Smart parking lots application using CAN network

Abstract

The parking system is the important component of Transportation System. At present, Parking is inadequate in many cities in Viet Nam. The number of vehicles has grown dramatically may make the transportation get worse and therefore a system which can control the number of vehicles get in and get out a parking station is require. CAN-bus (controller area network) is a standard bus designed for many microcontrollers and devices communicate with each other without a host computer. CAN is now use in many areas such as industrial automation, medical equipment…With

PIC microcontrollers( PIC 18f458) , CAN controller (MCP 2515) and detection Sensors

in market, this project aims to build a system to detect accurate and reliable the number of vehicles available in a parking lot. This is a big project, so my work is to build two circuits that can connect with each other through CAN network.
