Now a days there are number of cars on the street, which are increasing alarmingly
as there are lot of vehicles which are low in price. The vehicle parking system have
become major problem among the current development issues. Due to increasing
population, the number of vehicles on the roads is also increasing leading to
insufficient area to park the vehicles. Due to this reason people end up parking cars
on the roads which causes traffic jams, which makes the situation worse. To
overcome this problem, we can design and engineer a system that can save lot of
space to park vehicles, reduces parking cost, stealing of vehicles, reduces traffic
jams etc. Such systems are called as automated multi-level car parking systems.
This systems make use of a automated mechanisms to park the car with comfort
and in proper arrangement with high accuracy in the space provided. Multi-level
car parking system will help in parking large number of vehicles in
[Type text]
This Automatic
Car Parking System enables the parking of vehicles, floor after floor and thus
reducing the space used. Also automating this will help in less manual
intervention and thus will lead to fewer problems. Such a system has been
proposed and designed in this project. Additions are made to the existing
systems to ensure maximum space utilization. To serve this purpose, parking
slots are assigned inside the multi storied structure depending on the size of the car.
Implementation of the design was carried out in AUTOCAD with hardware
being introduced at input and output stages. Programming in AUTOCAD is done
in a way which is user friendly and can be handled by an inexperienced
operator.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The endless search for free spaces in a car park is a burden for any driver
nowadays since vehicles are a predominant mode of transportation. With rising
number of vehicles and dwindling parking spaces, vehicles parked along the road
and even on sidewalks have become fairly common phenomena. With these
parked vehicles encroaching on road space and pedestrian space, traffic
congestion and accidents are inevitable. A well-organized parking system which
makes maximum use of available space offers a solution to this situation. There
are two categories of parking systems which have been identified. These are
traditional parking systems and multistoriedparking system.
In traditional parking systems, vehicles are parked in

perpendicular or parallel fashion. With no safety against
the protection against atmospheric conditions, it is not a
space efficient system either. Multistoried parking
systems are preferred since they multiply parking
capacity of a given area [1]. Various floors are present for
parking the vehicles with ramps and staircases provided
for moving between floors.
There are various types of existing systems that are
applied in many countries to improve parking facilities for
crowded areas [1-6]. This review identifies a few of them.

1. Identifying and sketching the solution

The best way to put any ideas in action is to sketch it up.
Thus all the structures and the components needed were
either sketched or listed down. In this research a scale
down 3 level parking space model was considered during
the design phase. A thorough research work was done to
identify the appropriate size that is needed for a vehicle to
be parked in, depending on the size the uncertainties were
also considered to prevent the vehicles from getting
damaged. First of all, by looking at the size of the car that
will be used as a model for hardware development this
research multiple toy car were used during the
experimental stage and came up with dimensions of the car
park area (sketched shown in Fig. 1).

Fig. 2. Sketch of Lifting Mechanism
A mechanism was designed that is proposed to be
used to pick up vehicles and place it in the empty slots
available in the cark park, as shown in Fig. 2 above. A
plate was designed that will scoop the vehicle from the
side and as directed by the micro controller it is going to
place the vehicle in the empty slot available. As show in
Fig. 2 a pin and rack gear is used to move back and
forward and the whole system is connected to a belt
drive mechanism which will lift the car and all of this is
connected to the axial for easy movement.
2. Drawing the components in AutoCAD and 3D print

Structural designs; namely 3 different gears (i.e. Rake &
Pinion), a base structure was made for the lifting
component to move back and forth and two shafts were
for the lifting structure are drawn using AutoCAD. CAD
designs of various parts are shown in Fig. 3; which were
[Type text]
finally fabricated using 3D printer.

3. Construction of parking components
Ply wood was used to build the multilevel
compartments due to the availability and ease of
fabrication. Fig. 4 shows the constructed model of the
