Project ParkingC
Goal
"Make a low cost, fully automatic available parking detector framework."
Goals
- User friendly android app
- cheap captor
- open source project
Why
It is a good solution to solve the problems of parking in the big cities and especially in Brussel.
This project will go through 3 phases:
Phase 1: Make a working prototype
Phase 2: Create an Android Software
Phase 3: Link the prototype captor and the app
We are now at the beginning of phase 1.
Description
Hardware
Captor
Arduino prototype+GPS+Ultrasound captor
http://xv4y.radioclub.asia/2013/04/12/mesure-de-distances-avec-un-capteur-ultrason-et-un-arduino/
A solution with one CPU and a battery of captors can be developed later.
Arduino and electronics
http://playground.arduino.cc/Tutorials/GPS
Hardware mods still to do
...
Software
The android app is developed with Eclipse Java and the plug-in for android. The lay-out is written in XML.
Software to do
- Application on Android with Eclipse to detect on an API google map the free parking.
- Software with Arduino to detect a free parking with a captor with gps and ultrasound.
Results
A car will park on the place and the detector will detect if the place is available or not. The user in the car will use on an android phone to check the availability of parking place around the car with a map app.

In order to compile this program with Arduino 1.0.1, you will need to install 2 libraries : - New LiquidCrystal
