 Automatic Car Parking System

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION Figure 1 shows the block diagram of Automated Car Parking System. The system consists of transmitter, receiver and demultiplexer, up-counter, downcounter and display sections. The transmitter section comprises two infrared transmitters (IR1 TX1 and IR2 TX2), which transmit infrared beams as shown in figure 2. These light  becomes are incident on the corresponding infrared receiver modules (IR3 RX1 and IR4 RX2), which produce an output of 0 volt if the beam is received uninterrupted and +5 volt if the beam is interrupted by a car. Whenever a car enters the parking area, it interrupts the infrared beams in a definite sequence. This sequence is given to the up-count sequence detector, which generates a high output only if the correct sequence has been detected. Similarly, when the car leaves the parking area, it generates a fixed sequence, which is given to the down-count sequence detector. The down-count sequence detector generates a high output only if the correct sequence is produced by exiting car. The outputs of the up-count, down-count blocks are given to the display section. The display sections as a counter a 7-segment display along with driver IC to display the count. Depending on the sequence detector that generates an actuating signal, the count is either incremented or decremented. The display section consists of status signals, which include: 1. A yellow signal to indicate that a car is currently in the processing of  entering or leaving the parking space. 2. A green signal is indicate that the parking lot has not reached its maximum capacity, and that space is available the parking of a car in the parking area. 3. A red signal to indicate that the parking space is full. The activation of this signal coincides with the disabling of the green signal, and is a companied   by the disabling (closing) of the gate for vehicles trying to enter the  parking lot.

 Automatic Car Parking System

SYSTEM OVERVIEW A gate has been provided at the entering of the parking space, which opens on the arrival or departure of a car. A display section has been provided, which consists of status signals and a display showing the number of car present in the parking space at any point of  time. A display section also provides the information regarding the vacancy of    parking slot by glowing the corresponding LED this assist the driver while driving. After the maximum numbers of cars have entered the parking space, the gate is automatically disabled (closed) for vehicles seeking entry into the parking lot. A logic circuit distinguishes between the cars and persons / two wheelers, so that persons and two wheelers are not included in the count of cars.

Circuit Operation

 Automatic Car Parking System

CIRCUIT OPERATION The automated car parking circuit as shown in figure 2 and figure 3. The circuit primarily uses two NE555 timer ICs, four 74LS74 D flip-flop, 74155 2: 4 decoder, up/down binary counter 74193, 7-segment display driver L293D. In addition, the circuit uses six TSOP 1738 infrared receiver modules, six infrared transmitting LEDs, 7-segment display and green, red and yellow LEDs, along with three-push-to-on switches. For easy understanding the circuit, let’s divide the circuit into the following four basic sections: 1. Sensor   2. Sequence detector  3. Counter and display 4. Gate control 5. Parking Slot indicator  The sensor section:

This section senses the movement of objects and transfers that information to IC1 in the main circuit. The sensor section can be further divided into the transmitter section and the receiver section. The prominent component used in the design of the transmitter and receiver sections is the IR receiver module TSOP 1738. This is a highly selective receiver, which comprises a photo detector and a  preamplifier with IR filter in a single package to provide demodulated output. It works efficiently with 1kHz modulation of

38 kHz bursts. This feature of the

receiver determines the composition of the transmitted signal. For generating approximately 38kHz frequency carrier signal modulated   by a 1kHz square wave, we use too NE555 timer ICs in astable mode in the transmitter section. One NE555 timer (IC 12) is designed to produce a square wave of 1kHz with 50% duty cycle, while the second timer (IC 13) is designed to  produce a square wave of 38kHz with 50% duty cycle. In the order to modulate the 38 kHz wave, output pin 3 of the first NE555 (IC 13). The final output of the cascaded arrangement is given to a pair of IR LEDs through current-limiting resistor R5, which prevents the IR LED from getting heated and thus damaged. 9

Fig.2: Circuit Diagram of IR transmitter part The receiver section consists of two identical receiver circuits, using one infrared receiver TSOP 1738 each. The output of this receiver is open-collector  type, and hence requires a pull-up resistor, whose value must be much greater than 10k. A 4.7 µ F electrolytic capacitor must be connected between the supply and ground for this receiver to minimize the interference of spurious signals in the operation of the receiver. When the signal is received correctly, the original 1kHz square wave signal is obtained at the output of the receiver. In the absence of the signal, however, a +5V DC level is obtained. Since the ICs in the following blocks are of  TTL family, the receiver must be TTL compatible. The +5V DC level occasionally drops to 0V, even when the signal strength is quite low, due to the high sensitivity of the receiver. This may lead to false triggering of the circuit, which must be eliminated. For this, a 22 µ F electrolytic capacitor is connected between the output of the receiver and ground. This capacitor bypasses the square wave to ground and holds the DC value of the signal (which is 0V) in the normal state and +5V when the signal is blocked. In place of  this capacitor, you may also use any capacitor of comparable value. The output of the sensor section goes to the sequence detection section.

