ABSTRACT

In this modern era, it has been very difficult for a driver to judge the distance between a
vehicle and obstacle while parking in a blind spot areas like garage. The driver should be
aware of the surroundings in order to park a vehicle safely without any damage. But
without any guidance it will be difficult for a driver to judge the distance manually which
in most of the cases ends up in a collision. This causes damage of property and
sometimes leads to the injuries to the people. In this proposed work, a Parking Assistance
system is introduced to avoid the collision between a vehicle and an obstacle while
parking in a blind spots. While parking, the System detects the presence of obstacles and
alerts the driver accordingly.
The proposed Parking Assistance System aids drivers in safely parking in blind spots, like
garages, by detecting obstacles and alerting them. Using an ultrasonic sensor, the system
calculates the distance between the vehicle and nearby obstacles, with an Arduino board
managing the data. LEDs indicate zones, an LCD displays distance, and a buzzer sounds
when the vehicle is too close. Wall-mounted for easy setup, this system reduces manual
effort, saves time, and helps prevent collisions, damage, and accidents during parking

1.INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Embedded systems are specialized computing systems designed to perform

dedicated functions or tasks within larger mechanical or electrical systems.
Unlike general-purpose computers, which can run a variety of applications,
embedded systems are optimized for specific control applications, often
integrating hardware and software components in a single package. These
systems are pervasive in modern technology, found in everyday devices such
as household appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, industrial
machines, and consumer electronics
.

Benefits of Using Embedded Systems in Projects:

Efficiency: Optimized for specific tasks, leading to faster
performance. Cost- Effectiveness: Reduced overall costs through
integrated hardware and software
Compact Design: Smaller size, ideal for space-constrained
applications.
Real-Time Operation: Meets strict timing requirements for critical
tasks
Flexibility and Scalability: Can be easily upgraded or modifi

6.CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

In this project, we have developed a prototype of PAS. Based on the results, it can
be concluded that the system, which is explained in the paper is user friendly and can be
easily installed in the blind spot areas like garage. The efficiency of the system to avoid
the collision between a vehicle and an obstacle during parking is high and effective. The
ultrasonic sensor detects the objects and measures the distance accurately by the results
based on the table 5.1. The distance displayed on the LCD screen helps the driver to
reduced the manual efforts to judge the distance. While parking, the LED’s are useful in
guiding the driver about the respective zones of the vehicle. The buzzer plays an
important as the anti-collision object as it warns the driver or the people present around
the vehicle through a loud noise when the vehicle is too close to the obstacle. Hence,
Parking Assistance System is effective in guiding and assisting the driver to park a vehicle
safely without any collisions or damages while parking in a blind spot areas like garage.

In the future, the parking system developed in this project can be extended by
making the brakes of the vehicle automated by making a connection between the parking
system and brake system. The system should be designed in such away that if the vehicle
is still in motion even when the buzzer is activated, then the brakes should be applied
automatically when it receives a signal from the parking system
