ABSTRACT
The aim of this project is to project is to automate the car
and the car parking as well. It discusses a project which
presents a miniature model of an automated car parking
system that can regulate and manage the number of cars
that can be parked in a given space at any given time based
on the availability of parking spot.

What is smart Parking System
Smart parking system is an integrated system to organize cars in public parks.
The system will be used for every slot in park.
.The motivation of this project is to help drivers. And make the payment way easier
System Unit
.Every spot in the parking lot will contain the main unit
Our unit consist of:
•Arduino
•IR sensor
•RFID Card Reader.
•LCD
•Servo Motor
Arduino
Arduino is an open hardware development board that can be used by
tinkerers, hobbyists, and makers to design and build devices that interact
with the real world. While Arduino refers to a specific type of board
design, it can also be used to refer to a company which manufactures a
specific implementation of these boards, and is typically also used to
describe the community around compatible boards made by other
people or companies which function in a similar way.
 Arduino uno is used in Do-it Yourself project prototyping.
 In developing projects based on code-based control
 Developing of Automation System
 Designing of basic circuit designs.
IR Sensor
An infrared sensor is an electronic device, that emits in order
to sense some aspects of the surroundings. An IR sensor can
measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion.
These types of sensors measure only infrared radiation, rather
than emitting it that is called a passive IR sensor. Usually, in
the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some form of
thermal radiation.
RFID Card
RFID is an acronym for “radio-frequency
identification” and refers to a technology
whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags or
smart labels (defined below) are captured by a
reader via radio waves. RFID is similar to
barcoding in that data from a tag or label are
captured by a device that stores the data in a
database. RFID, however, has several advantages
over systems that use barcode asset tracking
software. The most notable is that RFID tag data
can be read outside the line-of-sight, whereas
barcodes must be aligned with an optical
scanner.
LCD
The term LCD stands for liquid crystal display. It is one kind of
electronic display module used in an extensive range of
applications like various circuits & devices like mobile phones,
calculators, computers, TV sets, etc. These displays are mainly
preferred for multi-segment light-emitting diodes and seven
segments.
Servo Motor
Servo motors or “servos”, as they are known, are electronic
devices and rotary or linear actuators that rotate and push
parts of a machine with precision. Servos are mainly used on
angular or linear position and for specific velocity, and
acceleration. Companies heavily use servo motors because of
how compact and potent it is. Despite its size, it generates
quite the amount of power and is known to be incredibly
energy-efficient.
System Unit
The system will detect the existence of a car in the slot using sensors.
the system will use RFID reader for automatic payment.
The system also will use a display for the interaction with the user

Car detection.
The detection of a car is done by using the ir sensor. We use two ir sensor for detection.
We have to take in mind that the system will not consider a moving body as a car, so one sensor
will not be enough, we have to detect the existence of the car from different points and
distances.
Car detection
There are things we considered when using more than one IR sensor:
1) Collision and interference between the IR sensors.
The reading of the two sensors at this way will not affect each other.

2) Timing between multiple readings for the sensors.
Since we can't read the two sensor at the same time, we read them one after another. The time
between the two readings is very small less than one second, so if there's a car detected by one
sensor then it will be detected by the other one.
Problems
Detection a car not a moving object:
• This is solved by using more than one IR sensor to detect from different points and distances.
• Also by using delay and multiple readings to ensure that there is a car.
Objectives
Smart Parking involves the use of low cost sensors, real-time data and applications that allow users to monitor
available and unavailable parking spots. The goal is to automate and decrease time spent manually searching for
the optimal parking floor, spot and even lot. Some solutions will encompass a complete suite of services such as
online payments, parking time notifications and even car searching functionalities for very large lots. A parking
solution can greatly benefit both the user and the lot owner.
Optimized parking – Users find the best spot available, saving time, resources and effort. The parking lot fills up
efficiently and space can be utilized properly by commercial and corporate entities.
Reduced traffic – Traffic flow increases as fewer cars are required to drive around in search of an open parking
space.
Reduced pollution – Searching for parking burns around one million barrels of oil a day. An optimal parking
solution will significantly decrease driving time, thus lowering the amount of daily vehicle emissions and ultimately
reducing the global environmental footprint.
Increased Safety – Parking lot employees and security guards contain real-time lot data that can help
prevent parking violations and suspicious activity. License plate recognition cameras can gather
pertinent footage.
Also, decreased spot-searching traffic on the streets can reduce accidents caused by the distraction of
searching for parking.
Decreased Management Costs – More automation and less manual activity saves on labour cost and
resource exhaustion.
Enhanced User Experience – A smart parking solution will integrate the entire user experience into a
unified action. Driver’s payment, spot identification, location search and time notifications all
seamlessly become part of the destination arrival process.
Future Work
1. We can add a GPS module to store the location for every unit.
2. Adding other IR sensor would be more efficient.
3. Also we can implement ways for the payment. For example connect the payment with the
bank account for the user.
4. And to make our project more useful in our countries, we could integrate our system with
the ordinary way of payment.
Conclusion
What is smart parking system?
Our Arduino smart parking system project is planned to be find the empty spot in parking lot
more easily with less time.
Also our project implement most of the functionalities needed in a parking lot
