  1. MICROCONTROLLER BASED PARKING GARAGE Kevin Reynolds EKU, Dept. of Technology Computer Electronic Networking

  2. OUTLINE • Motivation- Parking spaces are hard to find • Introduction- Issues with parking garages and technical research • Problem Statement-How to implement my microcontroller based parking garage • Proposed Solution- Steps taken in order to implement my microcontroller based parking garage • Results- result of all my hard work • Conclusions- significance of results and what I have learned • Future Work- future idea of improving my project

  3. PARKING PROBLEMS • Hard to find parking spaces

  4. MORE PARKING PROBLEMS • Driving all around looking for spaces, but none available

  5. STILL MORE PARKING PROBLEMS • Basically, I hate looking for parking spaces

  6. MOTIVATION • Build a parking garage that tells you which spots are available without driving up and down ramps and down aisles for an open parking spot. • I also wanted to have my garage to not use ramps instead to use an elevator.

  7. INTRODUCTION • Security • Safety • Handicap Accessible

  8. TECHNICAL RESEARCH • Microcontrollers • Stepper motors

  9. PROBLEM STATEMENTS • How to get the elevator to go up and down? • How to get the gate to raise and lower? • How to get the elevator to go to each floor? • How to get the LED’s to light up when a car is parked in a space? • How to program a microcontroller? • What size stepper motor should I use?

  10. MY PARKING SOLUTION

  11. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS • To get the elevator to go up and down: • Attach the elevator string to stepper motor • Attach stepper motor to microcontroller board • Write program

  12. MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS • To get elevator to go to each floor: • Connect button wires to microcontroller board • Write program

  13. MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS • To get the gate to raise and lower: • Add keypad to enter correct code • Mount gate to stepper motor • Connect stepper motor to forward/reverse circuit • Connect forward/reverse circuit to microcontroller • Write program

  14. MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

  15. MORE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS • To get LED’s to light up when a car is parked in a space: • Mount LED’S to board and mount to building • Connect LED’s to circuit board • Connect photoresistors to circuit board

  16. RESULTS • Operating parking garage • Functioning automobile space availability display • Functioning elevator (when programmed)

  17. CONCLUSIONS • The significance of my results could make it easier for people who are in a hurry, or just for convenience to find a parking space. It also can offer security and safety than other garages have. • The prototype of this garage could be used in the business place for companies who with for newer technology, or who want to simplify the search for parking spaces, or offer the security and safety of this garage.

  18. LEARNING EXPERIENCES • I have learn many things throughout the Capstone Class: • How microcontrollers work and how to program them • How stepper motors work • How not to wait too long into the semester to work on the project • How unforeseen circumstances can keep you from finishing your project on time.

  19. FUTURE WORK • Implement this project for EET 440/Fiber optics • Creating a database that will charge drivers when they enter and leave the garage and charge it to an account. This will be done with a card reader and magnetic cards • Using conveyor belts and magnets to make it and electronic valet.

  20. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS • If you have any comments or suggestions about my presentation or my project, please email me at: Kevrey826@charter.net Any Questions? Thank you for being here and listening to my presentation.
