A Design of Automated Car Parking Control System

Abstract

An Automated Parking System (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parking garage, an APS provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically to maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. This thesis concern about an automated parking system for vehicles for minimizing area in used of car parking in buildings or civilian areas which could be very crowded of cars and drivers who waits hours and hours to searching for a car parking during the work time. So this work is to designed an automated elevator car parking system of which controlled by a microcontroller chip (Atmega 16) and connected with an Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor and keypad for entering parking number e.g. (1.2.3.) So it is a three levels of parking system all of them controlled by a preprogrammed microcontroller system to facilitate a car parking operation. According to practical results, the proposal system gives better performance.
