[0021] The present invention relates to a vehicle maintenance and parking management system that is capable of detecting the presence of snow or dust on the vehicle’s roof and body frame and taking the necessary steps for removing the snow and dust thereby maintaining the vehicle's cleanliness.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a vehicle maintenance and parking management system is illustrated, comprising a garage enclosure 101 installed with a platform 102, a first motorized slider 103 mounted on an inner wall of the enclosure 101 and attached with a L-shaped telescopic link 104 having a cuboidal member 105, a two-axis motorized slider 106 containing multiple hydraulic pushers 107, a plurality of first motorized rollers 108 mounted on the platform 102, motorized wheels 109 to allow movement of the platform 102, a rotatable AI-enabled camera unit 110 integrated within the enclosure 101, a second motorized slider 111 is mounted on the ceiling and integrated with a U-shaped unit 112, a temperature-controlled air blower 113 provided on the U-shaped unit 112, second motorized roller 114 to deploy a heat mat 115, an L-shaped rod 116, a hydraulic plunger 117 attached with a V-type plate 118, a vertically mounted panel 119 installed near the walls supported by extendable sliding rails 120, a mesh frame 121 attached to a front perimeter of the panel 119, a pair of motorized sliding rails 122 are configured on both lateral sides of the panel 119, an extendable arm 123 attached within the enclosure 101 via a third motorized slider 124, a sensing module 125 is integrated with tip of the arm 123, a microphone 126 is embedded within the enclosure 101, a holographic projection unit 127 is mounted on the cuboidal member 105, a plurality of exhaust channels 128 provided with the enclosure 101, pair of telescopic poles 129 equipped with a pair of motorized clippers 130, a speaker 131 operatively connected with the panel 119.

[0023] The system disclosed herein employs a garage enclosure 101 that is installed with a platform 102. The platform 102 is configured for managing parking, diagnostics, cleaning, and maintenance of a vehicle parked within the enclosure 101. This platform 102 is typically constructed from material that include but not limited to high-strength materials such as reinforced steel or durable aluminum alloys, which provide a robust and resilient enclosure 101 capable of withstanding physical impacts and environmental stressors.

[0024] For activating the system, the user needs to press a push button which is arranged on the enclosure 101 which in turn activates all the related components for performing the desired task. After pressing the button, a closed electrical circuit is formed and current starts to flow that powers an inbuilt microcontroller to allow all the linked components to perform their respective task upon actuation.

[0025] The user accesses a user-interface that is inbuilt in a computing unit for providing commands for parking of vehicle inside the enclosure 101. The user input commands through the keyboard or touch interactive display panel of the computing unit that is transmitted to the microcontroller through a communication module. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing systems to exchange information over short or long distances.

[0026] On an inner wall of the enclosure 101, a first motorized slider 103 is mounted and attached with a L-shaped telescopic link 104 having a cuboidal member 105 at a top end. This cuboidal member 105 is configured with a two-axis motorized slider 106 containing multiple hydraulic pushers 107 that exert controlled force on a rear portion of the vehicle for accurate positioning onto the platform 102. The first motorized slider 103 that is installed on the inner wall of the enclosure 101 consist of a sliding rail and a motorized slidable member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slidable member is attached to the wall of enclosure 101 and sliding rail on both sides to make the telescopic link 104 slide. The slidable member is attached to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner.

[0027] The two-axis motorized slider 106 mounted on the cuboidal member 105 of the L-shaped telescopic link 104 allows precise, multi-directional movement along two perpendicular axes, typically horizontal and vertical that is facilitated by integrated motor. This configuration enables fine control over the position of the cuboidal member 105, allowing it to move smoothly and accurately across the defined axes within the enclosure 101. The hydraulic pushers 107 attached to the cuboidal member 105 of the two-axis motorized slider 106 operate by utilizing pressurized hydraulic fluid to generate controlled linear force. Each pusher 107 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder, which contains a piston that moves in response to the hydraulic pressure supplied through a sealed arrangement controlled by valve and pump. When activated, the hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder, pushing the piston outward, thereby exerting a precise and adjustable force on the rear portion of the vehicle for accurate positioning onto the platform 102.

[0028] For guiding the vehicle into a designated location within the garage, a plurality of first motorized rollers 108 is mounted on the platform 102. The first motorized roller 108 integrates an electric motor within the cylindrical body for guiding the vehicle. When powered, the motor generates rotational force, which drives the roller 108. They operate using direct current (DC) motors and controlled in groups for precise movement and speed regulation for guiding the vehicle into the designated location within the garage. The platform 102 includes motorized wheels 109 attached with hydraulic units to allow movement of the platform 102 to a target location. Each wheel is equipped with an independent motor, likely driven by motor driver circuit, enabling precise movement and directional control. The microcontroller sends pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals to regulate the speed and torque of each wheel based on real-time feedback from encoder.

[0029] Upon moving the platform 102 to the target location, the snow or dust on the vehicle roof and body frame is detected by a rotatable AI-enabled camera unit 110 that is integrated within the enclosure 101. The camera unit 110 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the enclosure 101, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the camera unit 110 in form of an optical data. The camera unit 110 also comprises of the processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and detects the presence of snow or dust on the vehicle roof and body frame.

[0030] A second motorized slider 111 is mounted on the ceiling and integrated with a U-shaped unit 112 connected via a motorized ball-and-socket joint. The second motorized slider 111 works in the similar manner as the first motorized slider 103. Upon detection of snow or dust over the vehicle the microcontroller actuates a temperature-controlled air blower 113 provided on the U-shaped unit 112 to blow warm air for cleaning the vehicle. Upon activation, the blower’s internal fan draws in ambient air through an intake vent, which then passes over a heating element, such as an electric resistor whose temperature is regulated by a thermostat linked to the microcontroller. The sensor continuously monitors the air temperature, ensuring it remains within a predefined safe and effective range for cleaning without causing damage. Once the desired temperature is achieved, the blower’s fan pushes the warm air through a nozzle directed at the vehicle’s surface, effectively blowing away snow or dust.

