Report On Multile Level Car Parking System

CHAPTER1: INTRODUCTION
Automatic Multilevel Car Parking System
1.1
Introduction
In todays world the vehicle parking is becoming a big problem. As population is
increasing, number of vehicles is also increasing but the area to park vehicle is not increasing.
And this create big problem to vehicles like car and mini vans for parking. People end up
parking cars on roads which further leads to traffic jam. Multi-storied car parking system will
help in parking large number of cars in smaller parking land.
Automatic Car Parking System enables the parking of vehicles, floor after floor and
thus reducing the space used. Such a system is proposed and designed in this project. In
places where more than 100 cars need to be parked, this system proves to be useful in
reducing wastage of space. Here any number of cars can be parked according to the
requirement. These makes the system modernized and thus space-saving one. This idea is
developed using 8051 microcontroller. Car parking issue has some problems with how to
control the number of the car inside it, how to monitor the movement in/out side of the
parking lot, how to check whether there is a place inside for more cars or not and the safety to
park. The aim of this project is to solve these problems by designing a system to control the
parking area using a microcontroller. The microcontroller serves as a programming tool to
run the whole operation, to reduce the cost in terms of requirement such as job opportunity
and to increase security. Moreover, this system is faster, flexible and can meet market needs.
Human errors are the major source of traffic accidents, therefore building in-car
technologies for checking the parking lot, avoiding accidents and guidance to the parking
facility is turning out to be an integral area for research. The objective of such technologies is
the reduction of the burden on driver, improvement of the traffic capacity, and provision of
reliable and secure car functions [3].
Criteria for the quality multi storey car parks are:
Safety in use
Clear visibility
Parking-space marking to enable drivers to remember the location of their vehicles
Clear views to the outside
Good natural lighting and ventilation.

Parking Issues in India
India has more than 40 million vehicles. But the traffic on roads and parking space has
been an area of concern in majority of Indian cities. In most of the cases, 40 per cent of the
road space is used for parking rather than for traffic movement on a normal working day.
With affordable cars launching in the market, almost every middle-class family owns a car
which adds to the vehicular population in our country. If this trend is followed, no amount of
space will be enough to accommodate stationary vehicles, which will lead to narrower lanes
for movement of public transport. Indian cities face a severe problem of congestion due to the
runaway growth of personal vehicles. Traffic management in the many cities is marked by
the introduction of a series of one-way traffic systems, which have implications on pedestrian
safety and fuel consumption.
One-way traffic is generally desirable only when complementary roads are available and
the additional traveling distance is not more than 300 meters as per IRC. This ensures that
whenever such systems are introduced, the interests of public transport modes and
pedestrians are duly addressed. Demand for parking in the CBD areas of Indian cities is
twice the supply. Acute shortage of parking supply is seen in commercial areas;
indiscriminate parking impedes the free flow of traffic and causes accidents.
Figure 1-1: Parking problems
The present situation in some areas of Indian cities is such that the demand for parking is
twice the supply. Shortage of parking hinders the free flow of traffic and can also lead to
accidents. It also causes air pollution, traffic jam and driver frustration. Some of the reasons
for parking problems are:
Low parking prices
Weak implementation of parking regulations
Number of vehicles is rising day by day
The footpaths are not properly constructed so walking environment is not

comfortable. Hence prosperous vehicle owners do not prefer parking their vehicles
three or four meters away.
Vehicle owners are not willing to pay the parking amount and often end up parking on
the streets so building space for parking can seem like a waste.
So to avoid all these problems, researchers recently have turned to applying technologies
for efficient parking management(Joshi, Khan, & Motiwalla, 2012)
[4]
.These technologies
have helped in solving the parking problems to a great extent. Different technologies are
applied at different places according to the parking environment and the type of parking
requirement in that area.
Figure 1-2: Parking Issues in India
1.3
Parking Solutions Already Prevalent in India

