This paper aims to create an innovative approach to improving IoT-based smart parking systems by integrating machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with mathematical approaches in order to increase the accuracy of the parking availability predictions. Three regression-based ML models, random forest, gradient boosting, and LightGBM, were developed and their predictive capability was compared using data collected from three parking locations in Skopje, North Macedonia from 2019 to 2021. The main novelty of this study is based on the use of autoregressive modeling strategies with lagged features and Z-score normalization to improve the accuracy of regression-based time series forecasts. Bayesian optimization was chosen for its ability to efficiently explore the hyperparameter space while minimizing RMSE. The lagged features were able to capture the temporal dependencies more effectively than the other models, resulting in lower RMSE values. The LightGBM model with lagged data produced an R2 of 0.9742 and an RMSE of 0.1580, making it the best model for time series prediction. Furthermore, an IoT-based system architecture was also developed and deployed which included real-time data collection from sensors placed at the entry and exit of the parking lots and from individual slots. The integration of ML, AI, and IoT technologies improves the efficiency of the parking management system, reduces traffic congestion and, most importantly, offers a scalable approach to the development of urban mobility solutions.
