ABSTRACT

The Project Automatic Car Parking System using 89C51 Microcontroller is an

interesting project which uses 89C51 microcontroller as its brain. The project is

designed for car parking. The aim of this project is to atomize the car park for

allowing the cars into the park. LCD is provided to display the information about

the total number of cars that can be parked and the place free for parking. Two IR

TX – RX pairs are used in this project to identify the entry or exit of the cars

into/out of park. These two IR TX – RX pairs are arranged either side of the gate.

The TX and RX are arranged face to face across the road so that the RX should get

IR signal continuously. Whenever the mains are switched on, the LCD displays the

message “parking space for 10 vehicles”. The number indicates the maximum

capacity of park in this project. Whenever a car comes in front of the gate, the IR

signal gets disturbed and the microcontroller will open the gate by rotating the

stepper motor. The gate will be closed only after the car leaves the second IR pair

since the microcontroller should know whether the car left the gate or not. Now the

microcontroller decrements the value of the count and displays it on LCD. In this

way, the microcontroller decrements the count whenever the car leaves the park

and displays it on LCD. If the count reaches ‘0’, i.e. if the park is completely filled,

the microcontroller will display “NO SPACE FOR PARKING” on LCD. And now

if any vehicle tries to enter the park, the gate will not be opened since there is no

space. If any vehicle leaves the park, the controller will increment the count and

allows the other vehicles for parking.

This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. Unregulated 12V DC is

used for relay. 7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation.

Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac output of secondary of

230/12V step down transformer.

INTRODUCTION

As the technology advances there is an increasing need for improvement in the

existing technology. So as we found out there are some areas where we can provide

a single unit control which will be must beneficial for providing an efficient

working in the industry. As the industry performing the manual work function so

we are trying to provide a single unit control to drive the multiple application under

the regulated control format so a single person can handle many application at a

time with more easy and comfortably.

With the advent of modern technology, the human brain is working day by day to

develop complex and more technology specific products which have multifarious

applications in the different aspects of work field.

This project deals with designing of one such product which can be used

multifariously in various commercial and official activities. An introduction to the

Project can be given as designing of an Automatic Car Parking controlled through

a microcontroller.

capacity.

Cars at a parklift is extremely secure. Getting extra space is major advantage but

there are other advantages; Cars are much safer at the parklift against burglary or

theft. The chance of getting hit by other cars up above is simply none. Systems can

be used indoors or out. Needs almost no maintenance.. Just like the Opti-lift; Major

lift is a dependent type parking mechanism; Please review files at "related

downloads" section at the bottom of this page. Hot dip galvanizing of all steel

components protects these lifts for life.

PARKING SYSTEM: 17.

There are many types of parking system. Some of are as follows

1. MULTI PARKING

Because each elevator and cart is operated independently on each

level, entry and exit is quick. Retrieval time of a vehicle is less than

two minutes.

Low noise and vibration. Elevators never touch guide rails, use of

urethane rollers minimize noise when transferring pallets from

elevator to carts and then to parking slot.

Entry and exit is very quick and convenient. We incorporate a built in

turntable on each elevator.

Completely equipped with multiple sensors and triple safety devices.

A self malfunction diagnostic control provides you with an excellent

level of safety and reliability.

The Multi-Parking system has been designed to automatically move

the vehicles by lift which then transfers it to a waiting cart on one of

the multi- levels. The carts then travel horizontally and place the

vehicle in its appropriate slot. This system is suitable for middle and

large-scale buildings as well as independent public parking garage.

The multi-parker can accommodate as little as 20 vehicles to several

thousand units. It is therefore suitable for large scale projects. It can

move more than 2 vehicles at the same time for maximum efficiency.

18.

2. TOWER PARKING

Minimal land use. An area of 7mx7m can park up to 50 vehicles.

Low noise and vibration. Elevators never touch guide rails, use of urethane

rollers minimize noise when transferring pallets from elevator to storage

area.

Entry and exit is very quick and convenient. We incorporate a built in

turntable on the elevator and retrieval time is less than two minutes.

