Abstract

Nowadays our parking need to be more secured with more space for more cars, so our project is a great opportunity to better use our space of land to make spaces for more cars to park, our prototype can be turned into real project either underground or on the ground, both ways have some advantages and disadvantages, but the underground design is better because we can build a building like a mall on the top of the parking and the cars will be parked underground.
Our prototype is smart; it doesn’t need any humans or workers involved, only for maintenance of the system component. The Parking is divided into 5 floors and each floor has 8 cells. The customer drives the car to the entrance of the parking, and the systems with the actuators takes the car to a specific cell in the parking and provide the user with an ID and a password for his car so he can take back the car with the ID and a password
A mobile application is used to give the customer the ability to
reserve a cell in the parking in advance, the customer also can see the available cells on the application receives a password for his car which will be used to verify the identity
