Car Parking System Using IR Sensors

Abstract

Parking spaces are very important in metropolitan cities. Since the number of car buyers have substantially
increased in these years. Therefore there is a urgent need to develop a system that will manage the car parking. In
short there is a need I to develop a system which directly indicates which lane is vacant. So this paper’s objective is
to develop a system to indicate the vacant lane in the parking slots. This involves a system that includes infrared
transmitter and receiver in every lane and a led display outside the car parking gate. Parking slots are monitored by
the staff of the concerned authority. All vehicles which enter into the parking that leads to waste of time slot.
Sometimes it leads to blockage. Condition worsens when there are lanes consisting of multiple parking slots. Use of
automated system for car parking monitoring will reduce the human efforts. So a display unit is installed on entrance
of parking lot which will show status for all parking slots and for all parking lanes. Empty slot is indicated by the
respective glowing LED.