Completely equipped with multiple sensors and triple safety devices. A self

malfunction diagnostic control provides you with an excellent level of

safety.

Has the capability of holding cue memory when multiple patrons come to

retrieve there vehicles during rush hours.

The elevator type often called the Parking Tower, is designed to

automatically move the vehicles on a pallet vertically on the elevator, it then

transfers it horizontally left or right for storage. Very fast retrieval time is

20.

accomplished in less than two minutes. This system is suitable for medium

or large scale buildings. It can also be used as a stand alone tower for a

parking garage business. Since it is controlled by an integrated computer

system, the overall operation can be viewed with one screen and its

operation is very user friendly. We incorporate German motors and

components are used in every system by world known SEW Eurodrive.

21.

3. SQUARE PARKING

With eight times the space efficiency of a ramped garage, this system can

use the narrow basement spaces to its maximum capacity.

Up to six levels can be equipped with this new technology.

With the adoption of the high speed lifting mechanism, the elevating

speed has become very quick, thereby significantly shortening the time

required for entering and leaving.

With our upper entrance design, it is convenient because the built-in

turntable allows for easy entry and exit.

After entering the vehicle in the parking garage, the parking system is

designed to move the vehicles vertically with elevators on each end. The

garage consists of several levels where the vehicles are moved

horizontally which rotate the pallets in conjunction with the elevators..

The multi floor circulation type is suitable for small and mid-sized

buildings because of its high space efficiency.

22.

4. Puzzle Parking in 2, 3, 4 or 5 HIGH versions

Independent parking

The top layer pallets can move up and down lower layer pallets can move

either left to right or up and down.

Max time to retrive cars is 60 sec with 2 & 3 high systems and 90 sec

with 4 & 5 High systems

PLC control, easy operation, push button

lifting with chain at 2 & 3 highs and steel cables at 4 & 5 High systems

Built in drop-protection, prevents failure and accidents.

Photoelectric checking system which controls vehicle size

Emergency stop pushbutton

Steel construction with complete galvanization

Safe operation, low maintenance

2. Wood

There are many types of woods we can used some of as follows

3. Voltage Regulater 7805

This is usually having three legs, converts varying input voltage and

produces a constant regulated output voltage. They are available in a variety

of outputs. The most common part numbers start with the numbers 78 or 79

and finish with two digits indicating the output voltage.

4. Capacitors

Capacitors store electrons by attracting them to a positive voltage. When the

voltage is reduced or removed, the electrons move off. When a capacitor

removes or adds electrons to the circuit in this fashion, it can work to smooth

out voltage fluctuations.

27.

5. Transistors

The transistor is an arrangement of semiconductor materials that share

common physical boundaries. Materials most commonly used are silicon,

gallium-arsenide, and germanium, into which impurities have been

introduced by a process called “doping.”

6. Light Dependent Resistor – LDR:-

Two cadmium sulphide(cds) photoconductive cells with spectral responses

similar to that of the human eye. The cell resistance falls with increasing

light intensity. Applications include smoke detection, automatic lighting

control, batch counting and burglar alarm systems.

5. Light emitting diode:

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are

used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for

lighting. The LED is based on the semiconductor diode.

6. Crystal Oscillator

One of the most important features of an oscillator is its Frequency Stability,

or in other words its ability to provide a constant frequency output under

varying conditions.

28.

7. Steeper motor:-

A type of motor which takes DC pulse input and gives rotating motion in

steps . Stepper Motors operate in DC voltage and rotate in steps. The rotation

is very precise and can be made to stop at an angle. They are of two types

Unipolar : which moves in one direction only

Bipolar : which moves in both directions

8. 2x16 Characters LCD Display

It is a display device used in Embedded system to display information .It

contains 32 character space on screen arranged in 16 columns and 2 rows. A

liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat Electronic visual display that uses

the light modulating properties of liquid cryseals(LCs).

WORKING

The initial condition for the lift is at ground. At the ground controller always check for the car to park and to retrieve car.

