Development of a Parking System Simulation in the Basement of the Integrated Lecture Building at Manado State Polytechnic with Human Machine Interface (HMI)

Abstract

This study aims to design and implement a simulation of an automated parking system controlled by a Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the basement of the Integrated Lecture Building at Politeknik Negeri Manado. The research was conducted in the Mechatronics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politeknik Negeri Manado, using an experimental method. The stages of the study included system design, HMI programming using NB-Designer, and component testing involving an Omron PLC, Haiwell HMI, proximity sensors, and a DC gearbox motor.The simulation results show that the HMI-based system is capable of managing vehicle access with an average response time of 3.3 seconds. Additionally, the system improves parking efficiency by reducing the average time required to find a parking slot from 5 minutes to 1 minute. These findings demonstrate that implementing HMI technology in parking systems can provide an effective solution for enhancing traffic management and operational efficiency in basement parking facilities.
