AU Automatic Car-Parking Modeling System

This article presents the AU Automatic Car-Parking Modeling System, hereafter referred to as the AU-CPS. The AU-CPS is a model of an automatic parking system controlled by PLC. It interacts with the user via HMI, driven by three DC motors with the use of photo-electric sensors. A crane is used to lift and take the car from an initial to parking slot and from a parking slot to the exit way. The AU-CPS also shows whether parking is full or not by turning on an LED, and it uses sensors to detect the car in the slot to avoid overlapping in each slot.