It is used for optimum utilisation of parking space by utilizing vertical space rather
than horizontal space. The growing population and the increase in vehicles have made the
plots expensive and hence the conventional parking has become non-feasible. Car ramps
also consume a lot of space therefore mechanized car parking systems prove to be feasible.
Multi-level car parking system (MLCPS) has a number of advantages over the conventional
parking system.
1.4
Types of other Parking Solution Currently Available
1.4.1
On street parking
On street parking means the vehicles are parked on the sides of the street itself. This will be
usually controlled by government agencies itself. Common types of on-street parking are as
listed below. As per IRC the standard dimensions of a car is taken as 5 2.5 m and that for a
truck is 3.75 7.5 m.
Figure 1-3: On Street Parking

1.4.2 Off street parking
Off street parking means vehicles are parked off the street itself.
Figure 1-4: Off Street Parking

1.4.3 Parallel parking

The vehicles are parked along the length of the road. Here there is no backward movement of
involved while parking or un parking the vehicle. Hence, it is the most safest parking from
the accident perspective. However, it consumes the maximum curb length and therefore only
a minimum number of vehicles can be parked for a given kerbed length. This method of
parking produces least obstruction to the on-going track on the road since least road width is
used.
Figure 1-5: Parallel Parking

1.4.3.1 30o parking
In thirty degree parking, the vehicles are parked at 30o with respect to the roinad alignment.
In this case, more vehicles can be parked compared to parallel parking. Also there is better
maneuver-ability. Delay caused to the track is also minimum in this type of parking.
1.4.3.2 45oparking
As the angle of parking increases, more number of vehicles can be parked. Hence compared
to parallel parking and thirty degree parking, more number of vehicles can be accommodated
in this type of parking.
1.4.3.3 60oparking
The vehicles are parked at 60o to the direction of road. More number of vehicles can be
accommodated in this parking type.
1.4.3.4 Right angle parking

In right angle parking or 90o parking, the vehicles are parked perpendicular to the direction of
the road. Although it consumes maximum width kerbed length required is very little. In this
type of parking, the vehicles need complex maneuvering and this may cause severe accidents.
This arrangement causes obstruction to the road track particularly if the road width is less.
However, it can accommodate maximum number of vehicles for a given kerbed length. It can
be above the ground, underground or both above and underground. The above ground
structures are open-deck parking structures.
1.4.4 Automated Multilevel Parking
It is a building (or part there hereof) which is designed specifically to be for Automobile
Parking and where there are a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.Is
essentially a Stacked Car Park Multilevel Car Park Term Originated in UK, in US it is
called a Parking Structure.
Figure 1-6: Automatic Multilevel Parking

So these are the different car parking systems that are available in India. And of them the
automatic multilevel car parking system is beneficial as compared to all the car parking
available.
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1
Literature Survey
help in parking large number of cars in smaller parking land. Automatic Car Parking System
enables the parking of vehicles, floor after floor and thus reducing the space used.
There are different types of Automatic Multilevel Car Parkings available in India.
Independent access parking systems
Dependent access parking systems
Multi-storey car park
Fully Automated car parking
Independent access parking systems:

This system allows vehicle access without a valet. The Lift-Sliding Parking System
allows drivers to retrieve their own vehicles, after which another car slides over to take its
place while a mechanical car lift brings up another car[6] .
Figure 2-1: Independent access parking systems
Dependent access parking systems:

This system requires a human attendant (usually a valet). The parking system stacks
two, three, or four vehicles in an area usually occupied by a single car. A trained operator
uses the Lift-Sliding Parking System to raise the vehicle on a mechanical car lift, which
creates an additional space for another vehicle to be stored below. This process is repeated
until the system reaches capacity. To retrieve a vehicle, the operator removes the vehicle
below (at grade position) in order to lower the mechanical car lift and return the stacked
vehicle requested. Fully-automatic system and semi-automatic comes under this category.
Figure 2-2: Dependent access parking systems
Multi-storey car park:
A multi-storey car park , also called a parking garage, parking structure, parking ramp, or
parking deck is a structure designed Specifically for automobile parking where there are a
number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. It is essentially a stacked car park.
The Multi-storey car parking system can either be fully automatic or semi-automatic and are
suitable for installation in basement and in open spaces outside commercial building,
residential building, shopping malls, restaurants and hotels etc. The unique feature of this
system is that it maximizes the number of cars parked in a given floor space substantially.
Figure 2-3: Multi-storey car park

