Acknowledgements

First of all , We would like to thank Dr. Farid who has been our

supervisor during our project and provided us with much appreciated help

and advice .He also help us in building the circuit.

Secondly , We would like to thank our families for their financial support

of this project.

Thirdly , many thanks for Mr. Sultan for has idea for lights.

Finally, We would like to give very special thank to our parents for their

social support and great encouragement during our project .

Introduction

On a daily basis, it is estimated that 30% of vehicles on the road in the

downtown area of major cities are cruising for a parking spot and it takes

an average of 7.8 minutes to find one [1]. This causes not only a waste of

time and fuel for drivers looking for parking, but it also contributes to

additional waste of time and fuel for other drivers as a result of traffic

congestion.

Over the past two decades, traffic authorities in many cities are building

so-called Parking Guidance and Information (PGI) systems for better

parking management. PGI systems present drivers with dynamic

information on parking within controlled areas and direct them to vacant

parking spots.

Due to improvements in design technology today’s ,Our group takes a

chance to find solution to reduce wasting time for drivers looking for

parking . In this project we will build a complete system that tells drivers

where to parking their cars.

2- Main Body The Problem

Figure (1) Car Parking

As we see in figure (1) the parking from the top there are places but is

difficult to know that places are empty also the drivers waste time

looking for parking.

The Solution

Figure (2) Car Parking has units

First of all, We will put a display in entering parking to show drivers

which unit to go .The display also count the entering cars in the unit when

unit is full tells drivers not to go that unit.

After that we put the lights in front of each park to tell drivers where to

park. The lights are red and green which red light indicates to busy places

and the green light indicates to empty places.

How does the circuit work ?

Figure (3) Circuit diagram

The main components of the circuit microcontroller , switches , lights ,

display and source . The circuit works in 5volt .

When the cars take place in the parking, the microcontroller works by

sending signals to the display to count entering cars . Also the

microcontroller sends signals to the lights to change from red to green and

so on.

In our project we made a small model that consist of two units . Each unit

has 8 parks when the parking has 8 cars the display will show the number

of unit with statement "Unit No. full no entering ".Also we the parking is

free the display will show the number of unit with statement "unit No.

empty go unit No. ".

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

• Find park in short time.

• Provide fuel .

• Low cost .

Disadvantages

• Hard to repair the underground sensors.

• Can't use this in public

Benefits

Imagine the time that smart parking system would save you. Every time

you enter your university or origination you have to find a parking space

and walking in and out of the lot as well . Imagine how much time it is

costing you. With this system will reduce wasting time , fuel and provide

lots of benefits .

Conclusion

In this model we use underground sensors which will be costly in the

practical , so we recommend using the dimension sensor in the life .

Finally , we hope this project eliminates all the hassle of wasting time and

fuel .
