ABSTRACT

nowadays, bar code has been widely used for variety purpose like car parking ticket and price tag. its advantages are low cost, easy to implement, accuracy and easy to integrate with other software or applications. for this final year project, it will use bar code as the main feature. this project entitles Development of parking system using a bar code. none of us is untouched with irritating parking problems. this system is designed to park vehicles by circulating cage. it is also a simple one-touch control. furthermore, it completely equipped with safety devices commonly known as mini rotary type, this system is designed to park vehicles by vertically circulating cage in left-right direction. the aim of this project are to create a systematic method of parking cars by using a bar code (ticket) then automatically bring the cars to the owner after they scan the ticket. the car will move on the conveyor due to bar code ticket to exit. it is easy to install in left-over space or small area and it free from breakdowns because of the simple circular rotation type mechanism. there is no need of special staff for management because the facility can be run directly by automatically.

this is the best method to ensure that the parking system will be able to save time as well. depending on the application, time savings can be significant. this project will be used a visual basic programming as an instruction to control the parking system of bar code. other than that, by improving the operational efficiency, it can move quickly and be tracked precisely using the conveyor. the main focus of the study parking system bar code will be proposed, tested, and applied to the analysis and design of the parking system. my expectation in this project is to ensure the parking system using bar code will directly circulate in the cage whereby the visual basic software is used as the controller and meets my objectives above.

OBJECTIVE

this research study intends of parking car using bar code system. the objectives are:

• to save user time and energy
• to ease the consumer for unnecessary to access the parking area
• to control of vehicle flows by entering and exit the parking area
• automatic operation of entrance and exit the cars
• safety

DIAGRAM & CHART

LAYOUT FOR PARKING SYSTEM

picture above shows the layout for parking system using bar code. the process of the parking system is:

1. get bar code
2. car is automatically park by the conveyor
3. scan bar code
4. car return to the owner

WORK PLAN

the table above shows the work plan for two semester which is semester 6 doing final year project 1, and semester 7 doing final year project 2. this work plan from July 2012 until may 2013.

DISADVANTAGES OF BAR CODE

pricing issues
pricing discrepancies can result if store employees forget to code in discount prices. customer and clerks at the check-out then have to deal wit correcting the situation.

damaged labels
bar code readers cannot read labels that are wrinkled, dirty or smudged.

ADVANTAGES OF BAR CODE

it's easy to see why barcodes are a much more effective and easy method of tracking inventory and pricing product, whether there are a few, a few hundred, or a few thousand, they offer automatic product identification, extremely fast recognition and implementation of data, a very low error rate, are extremely cost effective, and can assist employers with lowering overhead and cutting down on training time and labor. the modern world demands that companies stay ahead of the competition and keep up the pace when it comes to modern technology in business. using barcodes is a very integral piece of the inventory tracking process that offers up countless benefits to both the company and its customers.

CAR PARKING SYSTEM

A car parking system is a mechanical device that multiplies parking capacity inside a parking lot. Parking systems are generally powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles into a storage position.
There are two types of car parking systems: traditional and automated. In the long term, automated car parking systems are likely to be more cost effective when compared to traditional parking garages. Automatic multi-storey automated car park systems are less expensive per parking slot, since they tend to require less building volume and less ground area than a conventional facility with the same capacity. Both automated car parking systems and automated parking garage systems reduce pollution — cars are not running or circling around while drivers look for parking spaces.

Automated Car Parking System

Automated car parking systems use a similar type of technology to that used for mechanical parcel handling and document retrieval. The driver leaves the car inside an entrance area and technology parks the vehicle at a designated area. Hydraulic or mechanical car lifters raise the vehicle to another level for proper storing. The vehicle can be transported vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left and right) to a vacant parking space until the car is needed again. When the vehicle is needed, the process is reversed and the car lifts transport the vehicle back to the same area where the driver left it. In some cases, a turntable may be used to position the car so that the driver can conveniently drive away without the need to back up.

INTRODUCTION TO BAR CODE

A bar code reader (or bar code scanner) is an electronic device for reading printed barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the bar code's image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.

Bar code readers can be differentiated by technology as follows:

• Pen-type readers
• Laser scanners
• CCD readers
• Camera-based readers
• Omni-directional bar code scanner