10
Fully Automated car parking:
Automated Car Parking System is a fully computer controlled mechanism
[5]
which
becomes user friendly as it ensures maximum utilization of space allowing the machines to
park the car in the allocated space. Fully automated parking systems use auto car lifts. They
are designed for high density parking. These parking systems allow for virtually unlimited
stacking capacity and provide fully integrated storage and retrieval functionality. The system
allows the driver to drive up to a Park and Drive Station. After the driver exits the vehicle, a
robotic shuttle transports the vehicle onto the Vehicle Transfer Center, which then transfers
the car to a designated parking stall. Whether the retrieval of vehicles is faster in an automatic
car park or a self park car park depends on the layout and number of exits.
Figure 2-4: Fully Automated car parking

In order to accommodate the large volume of vehicles, small cities and towns must develop
their infrastructure. One solution may be a multi-level car parking system to maximize car
parking capacity by utilizing vertical space, rather than expand horizontally. With land in
metros and a grade cities becoming scarce and dearer, and plots getting smaller,
conventional parking is proving infeasible[6].
The term multi-level car park is used in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and many
Commonwealth of Nations countries. In the western United States, the term parking structure
is used especially when it is necessary to distinguish such a structure from the garage in a
house. In some places in North America, parking garage refers only to an indoor, often
11
underground, structure outdoor multi-level parking facilities are referred to by a number of

regional terms:
Parking garage-is used in the Western United States, Eastern Canada and by civil
engineers;
Parking deck-is used in the Southeast
Parking ramp- is used in the upper Midwest, especially Minnesota and Wisconsin, and
has been observed as far east as Buffalo, New York
Parked- is used in Canada and South Africa
Parking building- is used in New Zealand.
Architects and civil engineers in the USA are likely to call it a parking structure, since their
work is all about structures, and that term is the vernacular in some of the western United
States. When attached to a high-rise of another use, it is sometimes called a parking podium.
United States building codes use the term open parking structure to refer to a structure
designed for car storage (not repair) that has enough openings in the walls that it does not
need mechanical ventilation or fire sprinklers, as opposed to a parking garage that requires
mechanical ventilation or sprinklers but does not require openings in the walls. The openings
provide fresh air flow to disperse either car exhaust or fumes from a fire should one break out
within the structure
In todays time and age, vehicles are a predominant mode of
transportation. With rising number of vehicles and dwindling parking spaces, vehicles parked
along the road and even on sidewalks have become fairly common phenomena. With these
parked vehicles encroaching on road space and pedestrian space, traffic congestion and
accidents are inevitable. A well organized parking system which makes maximum use of
available space offers a solution to this situation.
There are two types of parking systems:
Traditional parking systems
Multistoried parking systems.
In Traditional parking systems, vehicles are parked in perpendicular or parallel fashion. With
no safety against the theft or protection against atmospheric conditions, it is not a space
efficient system either.
12
Figure 2-5: Traditional Parking System
Figure 2-6: Multistoried Parking System

