CAR

Idea:

• Create an attractive experience for users to play with an interactive toy car park.

Features:

• Parking system:

  • Installed 6 IR sensor modules to create a simple parking system to show whether the car park is full. And provide instructions that the position can provide drivers for parking.

  • Logic: There are many ways to show and indicate the status of the parking positions. Showing which position is empty? Which is full? Or show all the statuses at the same time? Considering in most of the situations drivers only have a short time to read the data on the board. The way I show the recommendation parking position is the fastest way for them.

  • Start from P2(the nearest position from the entrance). Check P2 signal was occupied then check P3 was occupied or not then recommend to P3. P2→P3→P4→P5→P6→P7, finally check all the signals, to show "All full" when it's all occupied.

• Lift:

  • Originally there was just an on-off button for the lift continuously rotate to bring the cars up. By connecting the motor to Arduino with an IR sensor, there is a feature that only runs the lift when there is a car crossed by.
