Park Genie is a smart parking management system that enables users to find, book, and predict parking slot availability. The system integrates Node.js (Express.js), MongoDB, and Python (Machine Learning) to optimize parking slot usage and provide real-time availability and predictions based on historical data.
Real-time Parking Slot Availability: View available slots before arriving.
QR Code-based Booking System: Users receive a QR code for payment confirmation.
Machine Learning Predictions: Predicts when a slot will be free based on past data.
Session-based Slot Reservation: Ensures seamless user experience.
MongoDB Integration: Stores user and slot data efficiently.
