Abstract—The existing parking system requires manual support for control-

ling and monitoring vehicles. The motive of this system is to find out appropri-
ate solution of parking related issues in different aspects. The proposed system
can be control the vehicle parking system in shopping malls, Theatres, outdoor
stadiums etc. The proposed system consists of two levels of parking for vehi-
cles, where each level has limit of 100. In this proposed parking control system
IR sensors will detect and count the number of vehicles on arrival and guided to
enter into the vacant parking levels accordingly. This system is designed with
automatic lighting and fire detection facility.

Keywords—IR sensor, Parking System, Automatic lighting.

1 Introduction

From past few years the vehicular parking system is controlling and monitoring
[4]-[7] manually. Humans use to move physically in the parking [1] area to provide
space for the entering and leaving vehicles and also to switch on and off lights in
those areas. Today’s human being life cycle is busy and they are not following stand-
ard system to check for parking spaces. The objective of the proposed system is to
control the operation and to monitor the progress of the process itself. With the ad-
vancement of new electronic technologies combining with older building techniques.

2 Proposed System

The proposed parking system is very efficient which doesn’t require manpower, so
the system name as Unmanned Parking System. The proposed system consists of two
levels of parking system; these two levels are connected to Lab VIEW [3]-[8] myRio
software as the main controller for these systems. The parking system is implemented
using NI-Lab VIEW [4]-[8]. The target system is myRIO. The different levels of
parking system [1] are designed using IR sensors to detect and count the number of
vehicles on arrival and guided to enter into the vacant parking levels accordingly. The
system basically consists two levels of parking the vehicles, where each level has
limit of 100 vehicles. Once the vehicle enters in to the main gate at that time the first
IR sensor will detect the vehicle and check the count of the particular level. If the

level 1 count value is less than 100 then vehicle directed to level (L1). The lights in
the level (L1) will switch on. Whenever any vehicle leaves the level (L1) the IR sen-
sor will detect it and opens the exit gate1 also decreases level 1 count value and opens
the gate for further vehicle parking into level (L1). By detecting full count in level1
vehicles will be diverted automatically to enter into next level i.e., level (L2). The IR
sensor in level (L2) detects vehicle and starts increasing the level 2 count value for
each detection and also lights in level (L2) will switch on. If any vehicle [2] leaves the
level (L2) it will be detected by IR sensor at exit gate 2 and gate will be opened.
When any one of the exit sensor is detected the main exit gate will be opened and
when all level counts becomes zero then automatically main exit gate will be closed.
This process can be repeated for number of levels. The parking system is also provid-
ed with alert system. Whenever smoke sensor [8] detects fire or smoke then buzzer
will ring alerting everyone in the parking area. This proposed parking system [5] is
designed with three smoke sensors connected in each level. All the levels entry gates
and exit gates are represented with LEDS. Two level parking system is designed us-
ing IR sensors [6], Fire sensor and buzzer.

2.2 IR TX and RX
An infrared sensor is an electronic device which is used to sense light wavelength
of its surroundings by either emitting or detecting infrared spectrum. It is also capable

of measuring the heat being emitted by an object and detecting motion. LED will
glow with respect to the IR sensor [6] detection. Every IR sensor has a transmitter and
a receiver. Figure 2 shows IR Transmitter & Receiver. For every transmitter and re-
ceiver, there are total two registers and one more register is present to maintain volt-
age of LED that will show the status of parking slot to customers. When the IR does
not detect any object in front of it, it returns the value TRUE, meaning HIGH volt
output from the sensor [8] and FALSE for when a object is detected meaning LOW
volt output.

2.3 Fire sensor

Fire sensor is used to sense fire generated in various levels of parking system. The
fire sensor circuit will be operating at a voltage of 3.3V to 5Vcc. This sensor is capable
of detecting fire up to 1meter distance and the fire source wavelength detection range
is 760nm – 1100 nm. The sensor circuit consists of a high speed and high sensitive
NPN silicon phototransistor and LM393 [6] chipset in comparator. The Analog output
pin is interfaced with myRio. The following figure 3 shows Fire sensor.

2.4 Buzzer
A buzzer is a small compact 2-pin audio signaling device. The longer terminal lead
is a positive applied with 6V DC. Figure 4 shows buzzer [6]. The shorter terminal
lead is a negative typically connected to ground.

The proposed parking system consists of 3 IR Sensors; each sensor analog output
is connected each sensor output is connected to myRio as shown in figure 5, the Ana-
log Input pins are A/AI0 (pin3), B/AI0 (pin3) and B/AI3 (pin9).

3.3 Interfacing of Buzzer

The proposed parking system consists of 3 buzzers, each sensor output is connect-
ed to myRio as shown in figure 7, the Digital Output pins are A/DIO1 (pin13),
A/DIO6 (pin23) and A/DIO2 (pin15). The fire sensor output is received by myRio
and compared with the threshold value; if the output is greater than threshold then
buzzer will ring.

4 Proposed system Description

The figure 9 shows proposed unmanned parking system using Lab view myRio [3]
consists of IR sensors [6], Fire sensor [6] and buzzer. The system consists of two
levels of parking each with limit of 100 vehicles. On detection of every vehicle [2]
level count gets incremented, if the count value is less than 100 then the vehicle is
directed in to that level for parking [1]. If any vehicle leaves the parking area then exit
gate will be opened and level count is decreased.

5 Result

After the successful connection, the data from sensors are sent to Lab view for
monitoring of the system. The figure 10 shows the Front Panel of Unmanned Parking
System, which provides monitoring [7] and controlling of vehicles in parking system
[2] in shopping malls, theatres, outdoor stadiums etc.

6 Conclusion

The proposed system is designed for two levels of parking each with 100 vehicles.
The number of levels and the number of vehicles can be further extended depending
on requirement. This system can be extended to generate automatic bill depending on
vehicle entry and exit time, used for malls, theatres etc. When fire is detected using
fire sensor, the GSM technique can be used to send messages to police and fire engine
people for rescue operation.
