Abstract
— The proposed work implements a 8 bit controller based multi-storey car parking system. This work aimed to make the current vehicle parking technique increasingly advantageous, easy to use, programmed and least human mediation. The central part of this system is a 8 bit microcontroller which takes care of parking and exit of vehicles. There are totally 3 floors (floor 0, 1 and 2) each containing 8 slots (slot 0 to slot 7) for parking of cars. Cars are carried to the available free slots in any floor by means of 2 motors controlled by the P89v51rd2(8051 microcontroller). LCD displays the user instructions, messages and status of the system at different conditions. Keypad is provided for entering parking or taking out option. One IR sensor is used to detect the floor number by sensing the IR signal from the IR transmitters located in each floor. The user is provided with the facility of pre-booking or reservation of slots using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).
