3. SMART CAR PARKING SYSTEM
Automatic multistoried car parking system helps to minimize the parking area. In the
modern world where parking space has become a very big problem, it has become very
important to avoid the wastage of space in modern big companies and apartments etc. in
places where more than 100 cars need to be parked, this system proves to be useful in
reducing wastage of space. This automatic car parking system enables the parking of
vehicles, floor after floor and thus reducing the space used. Here any number of cars can
be parked according to the requirement. These makes the system modernized and thus
space-saving one. This idea is developed using 8051 microcontroller.
1 THEORY OF PROJECT
A display is provided at the ground floor which is basically a counter which will count the
number of cars in each floor and according to that message will be displayed on it. A
gate is also provided at the ground floor which is controlled by the stepper motor. Before
the gate an IR pair is provided to sense that the car has reached towards the gate. For
e.g. suppose a car reaches between the 2 IR pairs, then the LCD will display the
particular floor on which car can be parked. As soon as the car crosses the 2nd
IR pair,
the gate will open automatically. An indicator with green and red led is kept on each floor
to indicate whether the car can be parked on that particular floor or not. If green led of
any particular floor glows, then it will indicate that the particular floor is empty and you
can park your car on that floor. But in case if red led of that particular floor glows, then it
will indicate that there is no vacancy on that floor, in such case you can park your car on
the next floor according to the indication.
If there is no parking place, then all the red indicators of the floors will glow and the LCD
will display “NO SPACE FOR PARKING” and the gate will remain closed.
Program is written using 8051 microcontroller. All the circuits are interfaced with it.
2 ADVANTAGES OF MULTI-STORYCAR PARKING:-
Any like Newyork, Delhi, London has over five million cars and two-wheelers on its
roads, but not enough parking spaces. The demand for parking space has, on an
average in the main markets of Delhi, outstripped demand by 43 per cent. It is not just a
problem of Delhi or Mumbai; all the big cities in India are facing the space crunch.
Parking space is fast becoming a major issue in other cities like Kolkata, Bangalore,

4. Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Pune and other urban and semi-urban cities.
Multi-storey car parks provide lower building cost per parking slot, as they typically
require less building volume and less ground area than a conventional facility with the
same capacity.
A multi-storey car parks offer greatest possible flexibility for the realization of optimum
parking solution. Time-saving vertical and horizontal movements take place
simultaneously ensuring fast parking and retrieval times.
3 DISADVANTAGES OF MULTI-STORYCAR PARKING:-
Drivers who use multi-story parking facilities, sometimes known as parking garages,
often enjoy a number of benefits the structures provide. Despite the ability of the garages
to house a large number of cars, multi-story parking facilities also carry a number of
distinct disadvantages that arise from their tall, enclosed and often dimly lit nature.
1.Deterioration and Maintenance
Multi-story parking facilities support hundreds of thousands of pounds of vehicles, people
and equipment every day. Because the garages support very large amounts of weight
and loads that constantly change, the structures quickly deteriorate in the absence of
constant maintenance activity. In addition, according to Canada’s National Resource
Council, changing weather and environmental conditions can deteriorate a garage’s steel
support structure, creating an unsafe environment for garage users. A number of
corrosion inhibitors can help delay processes that eat away at the structure’s integrity,
according to the National Resource Council, but constant maintenance and upkeep must
include anti-corrosion measures to keep multi-story parking facilities structurally sound.
2.Parking Angle Considerations
Because many drivers of varying levels of skills and experience drive in, around and out
of parking garages every day, designers must pay special attention to the configuration
of parking spaces within the structures. In a municipal parking garage presentation
prepared by architects Sakri and Khairuddin, the designers noted that two-way traffic
flow in a multi-story garage presents a number of parking challenges for drivers and
designers. Parallel parking, for example, creates an inefficient use of limited space, while
straight parking spaces make parking difficult for some drivers. Other options, like angled
parking, do not work well with a two-way traffic flow and can only work well in garages
with separate entrance and exit openings.

