Abstract

Parking availability is a growing concern for university students, often leading to time inefficiencies, increased stress, and congestion within campus premises. This project aims to develop a web-based parking reservation system tailored specifically for students of the International Burch University (IBU). The core objective is to provide an intuitive platform that allows students to view available parking slots in real-time and reserve them in advance, reducing unnecessary vehicle circulation and improving overall parking management.
The system is built using modern web technologies, with a front-end developed in React and styled with Bootstrap for responsiveness and user-friendly interaction. Authentication is managed through Google Sign-In, restricted to university-issued student emails (ending in @stu.ibu.edu.ba) to ensure authorized access. The backend employs Node.js and Sequelize ORM for handling database operations, with parking data being managed dynamically t o reflect real-time changes in availability.
Functionality includes viewing parking layouts, selecting available slots, and booking or canceling reservations. A calendar and/or map interface provides a visual and interactive overview of parking slot statuses. The system distinguishes between student and professor parking zones to prevent cross-access and ensure fair usage.
