OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT: The project was an attempt to provide a solution to the perennial problem of parking of vehicles. Due to increase in the population of the urban areas, especially metropolitan cities and more and more people using cars and other vehicles, parking of these is a very big problem. So, this project was an attempt in the same direction, that is, an automated car parking which is a feasible solution. The objective of this project was therefore to keep a check on the number of vehicles entering and leaving the parking by appropriate sensors and displaying the same on the seven segment display. This project was initiated to enable the person in the car to know whether there is a vacant slot inside or not. This will help him …show more content…
It is a common knowledge that the number of vehicles are increasing day by day because more people can afford them and of course it is an inevitable part of the changing lifestyles. In every family there is at least one car and in some of the cases there is one car per member. As there can be no limits on the number of cars, the traffic in public places is bound to increase and this has given rise to so many parking related issues. C.E.2.3.3 I also understood that although most of the places have private parking owned by the builders who have hired number of employees for collecting parking charges on hourly basis yet there is always a problem of putting a check on the number of vehicles already present inside. Automated car parking is a practical solution to this problem. C.E.2.3.4 Automatic car parking system is a very good substitute for car parking. Space is a big constraint today and in this age of miniaturization, it is necessary to avoid the wastage of space anywhere. C.E.2.3.5 I then took an account of the features that would be required for the circuit that I had to solder. I found the main features as …show more content…
Microcontrollers are more economically viable to digitally control more devices and processes than designs that operate using isolated memory, microprocessors and input/output devices. The cost and size also make the microcontroller more feasible. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, as it integrates analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems. C.E.2.3.13 My selection of 8051 microcontroller was on the basis of following features: Speed, packaging, power consumption, RAM & ROM, I/O pins, chip timer, ease of up gradation to higher performance versions, cost per unit. Availability of a debugger, an emulator, a C- language compiler which is code-efficient, an assembler, and obviously technical support. It should be readily available. In fact the 8051 is the most procurable 8-bit microcontroller. C.E.2.3.14 The circuit diagram I have shown against C.E.2.3.6 is of the sensing module. The comparator (op-amp) shown gives zero output in the absence of any input (car). When light falls on the phototransistor from the car, there is decrease in resistance. Thus there is a net input directly conveyed from the potentiometer to the positive terminal of the op-amp. The net output thus produced gives the corresponding
The cost of these two hundred or so signs is close to seventy-eight thousand dollars. The money from the passes could be used for this expense as well. Although residents of Riverbank may object to the signs and call them nonsense, they will help the tourists know they cannot park in certain places. If a person is found parking on the street without a parking pass, they will be subject to a fifty dollar fine. Police will be very important in this aspect and will patrol the city everyday just like normal, but they will also be looking for this
The infrastructure in West Main Street is not dissimilar to City Road in regards to the street bollards which have been introduced to stop vehicles parking on the pavements. Pedestrian islands are another similarly regular sight throughout the street. (‘The Street’, 2009, Scene 1) Both these material things are there to ensure the safety and ease of pedestrians while drivers may find these a nuisance as they are restricted to the small amount of parking bays along the street instead of parking on the pavement for convenience, consequently resulting in an inequality amid the public. There is a steady flow of traffic through the street of which most are cars but there are a lot of busses as well. The busses seem to be in favour of...
Over the past few years, the parking control office has been expanded and made more efficient by the addition of computers and the implementation of new filing procedures. Unfortunately, the department is still not providing the services it is capable of. This is due to the fact that the parking control office is under staffed in respect to counter attendants. This lack of sufficient people to work the front counter causes the process of appealing and paying parking tickets to become extremely bogged down. This proposal provides a cost effective solution to the problem that will not only help parking control, but will also benefit anyone doing business with the office.
