A Noval Design of Automatic Parallel Parking System for Nonholonomic Mobile Robot

The present work reflects the designing of backward and obstacle detection automatic parallel parking system for nonholonomic mobile robot. Computer-controlled sensors find open parking spaces based on their estimation of the proximity of other vehicles. Once an open space is detected, it directs the vehicle's steering wheel to Parallel Park the car. The driver controls the speed of the car via the gas and brake pedals; the maneuvering of the vehicle into the parking space is done by the car itself. It requires precise maneuvers and distance estimations. The parking place, needs to be plotted on the internal map which is the objective of this work. For the said process ultrasonic sensor and rotary encoder respectively used to detect parking area and measure the detected space. An ARM7TDMI processor is used in order to generate the algorithm and control the movement of the mobile robot. System implementation is briefly described to depict the system as a whole. The results are clearly presented to show the validity of work.
