Abstract:
In handling the difficulty of parking cars at the Polytechnic, Ibadan where there is no distinct parking bay, a solution to reduce the drivers’ searching time for parking their cars will greatly save time and improve the traffic flow on campus. The objective of this Paper therefore, is model and an Automatic Car Parking System with a single entrance barrier and a single exit barrier. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) unit is provided to display the information about the total number of cars already parked and to specify if the park is full. The major component used is the PIC microcontroller programmed in Micro-C. The model is unique in that it is controlled by software, which can be modified at any time the system demands a change. It should be noted that the automatic car parking system is not a security device and should not be construed as one. In conclusion, recommendations were drawn for an improved, effective, and security gate system.
