Using sensors, it detects vacant slots and displays their availability on an LCD screen via I2C communication. This system optimizes parking resource utilization, reducing congestion and enhancing user convenience. With its simple yet effective design, it showcases the application of electronics in addressing everyday challenges like parking management. Objectives 1. Efficient Space Utilization: Develop a system capable of accurately detecting vacant parking slots using sensors to optimize space occupancy and reduce congestion. 2. Real-time Monitoring: Implement a mechanism to continuously monitor parking availability and update the information displayed on the LCD screen in real-time via I2C communication. 3. User-Friendly Interface: Design an intuitive interface on the LCD screen to clearly present parking availability information, making it easy for users to identify vacant slots. 4. Reliable Operation: Ensure the reliability and robustness of the system by minimizing false detections to maintain accurate and consistent performance. Circuit Diagram Components and their Uses 1. Ultrasonic Sensors(HC-SR04): Used for detecting the presence of vehicles in parking slots. 2. Microcontroller (Arduino): Controls the overall operation of the system, processes sensor data, and manages communication with the LCD screen. 3.LCD Display (with I2C module): Displays real-time information about the availability of parking slots. 4.I2C Communication Protocol: Facilitates communication between the microcontroller and the LCD display, enabling seamless data transfer. 5.Power Supply: Provides the necessary electrical power to operate the system. 6.Resistors: Used for circuit protection, signal conditioning, and stability. 7.Connecting Wires: Used for interconnecting the various components and establishing electrical connections. Working 1.Vehicle Detection: The ultrasonic sensor is placed at the entrance of each parking space. When a vehicle enters, the sensor detects its presence by measuring the distance to the vehicle. 2.Display Information: The Arduino processes the sensor data and updates the LCD display to indicate whether the parking space is vacant or occupied. 3.Barrier Control: If the parking space is vacant, the Arduino sends a signal to the servo motor to open the barrier, allowing the vehicle to enter. If the space is occupied, the barrier remains closed. 4. User Interface: The LCD display provides real-time information to drivers, showing available parking spaces and guiding them to empty spots. Features and Benefits Features: • Real time parking slot display: Displays the number of available parking slots on an LCD screen in real-time, aiding drivers in decision-making. • Arduino Integration: Enables seamless communication between ultrasonic sensors, LCD display, and the Arduino board for efficient operation Benefits: • Improved Parking Efficiency: Enables drivers to quickly identify available parking spaces, reducing time spent searching for parking and minimizing traffic. • Enhanced User Experience: Enhances convenience for drivers by providing real- time updates on parking availability, improving overall satisfaction with the parking experience Future Scope 1. Solar-Powered Solution: Make the system run on sunlight, saving energy and being eco-friendly, contributing to a greener environment. 2. Wireless Charging: Enable cars to charge wirelessly while parked, making it convenient for electric vehicle users and promoting sustainability. 3. Smartphone Integration: Allow users to control parking and payments through their smart phones, making the process easier and more accessible. 4. Safety Sensors: Install sensors to detect obstacles and pedestrians, ensuring safety and preventing accidents in parking areas. 5. Voice Command Functionality: Implement voice commands for parking operations, making it hands-free and user-friendly, especially for drivers with limited mobility. Conclusion In conclusion, the Smart Parking System offers an effective solution for optimizing parking space utilization through basic electronics. By accurately detecting and displaying vacant parking slots on an LCD screen using I2C communication, the system enhances user convenience and reduces congestion. Its reliable operation and intuitive interface underscore its practical application in addressing modern-day parking management challenges.
