Car Parking System using Arduino

Abstract

Present day vehicle parking is a serious issue and day by day its need is increasing. In our country, we are always facing problems like time and fuel wastage, finding free space for parking around the public area. “Car Parking System Using Arduino” project aims at avoiding confusion and provides a hassle free and easy parking. The main aim of this project is to help the drivers in parking their vehicles within minimized time with precise information on the free space available to park, displayed on a LCD screen at the entry of the parking area or lot. The operator or the management of the parking system can also collect the fee for parking duration efficiently and can be further advanced in booking of parking space and pay using the system. This project includes an Arduino Uno to which the IR sensors, servo motor, LCD and are interfaced. The LCD is used to display the number of spaces available and total spaces in the parking lot. The counter is used to count the vehicles which are entering and leaving the garage or lot. Servo motor acts as a gate for controlling the flow of vehicles coming in and going out of the lot.
