Automated Car Parking with Empty Slot Detection Using IoT

Abstract

Nowadays the number of cars on road are increasing which leads to various problems of which one of them is parking. The public faces various problem such that parking has vacant slot or not. By using the proposed system one can preemptively know whether there is an empty slot or not by looking the LCD display outside the premises as well as android application which will show all the vacant parking slots. The system uses IR sensors alongside engines, LCD and microcontroller for controlling the system. The lcd shows void spaces to new car at gate of parking. On the off chance that no parking spot is accessible the system does not open the door and lcd says parking full.If space is vacant system enables car to enter the parking and shows void openings where client can stop. To identify vehicle opening inhabitance the system utilizes IR sensors. Additionally System utilizes IR sensors to distinguish vehicles touching base at stopping gates,to open the doors naturally on vehicle landing. The microcontroller is utilized to encourage the working of the whole system. Android application can also be used to find alternate parking premises in the area by displaying number of vacant parking slots in them too. It also allow user to book parking slot 15 minutes before user arrives else it will get cancelled if the user doesn’t arrive in the specified time.
