Abstract

The purpose of this project is to improve existing car park system with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This project is an intelligent system to display empty slots on the touch screen and also guiding driver to the selected empty car park slot. There will be a screen panel which is located outside the car park building in order to display the available car park slots in the building. The driver can select their favorite empty car park slots on the screen panel. Then the driver should follow the direction arrow on the display board in the car park building to find out their selected empty car park space without make detour to find an available parking slot. In this project the CX-Designer software is use to display the available car park slots on the screen in the same time it also use to choose the empty car slots by the driver. Other than that, PLC also plays as main control processing unit to point the way toward the selected vacant slot for the driver. Furthermore, there are three types of sensors, which are photoelectric sensor, capacitor sensor, and inductive sensor use to sense the vehicle location status. These kinds of sensors are parts of input to PLC. Light Emitting Diode (LED) light are use to show the direction of the selected car park slot, which are the output from PLC. By applying this intelligent car park system, the car park user can save more time and reduce fuel consumption for searching an available car parking slot. These systems reduce traffic congestion at parking area as well during peak time. Furthermore, the drivers also capable seek out their selected car park slot in a very short time.
