Multi Stage Car Parking System in a building

ABSTRACT:
One of the most important aspects of the transportation system is the accommodation of stationary motor vehicles: parking provision and its quality is crucial to the overall performance of the road, transport system. Unfortunately the failure in many communities to meet parking demand results in the development of several problems. Slow moving cars whose drivers are searching for parking places and drivers who do not know all possible alternatives regarding the best choice of car park or time of travel are common problems faced in urban road networks. Increased drivers stress and journey times, costs and energy consumption are frequent consequences.
In order to avoid these adverse effects we propose a multi stage car parking system in a private building using 8051 microcontroller, light sensors, seven segment display unit and motors, utilizing the concept of embedded systems. This system senses the car requiring parking slot, finds an empty slot in the parking building and transports the car to the appropriate slot through an automatic lift. In this way the problems of traffic jam and time delays are solved with implementation of separate building for parking.
