In latest days, the amount of cars has risen dramatically. As a result, free parking space has become a issue, particularly in metros. This raises the demand for the development of a semi-automated car parking system, which makes effective use of room and prevents traffic congestion. But the operation and maintenance of such a car parking system is very difficult. Earlier, the parking spaces available for parking were tracked by human staff, which was very time consuming. Here, we have created a semi-automatic parking scheme that provides a distinct parking slot for each vehicle. Therefore, the driver does not need to search for a vacant slot. This scheme also requires less manpower. Any number of cars entering or leaving the zone at the same time may also be accommodated. This stops the driver from stopping at the door. The system is extremely energy efficient by turning on the lamps in the parking area only when the vehicle is on the move, which makes it distinct from most parking schemes. A research on current systems shows that there are automated systems based on sensor networks or video systems that monitor the existence of vehicles and the accessibility of free parking spaces. They lack the benefit of giving each vehicle a distinctive slot, thus generating confusion when many vehicles arrive at the same time
