MICROCONTROLLER BASED PARKING GARAGE
Kevin ReynoldsEKU, Dept. of Technology
Computer Electronic Networking

OUTLINE Motivation- Parking spaces are hard to find Introduction- Issues with parking garages and
technical research Problem Statement-How to implement my
microcontroller based parking garage Proposed Solution- Steps taken in order to
implement my microcontroller based parking garage
Results- result of all my hard work Conclusions- significance of results and what I
have learned Future Work- future idea of improving my
project

PARKING PROBLEMS Hard to find
parking spaces
4
MORE PARKING PROBLEMS Driving all around
looking for spaces, but none available
5
STILL MORE PARKING PROBLEMS
Basically, I hate looking for parking spaces
6
MOTIVATION
Build a parking garage that tells you which spots are available without driving up and down ramps and down aisles for an open parking spot.
I also wanted to have my garage to not use ramps instead to use an elevator.

INTRODUCTION
Security Safety Handicap Accessible
8
TECHNICAL RESEARCH
Microcontrollers Stepper motors

PROBLEM STATEMENTS How to get the elevator to go up and
down? How to get the gate to raise and lower? How to get the elevator to go to each
floor? How to get the LED’s to light up when a
car is parked in a space? How to program a microcontroller? What size stepper motor should I use?
10
MY PARKING SOLUTION
11
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS To get the elevator
to go up and down: Attach the elevator
string to stepper motor
Attach stepper motor to microcontroller board
Write program
12
MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS To get elevator to
go to each floor: Connect button
wires to microcontroller board
Write program
13
MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
To get the gate to raise and lower: Add keypad to enter correct code Mount gate to stepper motor Connect stepper motor to
forward/reverse circuit Connect forward/reverse circuit to
microcontroller Write program
14
MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
15
MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
To get LED’s to light up when a car is parked in a space: Mount LED’S to board and mount to
building Connect LED’s to circuit board Connect photoresistors to circuit
board

RESULTS
Operating parking garage Functioning automobile space
availability display Functioning elevator (when
programmed)

CONCLUSIONS The significance of my results could make
it easier for people who are in a hurry, or just for convenience to find a parking space. It also can offer security and safety than other garages have.
The prototype of this garage could be used in the business place for companies who with for newer technology, or who want to simplify the search for parking spaces, or offer the security and safety of this garage.

LEARNING EXPERIENCES I have learn many things throughout the
Capstone Class: How microcontrollers work and how to program them How stepper motors work How not to wait too long into the semester to work
on the project How unforeseen circumstances can keep you from
finishing your project on time.
19
FUTURE WORK Implement this project for EET 440/Fiber
optics Creating a database that will charge
drivers when they enter and leave the garage and charge it to an account. This will be done with a card reader and magnetic cards
Using conveyor belts and magnets to make it and electronic valet.
