Moving towards the development of smart city, Car parking has been and still is a growing problem with increasing vehicles. This is especially true when bearing in mind the confined parking spaces in parking lots and cities. A multi-level car parking is essentially a building with number of floors or layers for the cars to be parked. The different levels are accessed through interior or exterior ramps. An automated car parking has mechanized lifts which transport the car to the different levels at a certain position. These car parks need less building volume and less ground space and thus save on the cost of the building.

This project deals with the manufacture of a Prototype of a Self Parking System which is a mechanical device that multiplies parking capacity inside a parking lot. The driver leaves the car inside an entrance area and technology parks the vehicle at a designated area. Hydraulic or mechanical car lifters raise the vehicle to another level for proper storing.

Difficulty in Finding Vacant Spaces Quickly.Finding spaces during weekends or public holidays can take more than 10 minutes for about 66% of visitors. Stadiums or shopping malls are crowded at peak periods, and difficulty in finding vacant slots at these places is a major problem for customers. Insufficient car park spaces \ lead to traffic congestion and driver frustration.

If a car is parked in such a way that it occupies two parking slots rather than one, this is called improper parking. Improper parking can happen when a driver is not careful about another driver’s rights.

 To develop an intelligent, user friendly automated car parking system which reduces the manpower and traffic congestion.

 To offer safe and secure parking slots within limited area.
