Design and Development of Sensor Based Multilevel Parking System

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to create a sensor based multilevel parking system which will assist the vehicle to directly proceed to the desired place or to the nearest parking location. As the vehicle population is increasing in our country the parking facilities for the vehicles have become troublesome. Due to this the parking arrangements and layout in huge buildings need to be improved. Thus, this system plays an important role in the smooth functioning of parking of vehicles by eliminating human errors which lead to accidents and ensuring the vehicle to reach its destination space without wastage of time and congestions. The system consists of a controller Arduino Mega 2560 which will receive the vacancy data from the IR sensor of the various levels once a human input is been given to the system. The data of vacancies will be displayed on the LCD and the system will check for nearest vacant area based on the algorithm to the destination and guide them to the available space to park. The system will also determine the parking time based on the entry and exit of the vehicle and the person will be charged accordingly.