5. 3.Safety
Because multi-story parking facilities allow limited natural light inside, some security
experts express concern about safety inside the structures. In their municipal
presentation, architects Sakri and Khairuddin recommend security devices that directly
connect to local police or public safety stations. In addition, the architects explicitly
describe a need to reduce dark places where criminals may hide. Even with security
measures in place, though, criminals still seem to thrive in multi-story parking structures;
in a 2009 article in the Chicago Sun-Times, one parking garage user expressed
frustration after experiencing three burglaries within two years.

7. ABSTRACT
The Project Automatic Car Parking System using 89C51 Microcontroller is an interesting
project which uses 89C51 microcontroller as its brain. The project is designed for car
parking. The aim of this project is to atomize the car park for allowing the cars into the
park. LCD is provided to display the information about the total number of cars that can
be parked and the place free for parking. Two IR Tx Rx pairs are used in this project to
identify the entry or exit of the cars into out of park. These two IR TX-RX pairs are
arranged either side of the gate. The TX and Rx are arranged face to face across the road
so that the RX should get IR signal continuously. Whenever the mains are switched
on, the LCD displays the message"parking space for 10 vehicles". The number indicates
the maximum capacity of park in this project. Whenever a car comes in front of the
gate, the IR signal gets disturbed and the microcontroller will open the gate by rotating
the stepper motor. The gate will be closed only after the car leaves the second IR pair
since the microcontroller should know whether the car left the gate or not. Now the
microcontroller decrements the value of the count and displays it on LCD. In this way, the
microcontroller decrements the count whenever the car leaves the park and displays it on
LCD. lf the count reaches'0', i e. if the park is completely filled, the microcontroller will
display"NO SPACE FOR PARKING" on LCD. And now if any vehicle tries to enter the
park, the gate will not be opened since there is no space. If any vehicle leaves the
park, the controller will increment the count and allows the other vehicles for parking This
project uses regulated 5v. 500mA power supply. Unregulated 12v DC is used for
relay. 7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full
wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/12V step down
transformer

seconds for the 2 layer system and 70 seconds for the 3 layer system
hotels, public and private parking lots, car collectors car rentals and dealers, for both
indoor and outdoor installations. Highly suitable for places with low height
constraints(Height clearance as low as 270 cm 106" No site building works required for
installation. Where there is a large parking requirement, using low cost commercial
power units, these lifts can be positioned next to each other for maximum space
utilization. Being a dependent type parking system, makes this unit suitable for valet
operation. Please view"lifting up short movie" at the bottom of the page under the

14. heading"related downloads". Adjustable height clearance with electric switch. This
particular model comes in 4 difterent sizes:

Typically electro-static owen painted but also can be completely hotdip galvanized on demand.
13 3 MAJOR LIFT
Industrial type prefabricated park-lifts can be used by Municipalities in high- traffic city
centers to deminish traffic caused by parking-space searching cars and increase parking
capacities Increase the car parking capacity of your office building. At an auto gallery to
demo more cars to get extra attention at the showroom. At a pay parking lot to increase
the capacity of the premises. At a city centrum hotel garden, airport, shopping mall to
increase the parking capacity Cars at a parklift is extremely secure. Getting extra space
is major advantage but there are other advantages: Cars much safer at the parklift
against burglary or theft. The chance of getting hit by other cars up above is simply
none. Systems can be used indoorsor out Needs almost no maintenance. Just like the
Opti-lift Major lift is a dependent type parking mechanism. Hot dip galvanizing of all steel
components protects these lifts for life.

