Car Park Barrier System

Overview

This project implements an automated car park barrier system. The system controls vehicle entry, parking slot allocation, and gate operation using sensors and a microcontroller-based control logic.

Problem Statement

Manual parking systems are inefficient and error-prone. There was a need for an automated solution capable of managing vehicle access, tracking available slots, and prioritizing VIP vehicles.

Technologies Used

• PIC Microcontroller
• IR Sensors
• Ultrasonic Sensors (HC-SR04)
• RFID (EM-18) for VIP identification
• Servo motors (PWM control)

Key Features

• Automatic gate opening and closing
• VIP vs normal vehicle differentiation
• Real-time parking slot availability display
• Sensor-based vehicle detection

Outcome

The system successfully demonstrated a functional automated parking solution suitable for educational institutions and commercial buildings.
