INTRODUCTION
A storage system comprises of a building structure having an array of contiguous storage spaces on each of at least one level. An automated car parking system comprises of a parking rack and at least one car lifting feeder. The parking rack is divided into a plurality of parking spaces. The car lifting feeder has a pair of comb-like wings for carrying a car into a pair of comb-like platforms which are made on each parking space in the parking rack.
WORKING
An LED panel is provided at the ground floor that basically displays number of cars in each floor. It informs whether the floors are fully filled with the cars or is it having place in a particular floor or not. The lift facility carries the car up or down. Movement of Lift is controlled by stepper motor. An indicator with a green and red LED is kept to indicate whether the lift is busy or is it ready to take the car up or down. If the red LED glows that means the lift is already engaged and the person has to wait for the green LED to glow. Storage capacity can be changed according to the requirement.
7. POWER SUPPLY
The block consists of a linear voltage regulator 7805(positive voltage). It supplies power to the microcontroller, LCD and the stepper motor. The microcontroller here we are using is 8051. The LDR sensor senses the car in the lift, and sends this information to the microcontroller. The LCD module is used to view the entered the password. The stepper motor moves based on the commands by the microcontroller to the place where the driver has chosen. The LED panel displays the number of spaces that are free. The LED panel consists of LED’s equal to the number of parking spaces. When an LED of a particular space glows it means that space is free for the driver to park his car.
ADVANTAGES:
Convenient for the driver with no need to stay in the car.
Safe from crimes (ex: robbery, car accident) that often occurs in parking lot.
Can manage more cars than the ground parking system per unit.
Can reduce pollution by exhaust fumes, noise and littering.
Entrance/exit by driver does not require driver’s skill of parking.
DISADVANTAGES:
Higher investment cost
Higher maintenance cost
Construction is complicated
More care has to be taken while transferring the car from lift to the parking space
