Implementation of automated parking gate controller using Raspberry Pi

In this project a new design for an automated parking gate system is presented. A Broadcom based SOC (system on chip) is the brain of this system. This configuration reduces the human effort to open and to close the parking gate and eliminates conventional physical devices such as knobs, button, and clicker. Raspberry Pi is the system on chip used in this design with an Integrated Development Environment and Python programming language. Ultrasonic and Infrared sensors are used to detect the presence of an object and movement which help the SOC processor in making a decision. As a security measure, the Wi-Fi enabled communication is used in the design and utilized in the operation of the controller. The implementation of the design is adaptable to different controllers and is not limited to a particular type of controller. Implementing this model in the real life situation is simple.
