Arduino Automated Car Parking System PDF

This document describes how to build an Arduino automated car parking system. The system uses infrared proximity sensors to detect when a car arrives and the occupancy of two parking slots. It then displays the available slots on a homemade LED sign and opens the gate. If both slots are full, it flashes a red LED and keeps the gate closed. The circuit connects the sensors and servo motor that operates the gate to an Arduino board. Code uploaded to the Arduino controls the logic and outputs.

Step 1: Parts

Arduino - any board


Inf ra re d proxim m it y s e ns o r (pic 2 & 3 - both are functional)
330 r re s is t o r
some LED 's
S e rv o m o t o r - any model or size you wish.

Step 2: Making the LED Display

To make this LED dis pla y I have used a piece of bredboard then soldered the LED's and the 330r resistor. Then
just added a ribbon cable for nice nish.

NOTE: I soldered the resistors on back so that they cant be seen from front to make the display .

It would be better if you use LCD display or cheap OLED display instead of this. I had not any,so I made this.

Step 3: Making the Parking Garage

To make this I have used a card board box then cut it will use the usb cable of arduino to power the whole
to make a nice slope. Then added a piece of cardboard project cut some area of the box to access to that
on to the servo motor and hot glued it. Added one port.
sensor on the entrance and another on each SLOT.
Then hot glued two chopsticks with the display we Don't forget to paint it a little bit.
have made and glue it to the box. And of course as we

Step 4: The Circuit

It looks a bit mess for the LED's but tell you what, this Let me explain you. Power banks usually supplies 5v
is really very much simple circuit. 1Amp current which is input to arduino via the usb
cable, now there is a voltage regulator on arduino
NO T E: Proximity sensors use 5v to operate so you can which gives .5Amp to the board. By connecting to VIN
just connect them to 5v source of arduino. we are actually accessing the power from the power
bank without an breadboard. This works and safe.
But what theee!! whay has he connected servo to VIN!!

Now power the project using a USB cable to arduino
and have fun.

Let me know how you are thinking to upgrade this


and why.

I have some issues with my mechatronics related project. Need your help. Plz revert back asap.
Waiting for your reply.
I guess I'm late...

how can one ground wire of led can be connected to three different spots??

Ground wires are common in any circuit. No matter how many batteries you use (of same or
different voltage and ampH) you still have to common the Ground. Basic Electronics.
IN coding there is error of gate was not scope

This is not supposed to be showed. Do not copy the code. Pleas download from github.
