Read our blog which describes our IoT parking lot demo and the technology behind it. We will also tell you how to use Azure IoT Hub to send messages between Azure services and devices to achieve the same level of communication we had in our demo. You will learn about the different modules we have used in our demo and how to develop simple applications using Azure IoT Hub.
The main objective of this project is to avoid the congestion in the car parking area by implementing a parking management system. Normally at public places such as multiplex theaters, market areas, hospitals, function-halls, offices and shopping malls, one experiences the discomfort in looking out for a vacant parking slot, though it’s a paid facility with an attendant/ security guard. The parking management system is proposed to demonstrate hazel free parking for 32 cars, with 16 slots on each of the two floors. The proposed system uses 32 infrared transmitter-receiver pairs that remotely communicate the status of parking occupancy to the microcontroller system and displays the vacant slots on the display at the entrance of the parking so that the user gets to know the availability /unavailability of parking space prior to his/her entry into the parking place. In this system the users are guided to the vacant slot for parking using Bi-colored LEDs and the ultrasonic sensors enable the drivers to park the vehicle safely. The parking charges are automatically deducted from the user’s account using RFID technology. From security point of view a daily log-book of entry/exit along with the vehicle details is also registered in the computer’s memory.Implementation of concept of green communication and exception handling facility make the system concept unique and innovative.
The main motive behind this technology is to reduce and secure the parking issues in metro cities. They
technology is designed to solve the daily problems of parking in many places like malls, multiplex, award
functions, auditorium etc. The aim and purpose is to scale down an efficient working model of a vehicle parking
system for accommodating vehicles within a limited area. The goal is to provide better security and reliability
with an advanced vehicle parking system. Architects and designers are finding various possible solutions to
reduce this people problem.
Smart Parking systems typically obtains information about available parking spaces in a particular geographic area and process is real-time to place vehicles at available positions .It involves using low-cost sensors, real-time data collection, and mobile-phone-enabled automated payment systems that allow people to reserve parking in advance or very accurately predict where they will likely find a spot.

With increasing vehicle size in the luxury segment and crunching parking space, traffic congestion is increasingly becoming an alarming concern in almost all major cities around the world. Burning about a million barrels of the world’s oil every day, and considering cities are turning urban without a well-planned, convenience-driven retreat from the cars, these problems will only worsen.
Smart Parking systems is one of the latest disruptive technologies that help address this problem by generating real time contextual information about the available parking spaces particular geographical area to accommodate vehicles low-cost sensors, mobility-enabled automated payment systems, real-time data collection, Smart Parking systems is designed to aid drivers to precisely find a spot.
What’s more, Smart Parking also minimizes emissions from vehicle in urban centers when deployed as a system by decreasing the dependency of people; unnecessarily circling the blocks trying to identify parking space. Apart from this green cause, by employing a host of technologies such as M2M telematics, Smart Parking helps resolve one of the biggest problems when driving around in urban areas – which is illegal parking and identifying free parking space.
An Overview of Parking Slot Detection Techniquesijtsrd
The aim of this study is to design and implement an automatic parking system to increase parking usability and safety and to collect parking fees for vehicles without having to use a magnetic card. A clever car park system can work with fewer human connections and does not need a magnetic card. There is also a parking assistance system that can advise and guide the user to the correct car park. In order to detect the number plates for the parking and payment system, the system used image processing. In general, the systems use pre programmed controls to ensure that at least one person is involved in the parking system and control access to restricted areas.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract: This paper presents a design and implementation of a smart and unique car parking system to
support the modern day tedious car parking design using RFID reader and PIC controller. In the presented
prototype model we describe and implement a parking tower with 2 floors and 2 slots per floor on either sides of
the central lift. This prototype has a central lift where the user actually mobilizes his car and then the system
designed with PIC controller automatically identifies the empty slot and parks the car at the corresponding slot.
A group of Sensors, Conveyor belts, motors and software are embedded together to work as a system to
transport the car to its calculated parking slot. The System embedded with a real time clock helps us to
calculate the time period during which the car is parked, thus helping an automatic e-commerce system to
deduct the amount for the mentioned time period from the users account. The system has a GSM add-on module
which will automatically respond’s to the users SMS request by letting him the available slots at a given time.
Keywords: PIC Controller, automated car parking, sensors, GSM and RFID.
I. Introduction
Considering the present day car parking tedious job where not only the number of cars are increasing
but also the parking space is very limited. Thus it is not only a cumbersome task to find out the available slot
and this includes the car movement across the multiple slots and there by even wasting a considerable amount of
fuel as well. The movement of the car along the parking slots may also damage the other cars which are parked
and even resulting in the traffic slowdown and congestion. Considering the present day parking systems where
the user don’t even have an idea of the available parking slots though there are some available slots as we they
lack the monitoring system for the same. Thus the situation where a user faces the traffic congestion in parking
areas is very much obvious. Thus to solve the above problem different approaches have been used to resolve the
same which includes wireless sensor network system, a vision-based system, and the multi-storied parking
system[1]-[4]. Car parking system designed with multi-stored space allotment is one of the most efficient and
trending approach to meet the present day space requirements.
.
II. Back Ground
Considering the present day problem of parking the cars, which has become a serious problem in
metropolitan cities as the rate at which the private vehicles is increasing very rapidly. Though there are some
parking mechanisms which are fully automated and still does not provide any mechanism, where in the user can
request for the available slots prior to entering the parking area. This really makes situation even worse as some
times the user needs to navigate through the entire parking area to find a parking slot. Though some of the
present day parking systems say them self as automated parking systems but still use the human resources to
determine and provide the data related to the available slots. Thus, considering the above mentioned facts we
can conclude that the existing parking system does not meet the modern car parking requirements and does not
give enough confidence to solve the car parking solution.
The Modern day electronic sensors seems to provides us enough confidence to solve the presented
problem [2] and they can sense and detect, using which we can capture and collect the information related to
empty parking slots. The presented system will make use of the electronic sensors in each and every parking slot
and thus they would help us in providing the information related to the status of the parking slots. Though the
cost of the Sensors at each of the parking slot increases proportionally with the increase in the number of
parking slots however when we consider this to the employing a human resource is an effective solution as the
human resources wage is increasing predominantly. The presented system is also integrated with the GSM
Module so that when a user requests for the details related to the available slots the system will send a SMS text
message to the user with the details related to the parking slots and the same will send the message stating "No
Slots Available for Parking". Thus with the mentioned information the user can take a wise decision whether to
park vehicle or not, which in turn saves the users fuel cost. This seems to be a reliable solution to the above
mentioned problem as we are not only letting the user to take a wise decision but also to choose any other
parking tower.
Primarily the automated car parking system relies on the advanced technology that will use mechanical

