Automatic Parking System Using Arduino
With urbanization and the increasing number of vehicles, parking has become a significant challenge in cities worldwide.
An automatic parking system can optimize parking space usage and make parking more convenient.
Parking management is a growing concern in urban areas with the increasing number of vehicles. Efficient parking systems can help maximize space usage, reduce congestion, and provide convenience to users. In this project, we'll create an automatic parking system using Arduino, which utilizes IR/ultrasonic sensors to detect vehicle presence in parking slots and displays the slot status on an LCD screen.
Components Required
To build this project, you'll need the following components:
Arduino Uno🛒: The brain of the project, which processes sensor data and controls the display.
IR Sensors – 4 units🛒: These sensors detect the presence of vehicles by measuring the distance to an object.
LCD Display (16x2) 🛒: Displays the status of parking slots.
Breadboard and Jumper Wires🛒: For making connections between components.
Resistors (1k ohm)🛒: Used in the circuit for proper current flow.
Power Supply🛒: To power the Arduino and connected components.
How It Works
The automatic parking system operates as follows:
Detection: Each parking slot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor that measures the distance to the nearest object (e.g., a car).
Processing: The Arduino collects data from the sensors and determines if a slot is occupied or empty based on the measured distance.
Display: The status of each parking slot (occupied or empty) is displayed on the LCD screen, providing real-time information to users

Conclusion
Building an automatic parking system using Arduino is a practical and rewarding project that introduces you to the world of sensors, microcontrollers, and displays. This system can be expanded by adding more ultrasonic sensors to monitor additional parking slots or integrated with a network to provide remote monitoring capabilities.