15. 4.IDEA LIFT

5. HIGH – LIFT

16. They are engineered to lift motor vehicles for parking purposes but also suitable for car
dealers to use as a showcase with glasscover around the steel construction. Structural
Analysis for these lifts has been carried out in accordance with UBC-97(Uniform Building
Code) & AscE-7(American Society of civil Engineers) with EQ and wind loads taken into
consideration. Systems are approved by City of New York Dept. of Buildings. During
manufacture, these units are sand blasted, treated with an anti-corrosion coating and
then painted giving a long operational life.. 4 highs and 3 highs come in 2 different
height versions for sedans and suvs.
1.MULTLPARKING
Because each elevator and cart is operated independently on each level, entry and
exit is quick. Retrieval time of a vehicle is less than two minutes.
Low noise and vibration. Elevators never touch guide rails, use of urethane rollers
minimize noise when transferring pallets from elevator to carts and then to parking
slot.
Entry and exit is very quick and convenient. We incorporate a built in turntable on
each elevator.
Completely equipped with multiple sensors and triple safety devices. A self malfunction
diagnostic control provides you with an excellent level of safety and reliability.

17. The Multi-Parking system has been designed to automatically move the vehicles by
lift which then transfers it to a waiting cart on one of the multi-levels. The carts then
travel horizontally and place the vehicle in its appropriate slot. This system is suitable
for middle and large-scale buildings as well as independent public parking
garage. The multi-parker can accommodate as little as 20 vehicles to several
thousand units. It is therefore suitable for large scale projects. It can move more
than 2 vehicles at the same time for maximum efficiency

18. 2. TOWER PARKING
Minimal land use. An area of 7mx7m can park up to 50 vehicles. Low noise and
vibration. Elevators never touch guide rails, use of urethane rollers minimize
noise when transferring pallets from elevator to storage Entry and exit is very
quick and convenient. We incorporate a built in turntable on the elevator and
retrieval time is less than two minutes. Completely equipped with multiple
sensors and triple safety devices. A self malfunction diagnostic control provides
you with an excellent level of safety. Has the capability of holding cue memory
when multiple patrons come to retrieve there vehicles during rush hours. The
elevator type often called the Parking Tower, is designed to automatically move
the vehicles on a pallet vertically on the elevator, it then transfers it horizontally
left or right for storage. Very fast retrieval time is accomplished in less than two
minutes. This system is suitable for medium or large scale buildings. It can also
be used as a stand alone tower for a parking garage business. Since it is
controlled by an integrated computer system, the overall operation can be viewed
with one screen and its operation is very user friendly. We incorporate German
motors and components are used in every system by world known SEW
Eurodrive.

20. 3.SQUARE PARKING.
With eight times the space efficiency of a ramped garage, this system can use
the narrow basement spaces to its maximum capacity. Up to six levels can be
equipped with this new technology With the adoption of the high speed lifting
mechanism, the elevating speed has become very quick, thereby significantly
shortening the time required for entering and leaving With our upper entrance
design, it is convenient because the built-in turntable allows for easy entry and
exit. After entering the vehicle in the parking garage, the parking system is
designed to move the vehicles vertically with elevators on each end. The garage
consists of several levels where the vehicles are moved horizontally which rotate
the pallets in conjunction with the elevators. The multi floor circulation type is
suitable for small and mid-sized buildings because of its high space efficiency.

22. 4 Puzzle Parking in 2.3, or 5 HIGH versions
Independent parking The top layer pallets can move up and down lower layer pallets
can move either left to right or up and down. Max time to retrive cars is 60 sec with
2& 3 high systems and 90 sec with 4& 5 High systems PLC control. easy
operation, push button lifting with chain at 2& 3 highs and steel cables at 4& 5 High
systems Built in drop protection, prevents failure and accidents. photoelectric
checking system which controls vehicle size Emergency stop pushbutton Steel
construction with complete galvanization Safe operation, low maintenance

