INTRODUCTION

The objective of Intelligent Car Parking System is to progressively reduce the demand of car parking and fast retrieval of car.
Prior Projects Employed For Parking are: Using 8051 microcontroller.
Using

Zigbee Technology.

Regulated Power Supply PIC MICROCONTROLLER PIC16F877A

Floor Interrupt switch Stepper motor Drive

IR Sensors RFID Car Sensors

Passive RFID Tag

Stepper motor

Start

Place the RFID Tag near the RFID Reader

No Is the Tag placed near RFID Reader ? Yes Read the RFID Tag using RFID reader Is Tag authorized ? Yes Yes Is the lift busy? No No Display as ACCESS DENIED on LCD DISPLAY Glow the RED LED indicating that the lift is busy

A
Find the empty parking space by taking feed back from the Infra-Red Sensors placed in parking area and display the name given to the parking space on the LCD Screen Open the gate and allow the vehicle to enter the parking area Is the parking space available in ground floor ?

Yes

Do not make use of the lift

No Indicate the presence of vehicle on the lift by sending the feedback from Infra-Red sensor mounted on the lift Is the vehicle detected on the lift? Yes

No

B
Wait for 5 seconds Rotate the stepper motor in anti-clock wise direction so that the lift connected to the belt of stepper motor moves in upward direction i.e., to the desired floor Wait for the feedback from IR sensor mounted on the lift, indicating that the vehicle has moved out from the lift Yes Is the vehicle detected on the lift? No Wait for 5 seconds

Rotate the stepper motor in clockwise direction, so that the lift goes back its original position i.e., ground floor Stop

Start Press the interrupt switch

No

Is the switch pressed?

Yes
Yes Is the lift busy? No

Glow the RED LED indicating that the lift is busy

Identify the floor, where the key has been pressed Is the key pressed from ground floor? No Yes

Do not make use of the lift

B
Rotate the stepper motor in anti-clock wise direction so that the lift connected to the belt of stepper motor moves in upward direction i.e., to the desired floor Wait for the feedback from IR sensor mounted on the lift, indicating the presence of vehicle on the lift Is the vehicle detected on the lift? Yes Wait for 5 seconds

No

Rotate the stepper motor in clockwise direction, so that the lift goes back its original position i.e., ground floor Stop