The sequence detection section:

This section is the heart of the entire system. It consists of a 2:4 decoder and flip-flops, which are used for the sequence detection. The 74155 dual 2:4 decoder  IC1 receives its select signals at pins 13(A) and 3(B) (for one of the decoders) from receivers RX1 and RX2, respectively. The other decoder is not used. The output lines of the enabled decoder are active low. For convenience, the receiver before the entrance to the gate is connected to the pin 13 of the IC1. In default state, each receiver is active and inputs 0 to the decoder, making the Y0 output line low. When the first sensor is blocked, the Y1 line goes low. The low going Y2 line indicates that only the second sensor is blocked. A low Y3 line indicates that both signals have been blocked. Refer truth table of IC1 74155 given in table 1. The four output lines act as decoding and control signals for the remaining circuits. TABLE 1: Truth table of 74155 (IC1)

The sequence detection logic circuit consists of three flip-flops for detecting incoming as well as out going vehicles. The Y0 line is connected to the clear pins of all the flip-flops, which gives 0 at their respective outputs. A vehicle entering the parking area must interrupt the first sensor (before entrance), then both sensors, and finally just the second sensor (after entrance). Thus it must generate states 1 0, 1 1, and 0 1 necessarily in that sequence. For identifying the states and the order in which they occur, we give the Y2, Y3 and Y1 lines after logical inversion to the clock inputs of three successive flip-flops, respectively. A VCC signal is input to the first flip-flop, while each subsequent input is the output of the previous flip-flop. The logic states of the three decoded output lines are inverted because these are active low, while the 74LS74 D flip-flops are triggered by a rising edge of the clock signal. 12

 Automatic Car Parking System

Only the proper sequence of logic states will cause a high logic at the output of the third flip-flop. Any other sequence will not allowed the transfer of  the high signal through the series of flip-flops. The output of the third flip-flop is given to the counter and display section, which increments the count. Thus when a vehicle enters the parking area, the Y0 signal clears all the flip-flops, and this very instant, the count is incremented. An identical circuit is used for detecting a vehicle leaving the parking area. In this case, however, the states generated by the vehicle are 0 1, 1 1, and 1 0, necessarily in that order. Hence the clock signals for the three successive flip-flops are derived from Y1, Y3 and Y2 line, respectively. The working of this circuit is identical to the one for detecting the vehicle entering the parking area. In this case the final D flip-flop output is given to the counter and display section for decrementing the count. This occurs at he instant when the outputs of the flip-flop are cleared by the low going Y0 signal (explained in the counter and display section). The counter and display section:

This section consists of up/down counter IC74193, BCD to 7-segment decoder, display driver IC4511 (to drive a common cathode 7-segment display), and three LEDs (red, yellow and green). The counter IC74193 is capable of handling up as well as down counts, if  configured for the same. The count is incremented by one when a rising edge is encountered on the up pin (pin 5) and decremented by one when a rising edge is encountered on the down pin (pin4). In our circuit, the former occurs when the vehicle has entered in the parking area and line Y0 clears the output of the final flip-flop, causing a transition from the high to low logic state, which, when passed through an inverter, provides a rising edge. The count decrements in the same fashion when the flip-flops in question are those used for detecting the vehicle leaving the parking area. The preset data pins of the counter IC are connected to VCC, while the load data pin is connected to one end of a push to on switch whose other pin is grounded. Such an arrangement can be used to reset the counter, and consequently all drivers and display unit in the circuit. The four output lines of up/ down 13

 Automatic Car Parking System

counter (74193) are fed to the corresponding pins in the decoder or the driver 4511 (IC9). The active high outputs of the decoder are connected to their corresponding  pins in the 7-segment common-cathode display. The MSB and LSB lines of the outputs of the counter IC10 are ANDed using gates N7 and N8. The output from gate 8 is fed to the anode of the red LED, which indicates that nine vehicles are present in the parking area and there is no further space. This happens because the output of the binary 9 on the lines makes the extreme lines high, which gives a high at the otherwise-low anode of the red LED, thus turning it on. The same signal after inversion is given to the anode of the green LED, which indicates the availability of space for at least one vehicle in the parking area. The yellow LED indicates that a vehicle is either entering or leaving the  parking area. Hence, this LED must be on when a t least one of the sensors is being cut. For this reason, the Y0 line of the decoder is given at the anode of the LED. When no signal is being cut, the Y0 line is low, keeping the LED off. But as soon as any one of the signals is cut, the Y0 line goes high, turning the yellow LED on. The LED indication for the various situations is depicted in table 2. TABLE 2: LED Indications LED Yellow Red Green

