SMART PARKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Smart car parking project aims at providing a confusion free and easy parking. This project helps the drivers of the cars to park their vehicles with minimum wastage of time with accurate information of the availability of the space to park over Android app. The operator also can collect parking fees efficiently and the drivers can book and pay for their parking space over Android app. It includes an Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega as the microcontroller unit to which the servo motors, LCD, object counter using IC 555 and IC 4026, ultrasonic sensors (HC-05) and IR sensors SR21-IC are interfaced. The LCD displays the availability of the space, the counter keeps the check of the number of cars entering and exiting the parking space, the servo motor helps as gate for the entry and exit of the cars. The ultrasonic sensors detect the availability of the parking space.

Existing System

Proposed System

The Entry Part of the project consists of Arduino Mega microcontroller to which a servo motor, IR sensor, LCD and ultrasonic sensor are interfaced. The servo motor acts as a gate at the entrance and it opens and closes when the IR sensor detects presence of car. The LCD displays the parking slots which are empty for the car drivers. The ultrasonic sensors detect the presence and absence of car in each parking slot. The Exit Part of the project consists of Arduino Uno to which a servo motor, IR sensor and the object counter are interfaced. The servo motor acts as a gate at the entrance and it opens and closes when the IR sensor detects presence of car. The object counter circuit is designed using IC 555 and IC 4026 to count the number of cars exiting the parking space. This will help the operator to calculate the amount collected.
