencies and user frustration. 'ParkEase' is a mobile-based parking management application that simplifies the parking process by integrating Google Maps and Firebase to provide real-time parking availability, booking functionality, and administrative management. The platform enables users to view available parking areas, book slots in advance, and access navigation directly through the map interface. An admin panel allows real-time updates and slot monitoring. Though the payment feature is currently inactive, the architecture supports future integration of secure online transactions. 'ParkEase' enhances urban mobility, reduces time spent searching for parking, and lays the groundwork for a digital, user-centric parking ecosystem.