Eran Ben-Joseph, a Professor and Head of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, did a research on the urban driving style. Joseph has come to a conclusion stating that American tends to speed more time behind the wheel, while searching for a parking spot. Joseph also stated that parking lots tend to “cover more than a third of the land area, becoming the single most salient landscape features of our built environment.” Finding parking spots is one of the major problems, and it is one of the primary sources of waste of fuel for many in the urban areas. The need for parking spots has been significantly increasing in the recent years. According to Joseph, Americans spend more than 250 hours a yearly behind the wheel,, and 40 percent of the total gasoline are wasted while searching for parking. Self-driving car’s vehicle-to-vehicle communication is one of the major effective features for transportation. These features will enable self-driving vehicles to communicate with one another and provide real-time status information about their surrounding. This feature is believed to decrease the number of hours and energy wasted while searching for parking significantly. If one car is looking for parking, it will send a status to its surrounding cars with the same features. If these cars find a parking spot, they will send back the position of availability of parking. With these kinds of algorithms, it will most likely help the environment to become safer. In addition, the vehicle-to-vehicle communication feature will be an important factor when it comes to collision avoidance. As each car can sends out data about their position, speed, break status, and additional such data to the other vehicles within a specific distance, there will be much more efficient and people will have a safe
The first area that I want to cover is CPUs. This diagram above shows a comparison for different file server CPUs. The major reason or question behind getting a CPU for a file server is, “What is the CPU going to be doing?” This means that the CPU must be able to handle whatever the server is processing. Another question a business should ask is, “What price are we willing to pay?” A files server needs to be able to keep up with the tasks that are going to
Parking on campus needs improving. Students entering the university are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering parking posses a problem on campus. The campus is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students before them are faced with the dilemma of how many new freshmen will be bringing a car to school.
Its Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor is remarkable for good performance and visuals. It enables the user to feel and see in high definition and 3D; and gives room for multitasking and media. The thrilling speeds are modeled for smooth and seamless games, photos and movies. The chip has a transistor count of 1.4 billion and a die size that is 177 square millimeters. Additionally, it has an incorporated processor graphics, and a dual-channel DDR3 support of up to 1600MHz (Williams & Sawyer, 2010).
Some people believe that the benefits of the automobile far outweigh the consequences. These people enjoy their privacy and the convenience of the automobile. There are no schedules to keep track of. A person can come and go from a destination at their own free will. They also have the ability to travel and see scenery that people limited to public transportation cannot. Today there is about one car on the road for every person of driving age in the United States. People for alternative forms of transportation think that people who support cars should be penalized for using them. They believe that they should pay more taxes for the convenience of owning an automobile. In Europe, anti-auto policies are in effect and Europeans still buy cars. James Q. Wilson in "Cars and Their Enemies" gives the example, "Despite policies that penalize car use, make travel expensive, and restrict parking spaces, Europeans, once they can afford to do so, buy cars, and drive them" (306). Cars are just too convenient to get rid of.
For formulating a more efficient transport pattern, there are some specific strategies. Firstly, government can encourage people to pay more attention to public transit. The actual data about transit use from most cities indicates that transit use is growing in many cities, in addition, some developed cities have been reducing their car use and pay more attention to the public transport (Newman, 1999). Encouraging urban citizens use more public transit is effective in reducing the quantity of private cars. It is generally known that private cars have brought great pressure on urban traffic. Secondly, government can restrict cars based on the “odd-and-even l...
More efficient parking, reduced costs.Highly reduced parking costs because of availability of automatic driver to park at emptier places and pick up at moment’s notice.
We all use vehicles for transportation. People usually go to their desired destination either by driving their own cars or traveling in public transportation. Actually, it might be tough to choose that which one is the best selection for people to travel. Many people choose one of them according to their comfort while traveling and both of them have advantages and disadvantages in different conditions. Public transportation and driving own car both shares differences and similarities in many aspects, such as facility, cost, and comfort as well as traffic jam and accident occurrence.
On the contrary, using private car is the same convenience of travelling as public transport. When people are in a hurry, they can suddenly go ev...
So we are going to design a system which aims to improve parking facilities by the introduction of a smart car parking system. The system will automatically assign a vacant space to the patrons for parking their vehicles. The patron will be guided to the specified location by referring to variable message sign and the map and the location printed on the parking ticket, in which the whole process is monitored by a central computer to store and update the occupancy status of available parking space vacancies in the database.
The computer has progressed in many ways, but the most important improvement is the speed and operating capabilities. It was only around 6 years ago when a 386 DX2 processor was the fastest and most powerful CPU in the market. This processor could do a plethora of small tasks and still not be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is
People nowadays are always in a hurry. Some drivers want to pick up passengers whenever they have the opportunity to do so. The roads are clogged because of too many old buses
