Abstract

This project is about designing a PC-based monitoring parking system that can be applied to parking lots such as at shopping complexes, offices and buildings. The main focus on this project is the development of front panel using the LabVIEW software by National Instrument. Conventional car park system does not have display panel to show the vacancies of parking lot while current existing project only own the function to display the availability of vacancies but not the actual position to users. Thus, 1 of the main objectives in this project is to develop 2 front panels for both users and owner. This will not only ease the users but also bring benefits to the owner as information of the parking lots can be retrieved from this system. The information includes total vehicles in and out daily, monthly, total income gained and so on. In addition, the project is also being upgraded so as to become more power saving by allowing the sensor of consecutive levels of parking lot to be activated only after the previous levels are fully parked. On the other hand, the system is also more user friendly after a “HELP” button is added at the entrance of the parking lot. Besides that, this project will create virtual sensor operation system by developing LabVIEW front panel of car park operation data. The system will convert the output from sensor to the programmable language to the PC-based display panel by using the DAQ which acts as interface between hardware and software. When the “HELP” button at the entrance is pressed by users, SMS will be sent to the operator in charge through the interface between PC and mobile phone using GSM modem. AT commands is used to control the functionality of modem. In this project, 2 front panels are successfully developed and explained by designing a physical model of parking lot with car detection operation. This PC based monitoring system can be applied in various industrial applications such as building security system and factory automation
