Abstract: With the increase in population and economic development of modern society of world, more and more people have cars of their own. The result is that traffic jam is more often than ever before. What is worse, in the increasingly crowded cities is the possibility of not finding safe parking lot especially in such crowded areas which could be a frustrating experiment. As parking facilities grow large, drivers need advanced methods of parking to reduce inefficiencies in finding spaces. A solution to reduce the drivers' searching time for vacant car-park lots will greatly save time, reduce cost and improve the traffic flow in the car park areas. To this end, the researchers has created a web-based application (including PHP and MySQl server) which aims at providing its users (the drivers) several benefits-when they utilise it - such as provide real-time parking spot availability information in order to book a safe parking space any time and from any place, save them time and efforts, subscribe and pay electronically. In addition, the system allows parking owners and/or mangers to manage their own parking spaces bookings and subscriptions more efficiently.
