The increasing number of vehicles around the globe increases the parking problem. Parking of vehicle in front of the house or in the basement of shopping mall, consumes a lot of time and energy of the driver. Additionally, the emission of extra CO2 is adding to the environmental cause globally. So here, author has proposed a solution of mentioned problem. An Automated Parking Management System (APMS) is proposed here that dynamically detect the vacant parking slots. This interface will provide the facility of advance booking through which the user can book a parking slot in advance to avoid last moment rush. The user can also locate, view the nearest empty parking lot in advance and plan his/her journey accordingly. The proposed work is done with the help of sensors that will fetch the data dynamically from the parking slots (whether they are vacant, occupied or waiting) with the help of raspberry pie. The retrieved data is interfaced by an android application that will then show the status of the slots. Apart from mentioned advantages, this work also addresses the environmental concerns due to CO2 emission. In short, through this application user will get a safe and secure vacant parking slot without any hustle and wastage of time
