Automated Car Parking System

Abstract

This report presents the idea and implementation of automated car parking system. Automation or automatic control, is the use of various systems for operating equipments or objects with minimal or reduced human intervention. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labour, however, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision. In our project we are basically designing a parking system where one has to just enter the details of his car (like car registration number) at entry gate and then leave his car there and the car will automatically get parked at the available parking slot. If the parking area is full, a warning message of “Parking is full!” will be displayed. In this way that person will be able to save his time and energy. We have divided our project into four parts i.e. planning part, software implementation, research paper publication and hardware implementation. First of all we planned layout of our project. Then we implemented our project on software. For software implementation we used Atmel AVR Studio (for writing code in embedded C) and ISIS professional proteus (for circuit simulation). After successful implementation of our project on software we wrote a research paper on our idea which is got published in an International Journal (IJIREEICE) March 2016 issue. Finally we have also tested our project on hardware and we got positive results on it.
