Abstract
The system proposed in this paper provides an effective solution in finding the vacant space and manages the vehicles entering in and out of parking area. The system consists of Arduino Uno, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Servo motor and Infrared (IR) Sensors. Two IR Sensors placed just before and after the entrance of the gate which detects the motion of the vehicle either entering or leaving the gate or slot area. The Arduino Uno, a microcontroller counts the number of available slots based on the entry or exit of the vehicle and the state of each slot i.e., either the slot is empty or full and provides a feedback which is displayed on the LCD. This whole process makes the system fully automated and thus provides a solution for vehicle parking in a smart way. The proposed automated system causes the driver to navigate in reaching to the vacant slot using display thus reduces search time. The proposed system can be implemented at places where heavy number of vehicles needs to be parked.
