Description:
The Parking Space Finder is a web application designed to help users locate available parking spots in real time, whether in malls, public lots, or city streets. It’s ideal for reducing the time and stress of searching for parking in busy urban areas.

The backend (PHP, Java, or Node.js) manages parking spot data, availability status, and bookings, while the frontend (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript) offers a map-based, user-friendly interface. Integration with IoT sensors or parking APIs can make the system fully automated and accurate.

Key Features:

• Live parking availability updates using IoT sensors or manual updates.

• Map integration (Google Maps/OpenStreetMap) to display parking locations.

• Search filters (free parking, paid parking, covered/uncovered, EV charging spots).

• Real-time distance and estimated travel time calculation.

• Option to reserve a spot in advance (if supported).

• Cost details and payment options for paid parking.

• Navigation assistance to the selected parking spot.

• Mobile-friendly responsive design.

Example Use Case:
A driver in Pune opens the app, which detects their location and shows the nearest parking lots. The app indicates which ones have available spots, the cost per hour, and allows the driver to reserve a space before arrival.
