G10: Car Parking System - shalan/CSCE4301-WiKi GitHub Wiki
Project Idea
We propose an embedded based car parking system that presents a solution to better organize and monitor the free and occupied parking spaces and reduce the parking traffics and time wastages.
The car parking system proposes pre-booking of parking slots at the entrance. To clarify, the available, occupied and booked parking slots are shown on a screen in the entrance, and the driver gets to choose one of the available slots to book through a message sent by his/her phone. The MCU is connected to a Bluetooth module that receives this booking and changes the chosen slot from ‘available’ to ‘reserved’ on the screen, and once the driver parks the car; the slot will be displayed as ‘occupied’. All the parking slots are provided with IR sensors that detect whether each slot is occupied or not and sends this information to the MCU on a real-time basis so it always displays accurate data.
