✨ Overview

The Automatic Car Parking System is an Arduino-based prototype designed to automate parking management for a 4-slot parking area. Using dual IR sensors, the system detects vehicle movement, controls a servo-operated barrier gate, updates parking availability on a 16×2 LCD display with an I2C module, and prevents vehicle entry when all parking slots are occupied.
