A Parking Assistant System for Residential Applications

Considering the increasing demand of automobiles, the chances of accidents occurring have also increased. Accidents that happen during parking are rife nowadays. To prevent accidents at home when parking a vehicle in the garage, a Parking Assistant System is designed to provide guidance to the driver to park safely. In the design of this project, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), LEDs, Buzzer, Ultrasonic sensor, ATMega328 microcontroller and Arduino Uno microcontroller board are used. The device measures the distance between the front end of a vehicle and the garage wall. LED lighting is used to alert the driver to stop before collision occurs during parking inside the home garage. The driver is also be able to set the warning distance to accommodate different lengths of car sizes inside the garage at home. The driver will use a laptop with Arduino IDE to set the alarm or warning distance when necessary.