Indication Car is in the process of parking No vacancy Parking space available

The gate control section:

The gate control section consists of IC5, IC4 and IC11, which provide the appropriate logic used for controlling operation of the gate/barrier. Assume that the lower position of the barrier is the default position. Now whenever the input to motor driver IC11 is 1 0, it causes the motor to rotate, thereby causing the barrier to move such that it opens the entrance. Similarly, when the input to motor driver is 0 1, the motor rotates in the opposite direction to lower the barrier, thereby closing the gate. When the input to the motor driver is 0 0, the motor does not rotate. 14

 Automatic Car Parking System

When the car as entered the parking area completely, the input to the IC11 is 0 1, causing the motor to rotate such that the gate begins to close till it pushes the lower switch at which point it stops moving. Thus, the movement of the gate is automatically controlled on the arrival or departure of a car. Table 3 gives clear picture of the working of the gate control section.

In order to disable the gate from opening for a vehicle entering the parking area after the count of the 9, we use a simple combinational logic circuit consists of NAND and OR gates, whose output is given to enable in 1 of the L293D motor  driver (IC11). In normal condition, the output of this logic circuit is high, enabling IC11. When the maximum count of the 9 is reached, the output of the logic circuit  becomes low, thereby disabling the motor and keeping the gate closed for all vehicles seeking entry to the parking area. However, when a vehicle wishes to leave the area IC11 gets enabled, thus opening the gate. The output current capability per channel of L293D approximately 600mA. The truth table of L293D is given in table 4. TABLE 4: Truth Table of L293D Input H

The output of IR receiver is given to the LED, which indicates the current status of the parking slot. IR receiver gives the 5V when any vehicle interrupts the infrared beam that means LED will glow when there is car in the parking and LED will not glow when parking slot is vacant.

 Automatic Car Parking System

PREPARATION OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD The process of preparation of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is explained as follows: 1. The artwork is prepared of the circuit using software viz. ‘ORCAD 9.1’. 2. Then a negative of this artwork is prepared for further process. 3. Required size of PCB is marked on glass epoxy PCB clad with marker. 4. Using shearing machine the marked portion of glass epoxy PCB clad is cut. 5. The glass epoxy PCB clad is cleaned using steel wool care should be taken, so that one cleans it only in one particular direction. 6. Now apply photo resist chemical. This chemical can also be applied by machine, but we have applied it manually, so as to have a thin even coat of   photo resist chemical over the clad. 7. After the clad has dried off, it is superimposed by the negative and set into the

ultraviolet

exposure

machine.

Care

should be

taken

while

superimposing the negative. 8. Now ‘ON’ the UV exposure for 2 minutes let the clad get exposed to UV rays wherever required. 9. Further developing is done using photo resist developer i.e. mild trichloroethylene. 10. Apply blue color dye and then wash it under flowing water and then let it dry. 11. The final chemical process is etching. There are three etching chemicals generally been used for PCB etching viz. Ferric chloride, Ammonium   persulphate and chloric acid. Here we have used Ferric Chloride for  etching process. 12. Finally holes are drilled at the islands of components, lead connections and for wire connections.

Conclusion

CONCLUSION 23

 Automatic Car Parking System

Due to tremendous advancement in technology the prices of vehicles are now economical to have it. But in comparison with this in cities there is shortage of parking zones and because of this every body tries to park his vehicle properly, which creates chaos at parking place. Therefore in today’s fast growing technological world, regulation of parking is very important issue. Our project caters this problem by automating parking system so that it regulates number of cars can be parked in an area. After the initial installation, the system requires no manual control. Everything, right from maintaining the count of vehicles to opening and closing the gate, is automatically controlled. As the circuit uses low cost easily available discrete ICs, it is cost effective. Future scope of our project is overcome the limitations of i.e. it caters only nine cars. This can by easily modified by adding extra circuitry to the current system. By cascading counter and display section, we are able to regulate the 99 vehicles. It is also possible to use microcontroller instead discrete digital IC.