Multistoried parking systems are preferred since they multiply parking capacity of a given
area. Various floors are present for parking the vehicles with ramps and staircases provided
for moving between floors. These types of systems are expensive to build and require
manpower for co-ordination. To make system automated and less expensive, stacking
systems are used. In these systems, lift is available for moving the vehicle from one floor to
another. As shown in fig 2-6, the system has three six floors divided into three columns with
middle column kept free for maneuvering cars. The actual parking of the car is controlled
manually by operator. This type of manual intervention may cause some faults.[10]
13
India being the second most populated country with a population of 1.2 billion and
counting, the transportation sector is in an alarming position. Parking vehicles is becoming a
nuisance each passing day forcing people to park their vehicles on roads, thus becoming the
major cause of traffic jams. Automatic multi level car parking system plays a vital role in
avoiding this mess and parking of more and more vehicles is made possible in an arranged
manner. This project aims at construction and designing of the micro controller based multi
level car parking system using IR sensors. This project consists of two IR receiver and
transmitter pair that controls the automatic gates and vehicle detection as it passes through it.
LCD display is used to display no of cars present and it will display message parking full if
no space is available in parking. When a vehicle enters the parking area, the sensors are
activated which open the gate automatically if the lift is free. The second sensor placed in the
lift aligns the lift properly on each floor. The lift takes the vehicle to the assigned floor and
the vehicle is deboarded from the lift section to the assigned parking space in the bay and the
empty lift returns to the entry point for assisting other incoming vehicles. In case the lift is
busy, a buzzer alarm alerts the customer wanting him to wait till the lift returns back to the
ground floor. The seven segment display used gives us the number of vehicles that have
entered the parking area. For car retrieving, the previously generated ID is entered by the
customer that alerts the microcontroller about the vehicle location (where it was parked
earlier) and automatically operates the lift to retrieve the vehicle from there and is brought to
the ground floor where the customer can drive away his car.[7]
The application of RFID technology in parking lots makes parking effective, convenient
and safe. The RFID system is used to park the cars automatically in the multilevel parking
area. The use of RFID tags, readers and antennas makes it easier to automate the 'in and out'
privileges of parking subscribers. Personnel costs will be reduced considerably using this
technology. It will be possible in the future to make unmanned, secure and atomized parkinglots functioning with RFID technology. There are several techniques present for collection of
data and information about any object.
Bar code technique

It is a data collection technique which contains a twelve digit manufacturing
identification number. It normally uses to speed up the checkout process & keep
better track of inventory. This system is useful at the departmental stores and bar
codes are placed on each item present in that store by UPC. It is a low cost technique,
14
but it is slower than RFID. Compared to bar codes in RFID, LOS is not required. Bar
codes are read only where as RFID is read/write.
NFC Technique
It is a subset of RFID, it works like a conventional RFID and provide more security
than both RFID and Bar codes. Its data rate is from 106kbits/s to 424kbits/s. But NFC
has limited range of communication to within centimeters or 2-4 inches. It is also not
possible to replace the manual nature of the check out process. Staff at the checkout
would still need to swipe each NFC tag just like they are doing it with Bar codes.
RFID Technique
RFID is a radio frequency identification system. This is an ADC technology. RFID
technology has inherited the advantages of the previous magnetic card, bar code,
contactless IC card. An RFID system consists of three components: an antenna and
transceiver (often combined into one reader) and a transponder (the tag). The antenna
uses radio frequency waves to transmit a signal that activates the transponder. When
activated, the tag transmits data back to the antenna. RFID can read the tag using RF,
meaning that the RFID tag can be read from a distance, right through your clothes,
wallet, backpack or purse. Besides the RFID tag consist of unique ID for each tag.
RFID system draws our attention for this purpose due to several useful features of it
such as non-line-of-sight operation, high speed detection, good transmission range
and performance in dense sensor environment.[8]
Figure 2-7: RFID system communication diagram

