Design and implementation of a parking gate controller using atmega3289 microcontroller

The objective of this project is to design a cost effective Parking gate controller for a sliding gate. Atmel based microcontroller is used to control the whole operation. The parking gate controller system has to auto detect the automobile and open the gate if it is moving out of the parking lot or use a RF remote to open the gate. If the automobile is moving inside the parking lot, then RF remote is used to control the gate operation. An obstacle sensor is used to detect the presence of the obstacles in the way of the gate. When the gate is closing from an open position and if there is any obstacle in its way then the obstacle sensor detects it, the controller opens the gate. The system is designed using Arduino microcontroller embedded system and the design is done using its Integrated Development Environment and embedded C. The design presented in this project is flexible for any of the microcontroller family not just restricting it to the Arduino embedded system. Easy installation and working procedure are explained in this project.
