Smart Parking Space Indicator with Security Facility and Energy Saving

This project work is done in order to overcome the problem of parking in city. We live in modern world where maximum people uses cars and in upcoming time the rate of cars that need is also increasing. So there is traffic in parking area due to maximum cars enters in parking area. To overcome this problem, we are working on this project. We are using sensors and latest technology to solve this problem. The sensors are using for allocation of space for parking of car. We have to program for this project. We keep in mind about energy saving and try to save energy in project as possible. The Arduino is integrated with IR sensor to work for detection of empty space for parking. We use motion sensors to save energy. Light operates when cars or person enters in second floor of parking area So that energy is saved in our project. There is heavy rush in parking area. This project helps to reduce traffic in parking area. At first we were using Arduino Uno but due to the limited amount of pins for connection and future expansion we decided to use Arduino MEGA for this project. We have also added Stepper motor on entrance and exit which are operated using two IR sensors each. When a car enters the parking lot the first IR sensor senses it and commands stepper motor to open the gate and when the car is going inside the parking lot the second IR sensor senses it and commands stepper motor to close the gate. We have also added the second floor for the customers who are parking their cars for long term parking. If there is no movement on the second floor there is a motion sensor if there is no movement then the motion sensor will not detect the motion and it will cut off the supply on second floor.