For the design of this system as discussed earlier an RFID tag and reader is used. According
to this, RFID Tags are installed in the cars. A door mount antenna is used to track the tag. A
reader is attached to this antenna, which reads the information coded in the tag. To get started
with RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system, the vehicle owner has to first register the
15
vehicle with the parking owner and get the RFID tag. When the car has to be parked, the
RFID tag is placed near the RFID reader which is installed near the entry gate of the parking
lot. As soon as the RFID tag is read by the reader, the system automatically verifies the
information data then car is allowed to go inside the parking area. At the same time, the
parking counter increments by one. Similarly, at the time of exit a button at the ground floor
will be manually pressed and parking counter will be decremented at the LCD screen. In this
project necessary precautions have been taken programmatically in case of a parking lot. If
the parking space is not available than further that vehicle which is about to check-in will not
be allowed to let in, thus there wont be any time loss to look for parking space.[9]
Automatic Car Parking System, we have built a system which will automatically sense the
entry and exit of cars through the gate and then display the number of cars on the LCD. In
this paper we have taken a model of eight number of car parking system. A microcontroller
has been used to sense the movement of cars and check whether there is a capacity for cars to
park
[11]
. We use two dc motors, one is for gate and other is for lifting the lifter carrying the
car. Gate is open when motor is rotated clockwise and closed when motor rotated in
anticlockwise. It is also possible to open a gate when any car enters in the parking lot or close
the door when a car exits from it. We use 8 Infra-red sensor, which are mounted as two on
each floor. We built a project with a Parking of two floor. Simultaneously, it will display the
number of cars present in the parking lot on a LCD screen and opens the gate if there is a
space for the car to park. When all the spaces are occupied then LCD displayed NO vacant
space and the gate is not open. The sensing of entry and exit of cars is done through infrared
transmitters and receivers. The infrared transmitter is mounted on one side and the receiver is
placed directly against the transmitter [12]. When a car arrives, the infrared beam is blocked by
the car and the receiver is devoid of infrared. message is sent to the microcontroller according
to it the car is parked. The procedure for the exit of cars is much similar to that of entry. We
use RFID card[13] and RFID card reader. Whenever the car get enter in the parking area it
must show the card to the card reader and detect the card. Then the gate is open car enter into
the parking area ,gate is closed after some delay.
Case 1: A lift mechanism is used to park the car on the first floor which is implemented using
motor. Motor is rotated clockwise it stops when it reaches on the first floor. A car is parked
on the first floor according to the priority basis.

Figure 2-8: When Space Is Available On First Floor

Case 2: When all the cars parked on the first floor as well as second floor i.e no space is
available, then it displays no space.[14]

required. Floor space for surface parking can be multiplied with 2 to 5 times, depending on
the height availability. This system reduces the construction cost and multiplies the no. of
car parking which helps in cost reduction. For example parking space for 8 cars can be used
for parking of 36 cars on a Puzzle System with height of 11 Mtrs. Widely used in basement
of buildings for multi level parking.

22
3.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR INDIAN

ENVIRONMENT
Out of all the automatic car parking systems the fully automatic car parking system is the best suited for
Indian environment because of following characteristics:
1. The car parking system should be multistoried to minimize the floor space required per car.
2. A lift has to be provided to take the car to upper stories
3. Two doors have to be provided in a car lift for entry and exit of vehicle.
4. LED and LCD display screen
[6]
on each floor will be provided to display data about the available
and non-available parking slots and in which direction that particular slot is situated.
5. Parking of car has to be takes place according to the priority in sequence i.e. from bottom to top [6].
Car should Parked at ground floor if slot is available, if not, the other floors are considered by
micro-controller from first to top in sequence.
6. Proximity sensors, motion sensors, load cell
[6]
etc. are used for accurate operation of parking,
retrieving, detection of empty slot etc.
3.3 Necessity of MLCPS:
Optimal utilization of space:

Mechanical car parking system is a method of parking and retrieving cars by using pallets and lifts.
It thus removes the need for lengthy drive ways and ramps, accommodating maximum cars in
minimum space
Can be constructed on minimum available space:

MLCPS is flexible enough to solve varied parking problems. It can be sited above or below the
ground or a combination of both and designed to accommodate any number of cars.
Lower construction cost:

MLCPS are cost effective in terms of construction cost. MLCPS are delivered pre-fabricated which
a2re assembled on site. As the system is operated automatically, added expenses of underground
parking such as building structure, providing lighting and security are avoided.
Low maintenance and operational cost:

Operating cost is low since mechanical car parking systems requires less energy to run. There is no
23
need for energy intensive ventilating systems as the cars are not being driven inside the parking lot.
Cladding can be specially selected to match the buildings facade.
Safety of vehicle:
MLCPS provide complete safety to a vehicle as parked cars are not accessible to anyone else.
Damages or a dent to the car is avoided while parking through narrow drive ways.
Environment friendly:
Environmentally, mechanized car parking has much to offer. One of the greatest benefits related to
conventional underground or open space parking, is the saving of ground space. Outdoor space
saved can be put to good use with gardens and landscaping or additional buildings. It also
significantly reduces noise and other pollutants.
Benefit to a driver:
Car driving now can become a pleasant experience. Mechanical car parking systems makes parking
easier and less stressful as the driver does not have to drive through the entire parking lot looking
for a place to park, nor do they have to attend the car when it is parked, thus saving a lot of time.
Difficulty in parking in a tight corner is also eliminated.
Benefit to builder:
By using MLCPS, floor area and the volume of the stilt/ garage can be used much more efficiently.
It reduces the space needed to park the same number of cars or allow car parking where previously
there would have been no room. This in turn means more financial gains by saving precious real
estate space.

