Parking Assistant
Parking Assistant
The Parking Assistant is a stop light that hangs on the front wall of a garage. It senses a vehicle coming into the garage and displays a green light. As the car gets closer to the wall, the yellow light comes on, warning the driver to slow down. Finally, the red light signals that the driver is close enough to the wall and should stop. This makes for a perfect park every time!
At The Parking Assistant's heart is a stop light made
using three night lights
attached to extension cords with generic light switches in them.
This allows three servos to individually turn each light on as the vehicle gets
closer to the wall. A proximity sensor indicates when a vehicle is
coming towards the garage wall.
