ParkPulse
Real-time IoT smart parking and access control system.
ParkPulse is an IoT-based intelligent parking and access control system developed to reduce manual parking management and traffic congestion using multi-sensor fusion with radar and ultrasonic sensing.
The system integrates a cloud-based web dashboard for live slot occupancy visualization and an automated servo-driven barrier gate that locks out vehicles when the parking lot reaches maximum capacity.
Features
Smart Slot Detection
Detects vehicle presence using radar and ultrasonic inputs to improve parking slot accuracy.
Live Dashboard
Shows parking slot occupancy in real time through a cloud-connected web dashboard.
Automated Barrier
Controls entry with an SG90 servo gate and blocks access automatically when the lot is full.
Components Used
Controller
Raspberry Pi used as the main controller for sensor processing, dashboard communication, and gate logic.
Sensors
HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and radar module used together for multi-sensor parking detection.
Communication
HTTP/S, UART, SPI, and I2C used for cloud data transfer and hardware communication.