4.1 8051 Microcontroller:

The AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K bytes of
in-system programmable Flash memory. The device is manufactured using Atmels high-density
nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry standard 80C51 instruction set and
pinout. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional
nonvolatile memory programmer. The AT89S52 provides the following standard features: 8K bytes of
Flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, Watchdog timer, two data pointers, three 16-bit timer/counters, a
six-vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry.
The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port, and interrupt system to
continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the RAM con-tents but freezes the oscillator, disabling
all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset.[15]

RFID SECTION:
RFID Reader Module

An RFID (Radio-frequency identification and detection) reader is a device which is used to
communicate with RFID tags by receiving and transmitting signals. These signals use radio waves for
wireless communication. RFID tag is applied to products, individuals or animals to identify and track
them. The identification is done through a unique serial number.[17] This topic covers the interfacing of a
passive RFID system with AT89S52.This is a low frequency (125Khz) RFID reader with serial output
with at range of 8-12cm. It is a compact units with built in antenna and can be directly connected to the PC
using RS232 protocol. RFID or Radio Frequency Identification is a method in which electromagnetic
28
waves are used for transmitting data for the purpose of identifying tags attached to objects. An RFID
system consists of a transmitter (tag) and a reader.The tag is encrypted with a unique code and the
reader scans this code for the identification purpose. The tags are generally of two types: active and
passive. Active tags have a battery fitted to it and it transmits the unique code periodically or in the
proximity of the reader. Passive tags are powered using the electromagnetic induction from the signal
transmitted by the reader.[18] Typical applications of RFID are access control systems, ID cards, human
identification, animal identification, payment systems, tagging books, replacing bar codes, tagging
merchandise in stores etc . RFID tags are available in different shapes but the most common shape is in the
form of a card. The RFID readers are available in the market in the form of a module with all the
supporting hardware. This article is about interfacing RFID to 8051 microcontroller. The images of a
typical RFID card and reader are shown below.
Figure 4-4: RFID card and reader

The RFID card is available in different sizes and shapes and the most commonly used type is shown
above. The image of a typical RFID reader module is also shown above. Basically it contains a
semiconductor memory for storing the unique ID code, modulating circuit and a coil. The coil acts as the
power source by means of electromagnetic induction while in the vicinity of the reader and it also serves as
the antenna for propagating the ID code.[19] The modulating circuit modulates the unique code into the
transmitted wave. The reader basically contains a coil and an electronic circuit. The coil serves as exciter
for the card and also the antenna for receiving the signal propagated by the card. The electronic circuit
demodulates this signal and converts it into a form suitable for the next stage (microcontroller).

A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat electronic visual display that uses the light
modulating properties of liquid crystals. LCDs are more energy efficient and offer safer disposal than
CRTs. Its low electrical power consumption enables it to be used in battery-powered electronic equipment.
It is an electronically-modulated optical device made up of any number of pixels filled with liquid crystals
and arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color.[21]

MOTOR DRIVER SECTION:

L293D is a typical Motor driver or Motor Driver IC which allows DC motor to
drive on either direction. L293D is a 16-pin IC which can control a set of two DC motors
simultaneously in any direction. It means that you can control two DC motor with a single L293D
IC.[22]
32
Figure 4-8: motor driver L293D pin configuration

