Parking Automation

In this instructable we show you how an automatic parking works

Step 1: Description

This project is a model of a real parking, with Arduino microcontroller.

How does it work?

When the sensor detects a car, the servo starts and the bar rotates.

The LCD indicates the number of available parking spaces:

· when a car enters the parking, the microcontroller decreases the number of available parking spaces.

· When a car exits the parking, the microcontroller increases the number of available parking spaces.

The traffic light is green in case of available parking spaces; otherwise it’s red.

When the parking is full, its access is interdicted.

Step 2: Shopping List

· n° 1 Arduino UNO R3
