Design and development of multilevel car park system

Abstract

Nowadays, the technologies that currently implemented in multilevel car park system in Malaysia is still left behind compare to other developed countries. Vehicle driver has to travel from level to level in order to search for a parking space. This can cause wastage of time in searching for an empty space and the cost that spent on fuel will increase as well. Besides, vehicle driver also facing the problem in ensuring their privilege in private car park protected. Therefore, in this research, the technology of multilevel car park system was introduced, modified and improved by using low cost and good quality sensors and also create an efficient security system on the same time in order to protect the privilege and safety of vehicle driver in private car park. This system was designed by program the C language into PIC microcontroller chip where this chip acts as a controller of the whole system. As a conclusion, the result of this project was hoped to improve the present technology of multilevel car park system that practiced in Malaysia and also able to be propose and apply in all the multilevel car park in Malaysia so that problems that faced by vehicle driver can be reduced.