It works on the concept of H-bridge. H-bridge is a circuit which allows the voltage to be flown in either
direction. As you know voltage need to change its direction for being able to rotate the motor in clockwise
or anticlockwise direction, Hence H-bridge IC are ideal for driving a DC motor.In a single l293d chip there
two h-Bridge circuit inside the IC which can rotate two dc motor independently. Due its size it is very
much used in robotic application for controlling DC motors. Given below is the pin diagram of a L293D
motor controller.[23]

CHAPTER 5: SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
34
5.1 KEIL MICROVISION SOFTWARE

Keil MicroVision is a free software which solves many of the pain points for an
embedded program developer. This software is an integrated development environment (IDE),
which integrated a text editor to write programs, a compiler and it will convert your source code
to hex files too. Usually it is called burning software into the controller. Before burning a
program into a controller, we must do certain prerequisite operations with the program. This
includes writing the program in assembly language or C language in a text editor like notepad,
compiling the program in a compiler and finally generating the hex code from the compiled
program. Earlier people used different softwares/applications for all these 3 tasks. Writing was
done in a text editor like notepad/wordpad, compiling was done using a separate software
(probably a dedicated compiler for a particular controller like 8051), converting the assembly
code to hex code was done using another software etc. It takes lot of time and work to do all
these separately, especially when the task involves lots of error debugging and reworking on the
source code.
Here is simple guide to start working with Keil uVision which can be used for
Writing programs in C/C++ or Assembly language
Compiling and Assembling Programs
Debugging program
Creating Hex and Axf file
Testing your program without Available real Hardware (Simulator Mode)
This is simple guide on Keil uVision 4 though also applicable on previous versions also.
These are the simple steps to get off the mark your inning!
Step 1: After opening Keil uV4, Go to Project tab and
Create new uVision project
Now Select new folder and give name to Project.
35
Figure 5-1: Step 1 of KEIL programming

Step 2: After Creating project now Select your device model.

Step 3: so now your project is created and Message window will appear to add startup file of your
Device click on Yes so it will be added to your project folder
36
Step 4: Now go to File and create new file and save it with .C extension if you will write program
in C language or save with .asm for assembly language.

Step 5: Now write your program and save it again. You can try example given at end of this
tutorial.
Step 6: After that on left you see project window .Now come on Project window.

Right click on target and click on options for target. Here you can change your device also.
37

Click output tab here & check create Hex file if you want to generate hex file.Now click on ok
so it will save changes.

Step 7: Now Expand target and you will see source group.Right click on group and click on Add
files to source group
38

Now add your program file which you have written in C/assembly.You can see program file
added under source group.
Step 8: Now Click on Build target.You can find it under Project tab or in toolbar.It can also be
done by pressing F7 key.

Step 9: you can see Status of your program in Build output window[24]

6.1 Description of flowchart:
6.1.1 While parking the vehicle:

As soon as the car appears near the parking gate the person inside the vehicle will have a
card and he will scan the card on the RFID reader module. If the unique code is correct then
only the vehicle will be allowed to enter into the parking system if not then car will not be
allowed to enter. After scanning RFID card the gate will open and the vehicle will be placed
on the elevator.
On the LCD display count will be incremented to indicate the entry of a new vehicle. The
elevator will place the vehicle wherever there is space in the parking slot. If in case the
parking is full then LCD will display a message PARKING FULL. So the person need not
wait there unnecessarily wasting time.
6.1.2. While retrieving the vehicle:

For retrieving the vehicle the person who needs the vehicle will scan the RFID card and if it
is valid then the elevator will bring the respective vehicle from the parking location if unique
code is not correct then elevator will not bring the vehicle. Once the elevator brings the car
from the location LCD count will be decremented to indicate a parking location is emptied.
And the gate will open if RFID is properly scanned with proper code and person and take
his/her vehicle.

