1. INTRODUCTION This project deals with an identical downside and as an answer,
In today’s world, transportation plays a huge role in linking one the system is developed wherever anyone will park a lot
part of a town or city to another. As the speed of our life is of variety of vehicles during a smaller area.
increasing, the demand to perform every task easily with great
speed is a necessity. Also, as the population is increasing 2.1 Proposed block diagram
rapidly, there is huge growth in the number of vehicles. There is
a dire need to manage the parking of these vehicles. The most
common issue while parking is over crowding of the vehicles in
a small congested area. This leads to wastage of time and in way
wastage of fuel also.

The goal of our technology is to ease the process of parking and

reduce the load. So here we have developed an automatic
parking system, which can automatically manage the number of
cars inside the compact parking area. It also has the facility to
inform person trying to park his vehicle, whether a space to park
vehicle is available or not. In this project we have used an
Arduino Mega Microcontroller which used to sense the
movement of cars and depending upon whether there is a
capacity of cars to enter, it either open or close.

Mechanical car lifters are used to lift the cars to a level for
proper parking with the help of microcontroller. With the Fig. 1: Block diagram

2.1.1 RFID Card: RFID Cards have numerous vary of 3.2 Unparking
functions, whereas provides convenience because
the cards should merely be waived before of a reader instead
of swiped.

These cards are used for applications as access management in

security systems, time and attending, network login security,
biometric verification, cashless payment, and even event
management.

2.1.2 RFID reader: An RFID Reader may be

a device that's accustomed interrogate associate RFID tag. The
reader has an associate constitutional antenna that emits radio
waves; the tag responds by sends back its information.

2.1.3 Microcontroller: Microcontroller senses the signal given

from switches and decides the mode of operation that is drive the
motor of the parking system.

It fetches information from memory location and sends it to

output devices like show, motor driver and buzzer.

At the same time, it can accept data from Keypad for recharging Fig. 3: Flowchart of unparking vehicle
options and from IR receiver to sense that vehicle on parking
pallets. 4. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

2.1.4 Vending machine: An Arduino base vending machine is

used in the project. The vending machine is us Ed for costing
purpose. It is having RFID scanner on it to call the pallet having
a user’s vehicle.

2.1.5 DC Motor: DC Motor is used to open the Gate. This will

be done once the user has with success performed the RFID swap
operation with adequate balance.

When the sunshine emitted by the IR crystal rectifier is

incident on the photodiode once hit AN object, the resistance
of the photodiode falls down from a large price.

One of the inputs of the op-amp is at a threshold price set by the

potentiometer. The other input to the op-amp is from the
photodiode’s series resistance. When the incident radiation is a
lot of on the photodiode, the dip across the series resistance is
going to be high.

In the IC, each the edge voltage and therefore the voltage across

5. HARDWARE STRUCTURE
There are different types of material used to implement this car
parking system such as:
 EN8, Aluminum sheet, Aluminum bars
 EN8 material is selected on the basis of cost and its hardness.
Aluminium sheets are used to create 4 pallets to park the cars
and aluminium bars is used for pallet support. The car parking
structure is as shown in the figure.

7. CONCLUSION
This proposed system provides lower building cost per parking
slot, as they optimum parking solution. Fast parking typically
requires less building volume and process in which the driver
does not have ground area than a conventional facility with the
same capacity.
