Circuit Diagram of Car Parking System
Let’s discuss the architecture of the project. At the very beginning, a sensor is placed to detect the presence of a car. Depending on the availability of parking slots, the gate (in this case, a servo motor) will open.
Case 1: if the slots are not available (i.e., the parking is full), the LCD display will show that the parking is full, and the gate will remain closed.
Case 2: if the slots are available, the gate will open. When the car passes in front of the second infrared sensor, it will act as an indication that the car is now in a parking lot, and the gate will close.
After that, based on the particular available slot, the car will be parked, and the LCD display will show the corresponding information.
Smart Parking System Using Arduino
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform comprising hardware and software components. It was created to make it easier for non-experts, such as artists, designers, and hobbyists, to work with electronics and create interactive projects. The platform includes an easy-to-use development board, a software development environment, and a community that shares projects, ideas, and resources.
