This paper present the design and implementation of a smart
parking lot. The design involves three
parking lots and a prototype parking environment constructed with wood. The
design was achieved by programming a PIC 16f84a using C program that receives
its input from different infrared ray sensor located at the different entrance
of the parking lots, then processes the input and sends the output to a seven
segment display LCD. The design is a prototype that is intended to solve the
issues of proper parking in urban areas, business centers, and University
environment. It reduce the stress caused by indiscriminate parking of cars and
any form of danger or insecurity to cars and owners. The prototype design was
simulated in Proteus environment and then implemented. The results obtained
indicates that parking of cars in urban areas, business center and University
environment could be controlled and indiscriminate parking and theft of cars
could be eliminated.
