This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) based mobile-controlled car with an emergency parking system that integrates advanced functionalities to enhance safety and user convenience, utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller as its core. The system allows users to control the car remotely via a mobile application, leveraging Wi-Fi connectivity for seamless communication. Key features include LED indicators for various operations such as reversing, left and right turns, and brake activation, ensuring clear signaling in real-time. The innovative emergency parking system detects obstacles or emergencies using sensors and halts the vehicle automatically, reducing the risk of accidents. The car's lightweight, energy-efficient design, combined with the versatility of the ESP32, ensures a responsive and reliable operation. Additionally, the system provides an intuitive user interface through the mobile app, enabling precise control and real-time feedback. The proposed system is faster in response compared to the existing systems. Moreover, the proposed system consumes less energy, and hence, it uses the battery more efficiently, extending the time of operation. Lower power consumption ensures longer operation time, reducing the need for frequent charging and making the system more practical. This paper demonstrates the integration of IoT and embedded systems to create a smart vehicle solution suitable for various applications, including robotics, automation, and personal transport. Its cost-effectiveness and scalability make it a viable choice for both hobbyists and developers.
