Car Wash Deterrent System

The objective of the Car Wash Project is to prevent people from using self serve open wash bays for long periods of time without payment, which costs car wash owners considerable revenue. The solution proposed by the team is designing a universal car wash deterrent system that can be customized to multiple different car wash designs and bay layouts. The deliverable is an installation kit that can be shipped and self-installed. The packaged kit will include an ultrasonic vehicle-detection sensor, an LED strobe light, an LED display board, and a water solenoid valve. If customers stay too long without paying, the strobe light will light up, and after a set countdown, the water valve will open and the sprinklers will turn on.Everything needed for the system will be included in the installation kit other than piping, cables, and wires. The team has successfully combined all the separate components into one operational circuit as well as getting the most suitable products for the device so it can run at optimal efficiency. We will display the installation kit, how the system operates, along with a schematic of electronics.
