PLC Based Automatic Car Parking System

Abstract

In the present era of the automobile world, vehicles are increasing at an alarming. This has posed a serious problem of parking. The major problem is with four four-wheeler vehicles. Since the available area for parking is very much limited in urban regions it is a severe problem. Given that the number of automobiles is growing daily, it is imperative that we avoid wasting any more space. Where parking issues are frequent, an automated parking plan ought to be created. Given the aforementioned issue, an automated system for parking cars has been put in place, which helps to reduce the amount of space needed for parking when compared to traditional car parks. In the current project, a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based automated parking system will be designed to identify available parking spaces in the facility and manage the parking process. In the current study, a compact programmable logic controller (PLC) called the ABB AC131GRF, which is based on ladder logic, is used to create the automation process of an automatic automobile parking system. At the departure and entry gates, infrared (IR) electronic sensors were placed to detect cars that are either waiting to enter or exit.
