Automatic Car Parking System

TARGET GROUP: PARKING LOTS

OBJECTIVES

·        To alleviate the aforementioned problems, the smart parking system has been developed with an application based on Internet of Things (IoT) that in Real-Time environment have sensors and devices embedded into parking spaces, transmitting data on the occupancy status; and the vehicle drivers can search for parking availability using their mobile phones or any infotainment system that is attached to the vehicle.

SUMMARY

In the modern world everything is going automatic we have built a system which will automatically sense the entry and exit of cars through the gate and then display the number of cars in the parking lot. Even we can set a maximum capacity of cars with the help of user interface given in the hardware in the form of switches so that there is no congestion. We have deployed a microcontroller which is used to sense the movement of cars and depending upon whether there is a capacity of cars to enter, it either free space is there or not. It is also possible to free space when any car enters in the parking lot or close the door when a car exits from the parking lot. The sensing of entry and exit of cars is done with the help of Infrared transmitters and receivers. Before the door the Infrared transmitter is mounted on one side and the receiver is placed directly in front of the transmitter across the door. When a car arrives the Infrared beam is blocked by the car and the receiver is devoid of Infrared rays and its output changes. This change in output is sensed by the microcontroller and accordingly it increments the count and opens the door if there is some capacity. The procedure for the exit of the cars is similar as the entry.
