This is a perfectly crafted wooden model which stimulates the parking process of a car in real life. To spice it up, we’ve made the model car park automatically by making use of a motor to start it and an ultrasonic sensor to detect the distance between the car and the obstruction so that it stops at an appropriate distance just as the real automobile does.Furthermore, it can also act as a auto-delivery tool where the users can put items they want to deliver on top of the car (or link them with the car), start it, and then the items will be delivered right in front of another person.
Why did we make it?We've originally decided to work on this project since we're curious about how the automobile's parking radar work and want to design one on our own.
How does it work?We use the ultrasonic ranger module, 4-digit display, and the buzzer while building our car. The ultrasonic ranger is in the front of the car, which allows it to detect the distance from any obstacles. The distance data is transferred to the buzzer and the 4-digit display. The 4-digit display will then display the distance in centimeters, and if the distance is less than 20 centimeters, the buzzer will be turned on. When the car is too close to an obstacle, the car will automatically stop. The frequency of the buzzer will increase while the distance decrease. For our car, we laser cut wood boards to build its body, and we put wheels and motor on the car so it will move in a constant speed without us pushing it. In addition, the entire radar is activated by a switch, just like the reversing system in an actual car. The radar will only be activated when the switch is turned on, and a car’s reversing radar will only be turned on once it is in the “R” mode.
