MICROCONTROLLER-BASED AUTOMATIC PARKING MONITORING SYSTEM.
Abstract
This article analyzes the problems of efficient management of parking systems arising from the increasing number of vehicles in modern cities. The shortcomings of traditional manually controlled systems are highlighted, in particular errors related to the human factor, increased time consumption, and decreased monitoring efficiency. To address this problem, the development of an automated parking monitoring system based on a microcontroller is proposed.
The system is capable of detecting vehicle entry and exit, counting available parking spaces, and automatically controlling the entrance gate, operating in real time. In addition, within the scope of the project, an appropriate microcontroller platform, sensors, and actuators are selected, and the system block diagram and control program are developed. The system is tested in a simulation environment, and the obtained results are analyzed.
As a result, the proposed solution is justified as a means of reducing human labor in parking management, simplifying the monitoring process, and increasing system efficiency.
