Arduino based Automatic Parking Slot Detection

Abstract

The automated parking slot detection system not only finds the empty slot in the parking lot but also exactly denotes the location of the slot in the parking lot. This system uses an arduino to receive the necessary information from the infrared proximity sensor which is placed at the parking slots which detects the presence of the car and if the vehicle is present at the designated slot then the LED at the parking slot will be red and if the slot is absent then the LED at the slot would be green. The arduino is to receive, process and transmit the data accordingly. The automation system we use here is a further improvement on the already existing system which only denotes the number of empty slots available in a particular parking lot where as this additional guidance system to the empty slots is a value addition to this particular system.
