Abstract: With the explosion in the population of motor-vehicles using the streets every day, the task of finding parking space is ever more tedious. There simply are not enough public parking spaces to accommodate all the users. We have come up with a platform that integrates auction of the spaces for parking and alleviates the sharing and allocation problem of those. Owners of parking spaces rent out their spaces to drivers who pay a certain fee. The platform is developed through Internet of Things (IoT). It provides services to auction or rent private parking spaces from owners, alleviating the parking trouble. The platform uses the One-sided – Vickrey Clarke Groves (O-VCG) algorithm for allotting parking spaces and keeps the database of available spaces online on the cloud, accessible to users through the web. Users from mobile, vehicle and desktop interfaces can access the service.