7.1 MICROCONTROLLER 8051:

The microcontroller used in the project is 8051. This part is the heart of the project. It
checks for the entry and exit of car. When it detects the car from the entry gate then it checks
whether there is any vacant space in the parking lot. If there is vacant space then it opens the door
and increases the overall count in the parking lot by one. And if it detects the car from the exit
gate then it decrement the count by one.
7.2 DC MOTOR:
DC motors consist of one set of coils, called armature winding, inside another set of coils
or a set of permanent magnets, called the stator. Here the DC motor is mainly used to manage the
movement and the positioning of elevator.
45
7.3 RFID CARD READER:

RFID is a radio frequency identification system. In our project RFID card will be scanned
by the RFID reader and then only the entry will be provided in the car parking system. Vehicles
with invalid tag will not be allowed to enter the car parking system so it provides more security to
the system.
7.4 ELEVATOR:
The elevator in our project plays a very important role because it is used to park the cars
automatically. No problems like accidents would occur as the human error is not at all involved.
7.5 16X2 LCD DISPLAY:
It is an intelligent LCD module, as it has inbuilt controller which convert the alphabet and
digit into its ASCII code and then display, this LCD will display the total number of cars ,empty
space and no vacant space. If the parking is full then it displays a message that the parking is full
so that the user does not have to waste the time in finding the empty slots for parking.
7.6 POWER SUPPLY:
Power supply of 5V is required for the microcontroller working and DC motor mainly requires
12V power supply respectively which can be obtained by using 7805 and 7812 respectively
together in the same power supply

CHAPTER 10: DETAILS ABOUT
58
10.1 ADVANTAGES:
LESS REQUIREMENT OF SPACE:

Since it is a multilevel parking structure it requires less space and it can accommodate
more no of cars as compared to the normal car parking system.
NO HUMAN ERROR:
As this is purely a automated multilevel car parking human error is not involved so many
problems like accidents can be avoided by using this car parking system.
MORE ACCOMODATION:
As it is a multilevel car parking system more no of cars can be easily accommodated in a
small area.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY :
It requires less space and some amount of pollution is reduced as the user need not find the
parking area and park there instead it is done by elevator automatically.
10.2 DISADVANTAGES:
COSTLY:
As it is a multilevel car parking system the cost required to construct it would be more
than the normal car parking system.
POWER SUPPLY:
As to drive the entire multilevel car parking system more amount of power supply
required is more and if power fails then the entire system stops working.
59
COMPLEX:
It is more complex to design the infrastructure of multilevel car parking system as
compared to the normal parking system
MAINTENANCE:
Multilevel car parking system facilitates support for hundreds and thousands of vehicles
that enter the parking slot so the structure deteriorates much faster so the maintenance
required is much more in this case.
10.3 APPLICATIONS:
The multilevel car parking system find many applications in:
At industrial areas
At malls
At residential area

CHAPTER 12: CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
63
12.1 CONCLUSION:
The Proposed designed in this paper has been successfully completed and tested with
integration of the features of every hardware component for its development. The main purpose of
our project is to build up a automatic car parking system demo. To face the challenge of
automation in practical, we need a vast knowledge. In this project, we worked with
Microcontroller based control system. We also tried to differentiate among different types of
automation and control systems. In here we also tried to give proper security of the vehicle. To
increase the knowledge about automation, this project will obviously be very helpful.
Nonetheless, this project can further be modified or developed any time to offer more flexibilities
and facilities. It reduces traffic and pollution problem to great extent. We can park more cars in
small space. We also reduce time and cost required for conventional parking system with high
degree of security. So we conclude by saying
DEMAND FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN SOLUTIONS.
64
12.2 FUTURE SCOPE:
The basic idea behind a solar parking lot is simply to incorporate solar panels into a
carport, which is basically an open-sided shed with a roof. Solar carports can be small enough to
fit a single car at a residence, or scaled up for commercial and institutional purposes. The main
benefit, of course, is to generate renewable energy that can be used to lower utility costs on site,
for example at a mall or office complex. Depending on the scale, the installation could also yield
excess energy in the form of electricity for sale. A solar carport can also help reduce the heat
island effect of parking lots and contribute to a cooler community, and by providing protection
from the elements it can help enhance vehicle lifespan.
Solar typically meets up to 35 per cent of a spaces total power requirements and can
typically save up to 15 per cent in energy costs. These sustainable car parks also have short pay
back periods (five to eight years) and offer multiple benefits by providing both shade and
electricity.
