I designed and implemented an Automated Garage System that simplifies and automates the process of vehicle parking and retrieval using embedded systems and sensors.
The system is built around an Arduino Mega and uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect approaching vehicles, a servo motor to control the garage door, a rain sensor for environmental awareness, and a manual push button for user control. The solution improves convenience, safety, and automation in smart parking environments.
➡️ What I Built
✔ Automatic garage door control system
✔ Vehicle detection using an ultrasonic sensor
✔ Servo-based door opening and closing mechanism
✔ Rain detection for environmental monitoring
✔ Manual override using push button
✔ Audio-visual feedback using LEDs and a buzzer
➡️ System Overview
• The ultrasonic sensor continuously monitors the distance in front of the garage
• When a vehicle approaches within a predefined range, the system is triggered
• The Arduino Mega verifies availability and commands the servo motor to open the garage door
• The rain sensor detects weather conditions to enhance system awareness
• A push button allows manual opening or closing of the garage door
• A buzzer and LEDs provide system status and alerts
➡️ Key Features
• Automatic vehicle detection
• Smart garage door control using a servo motor
• Rain detection for environmental safety
• Manual override control
• Audible alerts via 5V buzzer
• Reliable Arduino Mega-based architecture
• Ideal for smart homes and automated parking systems