handling to be precise to handle the lift and the conveyer belts movements along with the data processing. In the
presented system the driver leaves the car in the parking module lift once his RFID is authorized and if and only
if system finds any available slots at that instance [5]. However during the peak parking times the user’s needs
to wait as the system is busy serving others requests who are already in queue. The real time clock which gets
activated once the user parks a vehicle and will stop once the user has exited the parking slot and an integrated
e-commerce system will automatically deduct the corresponding amount from the user’s account which is
tagged to the RFID of same for that period. This not only reduces the queue for parking where in the users need
not wait paying the vendor for utilizing the parking slot. Additionally the system is integrated with a parking
counter which will measure the total number of vehicles that have been parked.
.
III. System Design
The Automatic car parking system enables the parking of the vehicles floor after the floor in a vertical
fashion thus reducing the space used. The System is controlled with software that has been implemented using a
PIC controller and thus reducing the time wasted by a person to find a parking slot manually and park the
vehicle.
Fig. 1. Model of the proposed multi-storied car parking system
Fig. 2.Actually implemented multi-storied car parking system for simulation.
In this presented prototype, a vertical building with 2 floors, with 2 car-parking slots in each floor on
either side of the central lift. It also consists of a lift to transport the vehicle to its appropriate parking level. This
model was developed with DC motor drive controlled with H-Bridge and IR sensors to detect the available slot
and then transport the car to its allocated parking slot. To understand the pros and cons of the proposed system it
is always suggested to implement the mentioned prototype. Hence the prototype is implemented with the
following hardware and micro controller based software. The hardware requirements for the prototype include
PIC 18F452 microcontroller, IR sensors, relays and relay driver, DC motors, LCD display, Conveyer belts,
GSM Module, Real time clock, Buzzer and other miscellaneous components.
Through the course of building the prototype we will be using the PIC C Compiler for compiling the
code, which will be dumped on PIC Controller later on. MATLAB supported software will be used to capture
and store the images of the Car Registration Number and Driver [6]-[7]. As a hardware tool we will use the
Express PCB for designing and deploying the entire setup.
The proposed model prototype is shown in the fig.1 and 2. The LCD display at the entrance will
provide the information related to the parking slots available along with the welcome messages. Each and every
parking slot is assigned with an IR Sensor, Conveyer belt with transport mechanism integrated to a DC motor
drive. The central lift section has a separate DC motor which will move the lift the appropriate floor and once it
reaches the respective floor where the car needs to be parked, the conveyer belt will be activated to move the car
from the lift to the parking slot in that floor, and thus the car is parked. Once the Car is parked the IR sensor will
no longer send the free slot signal and thus the system knows which all parking slots are filled. The LCD display
at the entrance will poll all the IR Sensors at the regular intervals and also when a car is parked and un-parked,
so as to display the available slots.
Once the user finds any available slots in the LCD display, the user proceeds to the RFID tag reader
sensor and presents his RFID card to the Sensor. Upon successful validation of the RFID the webcam present at
the entrance will take the picture of the Car Registration number and Drivers image automatically and save them
for further reference. The user then places the car on the entrance conveyer belt and leaves the car. This
conveyer will move the car to the lift and then the lift will move to the nearest floor where the parking slot is
available. The car is then parked in the parking slot as mentioned earlier and the count is increased in the LCD
display and the real time clock for that parking slot will be activated. The lift will now move to the ground floor
or neutral position to serve other’s requests.

