Abstract
This paper explains the Design and Fabrication of Pneumatic Car Park Gate with Automatic Counter. The proposed system is primarily significant to those in the car park business where improvement of services and facilities are being considered. The proposed project hopes to deliver a car park bar that is pneumatically operated. This project study was conducted with the following objectives. First is to develop a pneumatic car park gate equipped with automatic counter. Second is to identify the following materials needed for the project. Third is to know the efficiency of the project. Fourth is to determine practicality of developing the project on the following aspects of monetary consideration, product efficiency, durability and customers’ satisfaction. Last is to be able to come up with a comprehensive report that would benefit those with common interest. Development of the pneumatic car park gate with sensor is feasible and timely. The automated parking system is considered beneficial for the Car park operators, patrons as well as in environment conservation. Integration of automatic counter in the proposed project is a plus factor for it provides the parking system effective monitoring of free spaces. Vehicles detection sensors are commonly installed at entrances, exits and or individual parking space to detect vehicle occupancy. Indicator lights integrated with sensors are also sometimes installed at every individual parking space within the parking facility. The occupancy status detected by the sensors can either be occupancy of each individual parking space or in terms of vehicle counts in the car park depending on the installation of the sensors. Data gathered in various trials conducted for efficiency testing of the proposed pneumatic car park gate yielded a numerical value of 96.67%, high mark efficiency.
