Project Information
Project Title:Automatic vehicle parking control
Hardware & Software Used:
1.NIDAQ-NIUSB6212
2.Sharp Ir sensors-GP2Y0A02YK
3.LABView 2010
4.NI VISION ASSISTANT-2010
What challenge/problem are you trying to solve through your application:
1.Maintanence of Crowded parking lots in cities and time taken by an vehicle to be parked in the lot.
2.Maintaining the details about the vehicles parked in the lot.
3.Suggetsion of the empty lot available to the driver.
How does your application solves the above mentioned challenge/problem:
1.Fully automated vehicle parking system which directs vehicle to the empty lot available without any manual intervention thereby reducing the time taken.
2.Maintaining the register database containing the complete details about the vehicles parked in the lot.
3.Detection of the nearest empty lot available and intimating to the driver.
Description of Project:
The major tasks performed by this project:
A systematic and automatic approach for the number of vehicles entering and exiting
a particular parking lot.
A proper indication to the driver to the nearest vacant slot in the parking lot.
Maintenance of record of cars that have been parked.
Automatic number plate recognition for maintaining the records.
Recording the time of entry and exit of the vehicle and hence the duration for which
the vehicle has been parked.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
DAQ is used to interface sensors and the values are fed to LabVIEW. When a vehicle is
detected by the sensors , count is updated with the help of the ternary operator(conditional select)
in such a way that it returns a one if sensor input is less/greater(depending upon the change in
sensor value in either cases) than the threshold voltage set and vice-versa .The one or zero value
is given to the adder/subtractor correspondingly with a feedback node which helps in updating
the total number of cars present at any point of time .Whenever a vehicle enters its details are
collected through a Register-database and then directed to nearest slot available. Thus an array is
formed listing details of all vehicles parked. The details of the vehicle which leaves the slot, is
also in a similar way collected so that its details could be deleted from the array containing the
details about the vehicles that are parked. The appended array is used next time whenever a new
vehicle enters, to find the slot which is available at the shortest distance. Thus if there is no
empty slot available it can be displayed outside itself. Also a separate copy of record containing
entire details of the vehicles which used the parking lot is maintained for any future reference. In
this way entire parking lot can be automated.
Reading characters from the number plate is shown at
the end of the video.