When the user presents the RFID Card at the entrance, system then searches for a parking slot where
the car is parked using the same. Once the system finds out the corresponding parking slot the lift will move to
the parking slot and then activates the conveyer belt at that location and thus the car is moved to the lift. During
the same the real time clock is stopped and will send the time period during which the car is parked to the
central system along with the RFID so that it can debit the money from the user’s bank account. The lift will
then move the car to the ground floor where the user can drive the car exit from the parking station.
Regarding the implementation of Net Banking integration, which the PIC Controller does not support
directly, thus the PIC controller will just send the duration and RFID details to a central server. Once the central
server receives the same it will use a software module running on the same to deduct the amount from the users
account. The software module design is not discussed here and as a part of our implementation we will just use
the same as a vendor. It is this software module which will request to different banks using the appropriate API
to request for the amount transfer from a corresponding account.
Our prototype has a reporting feature where in a counter will be used to determine the number of cars
that were parked on that day and which will be displayed on the entrance LCD system.
The System is also integrated with GSM SIM 900 Model controller [8]-[10] which will respond to a
user’s SMS request (Ex: A message AVAILABLE_PARKING_SLOTS sent to GSM number : 9985123456) for
the empty parking slots by finding out the empty parking slots via the PIC Controller with the help of the IR
Sensors fitted at the parking slots. An example message mentioning the available parking slots would be
"Available Parking slots 2, 3 @ 10:30 AM of 20/4/2014" Or "Currently No Parking Slots are available". Thus
the system with all these capabilities provides an accurate, efficient and reliable method for car parking for the
present day metropolitan cities.

IV. System Architecture
Architecture
Fig.3 shows the system architecture of the proposed model. It uses PIC18F452 Controller, LED
indicators, LCD display screen, RFID card reader, GSM SIM 900 Module, Real-time clock and a Buzzer. A
number of IR Sensors equal to the number of parking slots are connected to the microcontroller to detect
whether the parking slot is empty or not. A group of conveyor belts and DC motors are used for moving the cars
in and out and also to operate the lift.

Execution
The presented figure can be divided into 2 parks, the first being the parking tower and the second being
the assembled IC with PIC controller and other mentioned components. Once the system is initiated the central
lift will be moved to the ground floor and all the IR sensors are activated to know the status of the empty slots
and the system will wait for the input to the RFID Reader.
Now let us discuss the system actual execution in the details. Once the car is placed in the conveyer
belt (blue colored belt) of the central lift and upon presenting the RFID, the System will read the RFID and if
the same is not valid the buzzer will be blow to alert the user. However if the same is a valid one, the central lift
will move the respective floor and once reaching the floor successfully the conveyer belt in the lift and the floor
are activated for a desired calculated time and the car in the lift if moved from the central lift to the parking slot.
Once the car is moved from the central lift to the parking slot the real time clock is activated and the time stamp
is noted. Then the central lift will move to the ground floor and the details related to the car parking slot are
displayed in the LCD display.

Now let us see the series of messages in the LCD display which are displayed through the course of the car
parking work flow.
Coming to the car exit scenario, once the user presents the RFID using which a car is parked. The
System will query its internal memory to find out parking slot and then the lift will move to the corresponding
floor and after reaching the floor the conveyer belts in the slot and the lift activated to move the car from the slot
to the lift. Then the lift is moved to the ground floor. During the same the real time clock will be pinged again to
know the time stamp so that using the time stamp noted earlier and now the duration during which the car is
parked and the same will now be sent to the PAYPAL server using the GSM SIM GET or POST HTTP method
and which will deduct the amount from the users account.
Now let us see the series of messages in the LCD display which are displayed through the course of the
car exit work flow
V. Conclusion
The effective and robust hassle-free payment integrated multi-storied car parking prototype design
along with the development is presented in this paper. This presented system seems to be one of the promising
solution for the metropolitan cities where the exiting parking traffic needs to wait for long while for the cash
transactions related to the parking, which in-turn will cause the traffic congestion. This promising system not
only reduces the fuel usage to find the parking slot and time to find a parking slot but also provides additional
capabilities to the user which is nothing but the SMS request mechanism with which a user can take an
intelligent decision to approach a parking station or not while he is at the home or while is on the way to the
parking station. Although the current system meets the present day challenges as it has many advantages
compared to others, however there are some real time implementation issues such as we are only supporting the
registered RFID's and also the user needs to get the banks approval so that the system can deduct the money
from the users account. The System can be further enhanced with the below enhancements.
