Automatic Car Parking Indicator Using Microcontroller

This document describes an automatic car parking indicator system using a microcontroller. The system uses infrared transmitters and receivers in each parking lane to detect when a space is occupied or empty. An AVR microcontroller connected to the receivers determines the empty and full spaces and displays this information on an LED display at the entrance of the parking lot. The infrared communication does not require line of sight like RF and is less prone to false readings than light dependent resistors triggered by sunlight or headlights. The system aims to reduce human monitoring of parking lots and help drivers more easily find available spaces.

Automatic car parking indicator using

Microcontroller
Description:
Now days in many multiplex systems there is a severe problem for car parking systems. There are
many lanes for car parking, so to park a car one has to look for the all lanes. Moreover there is a lot
of men labor involved for this process for which there is lot of investment. So the need is to develop
a system which indicates directly which lane is vacant. So the project objective is to develop a
system to indicate the vacant lane. The project involves a system including infrared transmitter and
receiver in every lane and a led display outside the car parking gate.
Conventionally, car parking systems does not have any intelligent monitoring system. Parking lots
are monitored by human beings. All vehicles enter into the parking and waste time for searching for
parking slot. Sometimes it creates blockage. Condition become worse when there are multiple
parking lanes and each lane have multiple parking slots. Use of automated system for car parking
monitoring will reduce the human efforts. Display unit is installed on entrance of parking lot which
will show LEDs for all Parking slot and for all parking lanes. Empty slot is indicated by the respective
glowing LED.

Description:
We are going to use Infra Red transmitters and Receivers for each parking slot. The IR Receivers are
connected to AVR microcontroller. IR rays are obstructed when a car is parked in any parking slot.
Thus AVR will come to know that which slot is empty and which slot is full.
We have chosen IR module instead of RF module because we want a receiver having line of sight
communication with the transmitter. But RF does not require line of sight communication. And in
case of LDR, there is scope for false triggering due to sunlight or headlight of car. So considering all
these points we have finalized to use IR module.
For transmitter section we are going to use IR LEDs driven by a 555 timer IC. Timer IC will generate
a frequency of 38 KHz, which will be given to IR LEDs.
APPLICATIONS:
1) This project can be used for parking system in any shopping mall, multiplex
2) Can be used for industries, commercial offices and educational institutes.
