DESIGN AND MODELLING OF AUTOMATED SHED FOR VEHICLE PROTECTION AND SPACE UTILISATION

The proliferation in the number of vehicles has led to increase in parking problems. This is due to the fact that the current transportation infrastructure and car park facility developed are unable to cope with the influx of vehicles. This problem persists in the residential areas as well. The proposed project thus aims at the design and fabrication of an automated shed that makes proper utilisation of space and provides protection to the vehicle. The shed is electrically powered and consists of components like motor, actuator, fibre sheet and RFID reader, RFID writer, RFID barcode scanner. Programming is done by using Arduino Software, which supports timely movements of the shed i.e. folding and unfolding with car movement which is detected by unique feature of RFID Technology. 3D modelling and its Stress analysis of the prototype is done using Creo Parametric 2.0 and ANSYS Workbench 16 respectively.