Car Parking –

Parking process starts with the car enters in the slot. Each floor consist

of two sensors, upper extreme & lower extreme to set/stop the position of

the lift.A display is provided at the ground floor which is basically a counter

that displays number of cars in each floor. It informs whether the floors are

29.

fully filled with the cars or is it having place in a particular floor or not.

There is facility of lift to carry the car to up and down. Movement of Lift is

controlled by stepper motor.When the lift reaches the first floor, the

processor compares the filled amount to that of the already fed capacity of

that floor, and if it finds that the first floor is fully filled , it goes to the

second floor and thus the procedure stops here. As soon as a car is placed in

a particular floor, the display counter at the ground floor increments as to

indicate the floor capacity has decreased by one. After the lift places the car

in a particular floor, it comes back to its normal position and that time, the

motor that drives it , also stops.When a person needs to come down from a

particular floor to ground floor, he is expected to focus the headlight onto

the LDR placed in that floor. Now sensor section sends signal to motor that

the lift has to be send back to that particular floor and sends a signal to glow

RED LED indicating that the lift is busy. As soon as the lift reaches that

particular floor car should come inside the lift, the display counter at the

ground floor decrements by one as to indicate the floor capacity has

increased by one. Lift comes back to its normal position and that time, the

motor that drives it , also stops.

LITERATURE REVIEW

This article by Smith and Roth (2003), talks about how advanced Car Park

techniques are being implemented using the SMS services available on cellular

phones. It describes how useful these advanced car parking systems are in

providing drivers with information about the structure of the car park system and

the spaces available for them to park their cars.

The availability of the vacant parking spaces is calculated by means of sensors

installed in the parking areas, which count the number of cars that enter and exit

from the parking space. Also, the number of parking tickets issued at the ticket

counter can be used to calculate the vacant spaces. All this information from the

sensors and the ticket counters is used to update a central database which stores all

the information about the areas of the parking space which is vacant or occupied.

Smith and Roth (2003) also compare the parking techniques used at various

airports in the United States. Among these, the notable ones are Houston

International airport and the Baltimore airport at Massachusetts. The parking

spaces at Houston international airport have wires embedded at the entry, exits and

the various levels of the parking lots. These wires act as sensors and record the

entry and exit of the card to update the central database. At the Baltimore airport,

there are ultrasonic sensors at the top of each parking space which sense the

availability or unavailability of each space. These sensors update the central

database. Information from this central database is used to display information at

the “way-find” signs at the end of each row of the parking area and advise the

drivers whether parking space is available or unavailable in that particular row.

These advanced car park systems also provide advanced, electronic payment

options for the customers. The idea behind these electronic payment options is to

prevent the customers from having to wait in long queues to but a ticket. “Queues

can cause congestion in areas within and outside of parking facilities”

[1]. Smith and Roth (2003), in their article, cite examples of mobile parking or “m-

parking” facilities that are being used in Vienna (Austria) and Melbourne

(Australia). Under the m-parking technology, customers initially register their

mobile number, the license plate number of the car and their credit card number

with the car park authorities, to create what is called a “virtual parking ticket

account”

[2]. This completes the initial, one-time registration process. Whenever the

customer needs to park, they would send an SMS text message to the number

provided by the car park authorities. The SMS message would consist of the

license plate number of the car, the location code of the parking area where they

want to park and the time duration (in minutes) for which the customer wants to

park. In return, the customer would then receive a text message from the car park

message centre, with the confirmation and the expiry time of their electronic

parking ticket. The customer would be sent a reminder SMS, 10 minutes before the

parking time expires. The bill for the parking ticket would come up on the

customer’s mobile bill.

Thus, these advanced car park techniques provide the car parking authorities as

well as the customers with the following advantages (Smith and Roth, 2003):

Reduction in time spent and fuel consumed while searching for available

parking space.

Reduction in congestion due to fewer cars driving around searching for

spaces.

Elimination of queues entering parking facilities because drivers will not go

to a facility where there is no available space.

Reduction in illegally parked vehicles.

Better distribution of flow and parking demand through the area.

APS systems result in higher revenues and profitability for the parking

facilities.
