Prototype of an underground multi-storied automated car parking system

Abstract

This work proposes to develop and implement a prototype model of an efficient unmanned car parking system using microcontroller. Model developed for underground car parking with multiple floors, prevents the usage of the parking space at ground level. Entire process was automated so that it reduces the time wasted by a person to park a car. This model uses two circular floors, with six car-parking slots in each floor. This mechanism has centre primary shaft holding a lift to transport the vehicle to its appropriate parking slot. Various sensors, motors and software were used to detect and transport the car to its allocated parking slot. Hence, this system provides a closed loop control, making it an efficient, accurate, secure and a convenient method proposed for parking cars in both commercial and residential areas.