24. WORKING
The initial condition for the lift is at ground. At the ground controller always check for
the car to park and to retrieve car. Car Parking Parking process starts with the car
enters in the slot. Each floor consist of two sensors, upper extreme& lower extreme
to set/stop the position of the lift A display is provided at the ground floor which is
basically a counter that displays number of cars in each floor. It informs whether the
floors are fully filled with the cars or is it having place in a particular floor or
not. There is facility of lift to carry the car to up and down. Movement ofLift is
controlled by stepper motor. When the lift reaches the first floor, the processor
compares the filled amount to that of the already fed capacity of that floor, and if it
finds that the first floor is fully filled, it goes to the second floor and thus the
procedure stops here. As soon as a car is placed in a particular floor, the display
counter at the ground floor increments as to indicate the floor capacity has decreased
by one. After the lift places the car in a particular floor, it comes back to its normal
position and that time, the motor that drives it also stops. When a person needs to
come down from a particular floor to ground floor, he is expected to focus the
headlight onto the LDR placed in that floor. Now sensor section sends signal to
motor that the lift has to be send back to that particular floor and sends a signal to
glow RED LED indicating that the lift is busy. As soon as the lift reaches that
particular floor car should come inside the lift, the display counter at the ground floor
decrements by one as to indicate the floor capacity has increased by one. Lift comes
back to its normal position and the that time, motor that drives it, also stops.

25. LITERATURE REVIEW
This article by Smith and Roth(2003), talks about how advanced Car Park techniques
are being implemented using the SMS services available on cellular phones. It
describes how useful these advanced car parking systems are in providing drivers with
information about the structure of the car park system and the spaces available for
them to park their cars.
The availability of the vacant parking spaces is calculated by means of sensors
installed in the parking areas, which count the number of cars that enter and exit from
the parking space. Also, the number of parking tickets issued at the ticket counter can
be used to calculate the vacant spaces. All this information from the sensors and the
ticket counters is used to update a central database which stores all the information
about the areas of the parking space which is vacant or occupied. Smith and
Roth(2003) also compare the parking techniques used at various airports in the United
States. Among these, the notable ones are Houston International airport and the
Baltimore airport at Massachusetts. The parking spaces at Houston international
airport have wires embedded at the entry. exits and the various levels of the parking
lots. These wires act as sensors and record the entry and exit of the card to update
the central database. At the Baltimore airport, there are ultrasonic sensors at the top
of each parking space which sense the availability or unavailability of each
space. These sensors update the central database. Information from this central
database is used to display information at the"way-find" signs at the end of each row
of the parking area and advise the drivers whether parking space is available or
unavailable in that particular row These advanced car park systems also provide
advanced, electronic payment options for the customers. The idea behind these
electronic payment options is to
prevent the customers from having to wait in long queues to but a ticket. "Queues can
cause congestion in areas within and outside ofparking facilities[1]. Smith and
Roth(2003). in their article, cite examples of mobile parking or"m- parking" facilities
that are being used in Vienna(Austria) and Melbourne(Australia). Under the m-parking
technology, customers initially register their mobile number, the license plate number
of the car and their credit card number with the car park authorities, to create what is

26. called a"virtual parking ticket account 12l. This completes the initial, one-time
registration process. Whenever the customer needs to park, they would send an SMS
text message to the number provided by the car park authorities. The SMS message
would consist of the license plate number of the car, the location code of the parking
area where they want to park and the time duration(in minutes) for which the customer
wants to park. In return, the customer would then receive a text message from the car
park message centre, with the confinmation and the expiry time of their electronic
parking ticket. The customer would be sent a reminder SMS, 10 minutes before the
parking time expires. The bill for the parking ticket would come up on the customer's
mobile bill Thus, these advanced car park techniques provide the car parking
authorities as well as the customers with the following advantages(Smith and
Roth, 2003) Reduction in time spent and fuel consumed while searching for available
parking space. in congestion due to fewer cars driving around searching for Reduction
Elimination of queues entering parking facilities because drivers will not go to a facility
where there is no available space. Reduction in illegally parked vehicles. vy Rene
