Abstract Now days the world prefers automatic systems
to perfume any kind of work inside the house and in
worksites too. With the help of new generation technology
many problems can be solved developing automatic
systems. The traffic accidents, traffic jams, parking space
detection and parking problems became common
problems nowadays, and have caused more concerns on
people. Some of the problems can be solved by proposed
project smart car parking system. This system can
automatically display the parking timing of particular
vehicle and display total parking fee needed to pay. Our
system aims to reduce the human efforts and create fair
judgment while paying parking fee by automated the
process of car parking and parking fee display. This in
turn would prove to be useful in reducing the time. The
main part of the proposed project is AT89C52
microcontroller which is interface with LCD to display
information and it is also interface with RFID reader to
sense the RFID card. The buzzer is also connected at the
output side to indicate weather card is register to system
or not by producing beep sound. The motor driver IC also
connected to system to open and close the door with the
help of DC motor.
The motor driver is provided with 12 DC to drive motor.
To the AT89C52 is 5 volts is provided.

with high efficiency. In current situation number of vehicles
are increasing rapidly and there is parking problems in town
areas. Due to parking problem in cities and towns car parking,
taxes is introduced in many countries. Car parking taxes
system is also introduced in some towns in Bhutan such as
Thimphu, Gelephu and Phuntsholing.
The main concept behind this project is firstly the driver will
receive RFID card and it is interface with AT89C52 by
software programming. Then the motor driver is connected to
gate of parking to open or close and it rotate driver in forward
or in reverse direction. The AT89C52 is also interface with
LCD to display the output that is total parking fee and time
and it also read data from RFID to know which card is placed
near module. There is also buzzer at output side to indicate
that car has entered parking areas.
The automatic parking system can help us a lot to solve these
problems. The automatic parking system will automatic
control car in parking areas. With the new generation, people
are going for automatic control system. Car parking systems
have been around almost since the time cars were invented. In
any area where there is a significant amount of traffic, there
are car parking systems. Car Parking systems were developed
in the early 20th century in response to the need of storage
space for vehicles.
There are several advantages of employing a car park system
for urban planners, business owners and vehicle drivers.
They offer convenience for vehicle users and efficient usage
of space for urban-based companies.
Automated car park systems save time, money, space and
simplify the often tedious task of parking. Auto car lifts move
vehicles into safe and secure storage areas until they are
needed

All circuits are design in Proteus software. Designing is done
part by part like display unit separately then sensor unit and
control units. After designing all they units are combined
together and simulated using the program code. The program
is developed in Kiel software and compiled in Kiel compiler
only. The microcontroller simulation in Proteus works by
applying the hex file or a debug file to the microcontroller part
on the schematic. It is then co-simulated along with any
analog and digital electronics connected to it. Program are
developed in a such a way that only register car allowed get
into the system.
When the register car is shown card to RFID reader then, gate
will automatically open and buzzer will produce short beep
sound which indicate card is valid to system. When car get
inside the gate again close automatically. This closing and
opening of gate due to delay function which is program in
software.
When car comes out from parking system again driver has to
show his card. That time also get will automatically open.
When the car is out, the display unit show the time duration
that car has been parked and total amount need to pay as a
parking fee or charge.
A. Control unit
The AT89C52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit
microcomputer with 8K bytes of Flash programmable and
erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device is
manufactured using Atmels high-density nonvolatile memory
technology and is compatible with the industry-standard
80C51 and 80C52 instruction set and pinout. The on-chip
Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-
system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer.
By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a
monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C52 is a powerful
microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-
effective solution to many embedded controller application.
B. Power unit
Power unit is very important system in this project. It receives
the input of higher voltage and converts it to the required
voltages. This unit consist of 230v-12v
transformer, LM7805 voltage regulator, rectifying diodes and
parallel RC circuit (for filtering).

C. Display unit
A 16 * 2 LCD display is very basic module and is very
commonly used in various devices and circuits. These
modules are preferred over seven segments and others multi
segments LEDs. The reasons being are LCDs are economical;
easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying special
and even custom characters (unlike in seven segments) and
animation. It can also display long message or digital data
where as other LED display cannot and if it displays it is very
hard to design and display in LED.
In this proposed project LCD display can display system
information, the information about registered RFID card, time
amount vehicle has been parked and total amount of parking
fee.

D. Sensor unit

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of radio

waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached
to an object. A tag can be read from up to several feet away
and does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the
reader to be tracked.
The RFID card has its unique id number so they can be sense
and identify through its id numbers by the help of RFID
reader. When the car reaches the gate of the system the drive
is given particular card to get inside the system. When the card
is shown near to RFID reader it will read the card code and
transmit code to microcontroller through TX pin to RX pin of
microcontroller.

In this project, smart car parking microcontroller is heart of
the system which control other peripherals devices like RFID
reader, LCD display and motor driver IC L293D. The output
is achieved by following the procedure such as analysis on the
circuit diagram of the smart car parking, designing circuit
using microcontroller which is interfaces with RFID reader
and display (LCD). System is made function by developing
programming and duping the hex cord in the hardware system.
First the system is tested in software and the tested in
breadboard and finally fabricated on PCB board. The required
program is developed in keil software and also compile in it
only. The working of system is based on following conditions;
Firstly, RFID reader read the ID code of the card and if its
vailed then door will open. If the card is not vailed the door
will not open. This opening and closing of door is controlled
by motor driver IC and program stored in control unit
(AT89C52 microcontroller).
When the car get inside the time in is started to count and
when car is coming out display unit will show the information.
The amount of time car has been parked and total fee needed
to pay is display on display unit (LCD).
