This document describes an Arduino automated parking lot system project. The system uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller to keep track of the number of parked cars up to a maximum of 9. It displays the number of open slots on a 7-segment display and controls a gate arm. The project aims to prototype an automated parking system and teach how to program and use Arduino. It lists the required components which include an Arduino Uno, servo motor, display, resistors, breadboard, and materials to build a mock parking lot.

3. What is Arduino?
 An open source.
 Prototyping platform.
 Easy to use hardware and software.
 Works according to the instructions to the microcontroller to the board.

4. Why Arduino?
 Inexpensive.
 Cross-platform.
 Simple, clear programming environment.
 Open source – extensible software and hardware.
We are using
Arduino Uno R3

5. Arduino automated Parking Lot System
 Microcontroller based Parking system.
 Keeps track of the number of cars parked (09 being the max number).
 Shows the number of slots unoccupied.
 Controls the gate-arm by itself.

6. Project Objectives
 To design and build up a prototype of an automated car park system.
 To learn how to control the prototype system for automated parking.
 To acknowledge how to program Arduino and make it work on any system.

7. List of necessities
 Arduino UNO R3
 RC Micro Servo (Hitec HS-55 or similar)
 7-Segment Display Common anode
 470 ohms resistors 1/4 w 5%
 Mini breadboard 170 points
 Cable jumpers Male-to-Male
 Solid wire AWG #22 (breadboard jumpers)
 Cardboard
 aluminum foil
 Alligator clips
 Wooden Coffee Stirrer (the barrier)
 White glue

9. Real life implementation
 Autonomous car-maneuvering system to perform parallel, perpendicular or
angle parking.
 Enhancing the comfort and safety of driving in constrained environments to steer
the car with attention.
 To ensure collision-free motion within the available space.

10. Limitations
 The 7-segment display shows the maximum count when if power is gone and again
comes back.
 Once the barrier is opened or closed, there is a count of the car.
 At the time of entering two consecutive cars, there is a overcrowding situation.
 There is a prohibition of entering and leaving two cars at a time.
