Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop a parking system that can solve the problems regarding the availability of parking space with high efficiency through application of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The principle objective of this project was to develop a prototype which is fully functional, usable and can sufficiently accurate follow the available number of free space .This parking system will be able to detect and count the incoming and outgoing vehicles (cars/vans) at a parking space and at the same time each of parking lot will provided some indicators to indicate the availability of the parking area. In addition, this research also includes the mechanism on how the FULL indicator will be triggered by a chosen metal detector. As an early indication for available parking space, a screen will be posted in front of the Entrance/Exit gate as one of the way to visualize and information medium to drivers. This screen will be used Visual Basic software to design the required output that should be display on the screen and the display will be updated time to time depend on the availability of parking space. Furthermore, the drivers therefore can decide which parking lot area that he will be able to park. Once the vehicle is parked, a sensor that place over the parking lot will mark the parking lot is occupied, and activate the suitable indicator.
