DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND SIMULATION OF AN ON-BOARD CAR PARKING AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
Abstract
The authors of this paper developed a concept that can be used for automatically car parking; the concept is based on finding the obstacle free spaces around the vehicle and it uses methods to guiding the car in an available found parking place. The car sensing system includes ultrasonic sensors to measure distances, proximity sensors to detect obstacles and a rotative position sensor to measure the vehicle displacements. A microcontroller based central processing unit (CPU) was used to process sensorsпїЅ information and to generate commands. The structure of the on-board parking system is discussed and the main blocks are described and designed. A mobile robot was taken into consideration as a support for implementing the proposed parking system and its structure is described. The associated software system was designed to implement rules that are used to move and park the vehicle. This is detailed together with the rules used in пїЅclassicalпїЅ parking cases: lateral parking, backward parking, right wall parallel positioning, stop when an obstacle is detected etc.
