Design of an Automated Car Parking System by using Microcontroller
Now a days, with the growing number of vehicles and consequent shortage of parking space there is a haphazard and totally unregulated parking of vehicles all over, the station calls out for an automated parking system that not only regulates parking in a given area but also keeps the manual control to a bare minimum. To cater to need here we present a minimum model of an automated car parking system that regulated the number of cars that can be parked in an area at any given time based on the parking space available. The entry and exit of vehicle are vacillated using to using to tally automated gate status signal indicates whether space is currently available in the parking lot and whether a car currently in the process of entering or leaving the parking space. To avoid the manual dependent system a Microcontroller-Based system has been developed. The microcontroller has been interfaced with a simple hardware to a PC so that the program can be easily changed as our needs. So, no special arrangement is required to reprogram the microcontroller. The project is less expensive and works satisfactory.