[0031] For detecting the wheel temperature of a vehicle entering the enclosure 101, a temperature sensor is configured within the platform 102. The temperature sensor functions by detecting the thermal radiation or conductive heat emitted by the vehicle's wheels as they enter the enclosure 101. When a wheel comes into contact or proximity with the sensor, the sensor's sensing element, such as a thermistor responds to the temperature change. For contact-based sensors like thermistors, the heat transfer occurs through direct contact, causing a change in their electrical resistance or voltage output proportional to the wheel's temperature.

[0032] Atleast one second motorized roller 114 is positioned at multiple parking zones of the enclosure 101. The second roller 114 work in the similar manner as the first motorized roller 108 as explained above and these rollers 114 are configured to deploy a heat mat 115 over a garage floor region designated for vehicle parking and the heat mat 115 is embedded with heating elements configured to melt snow and moisture from the vehicle’s wheels and floor area to reduce slipping hazards and corrosion. On left and right sides of the roller 114, a pair of telescopic poles 129 are configured where the poles 129 having top ends equipped with a pair of motorized clippers 130. The motorized clipper 130 works by using an electric motor connected to a sliding jaw via a screw. The motor provides power to the screw that is attached to the fixed frame of the clipper 130. As the screw rotates, it pushes or pulls the sliding jaw towards or away from the fixed jaw depending on the direction of rotation. These clippers 130 are actuated to align and fix the deployed heat mat 115 evenly on the garage floor during operation to ensure uniform coverage and effective melting of snow and ice.

[0033] A snow-clearing unit attached to a side wall of the garage via an L-shaped rod 116. The snow-clearing unit includes a hydraulic plunger 117 attached with a V-type plate 118. The hydraulic plunger 117 works in the similar manner as the hydraulic pusher 107 explained above. The plunger 117 is actuated by the microcontroller to provide thumping movement to the plate 118 followed by actuation of a heating unit integrated within the plate 118 to melt and remove accumulated snow from a garage entrance. The heating unit functions by converting electrical energy into thermal energy to generate heat. The heating unit typically consists of resistive heating elements attached to the surface of the plate 118. When the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the heating unit, electrical current flows through these resistive elements, causing them to heat up rapidly due to electrical resistance. The generated heat is transferred directly to the surface of the V-type plate 118, raising the temperature to melt accumulated snow.

[0034] A vertically mounted panel 119 is installed near the walls supported by extendable sliding rails 120 for enabling vertical motion. A mesh frame 121 is attached to a front perimeter of the panel 119 to guide and capture the rodents where a pair of motorized sliding rails 122 are configured on both lateral sides of the panel 119. The sliding rails 122 enabling upward and downward motion of the mesh frame 121 for capturing the rodents effectively. The mesh frame 121 serves as the guiding and capturing structure specifically designed for rodents. The primary function of the mesh frame 121 is to direct rodent towards the designated area. The mesh material allows for visibility and ventilation while preventing the rodents from escaping. The frame 121 is supported by the pair of motorized sliding rails 122 positioned on both lateral sides of the panel 119, which facilitate the upward and downward movement of the mesh frame 121. This vertical mobility enables precise positioning of the mesh to effectively trap the rodents, ensuring efficient operation.

[0035] Within the enclosure 101, an extendable arm 123 is attached via a third motorized slider 124 that is mounted on a wall of enclosure 101. The third motorized slider 124 works in the similar manner as the first motorized slider 103. A sensing module 125 is integrated with tip of the arm 123 for analyzing various mechanical and structural parameters of vehicle positioned over the platform 102. The sensing module 125 includes a laser sensor, an ultrasonic microphone and an infrared sensor. The microcontroller correlates the multi-sensor inputs to generate comprehensive maintenance suggestions, alerts, and vehicle readiness reports transmitted to a linked user’s computing unit. The laser sensor operates by emitting a focused laser beam towards the vehicle's surface to capture detailed geometric features. Utilizing the time-of-flight principle, it calculates the time taken for the laser light to reflect off the vehicle surface and return to the sensor, enabling precise 3D mapping and measurement of structural parameters.

[0036] The ultrasonic microphone detects high-frequency sound waves beyond the range of human hearing, capturing ultrasonic signals generated by the vehicle and the components. These signals reveal information about surface vibrations, structural flaws or anomalies such as micro-cracks or material inconsistencies. By converting ultrasonic waves into electrical signals, the sensor allows to analyze the vehicle’s structural health, providing insights into potential maintenance needs. The infrared sensor senses thermal radiation emitted or reflected by the vehicle’s surface, enabling non-contact thermal analysis. The sensor detects temperature variations across different parts of the vehicle, which indicate issues such as overheating, insulation faults, or abnormal surface conditions. By analyzing these thermal signatures, the sensor provides valuable data on the vehicle’s structural and mechanical state, allowing the microcontroller to incorporate thermal insights into comprehensive maintenance recommendations, alerts and vehicle readiness reports.

[0037] A microphone 126 is embedded within the enclosure 101 for receiving voice commands for parking assistance. The microphone 126 processes the voice command from the user for parking assistance by converting sound waves into electrical signals. The signals are analog in nature. These analog signals are then digitized using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for further processing. The digital data undergoes pre-processing, including noise reduction and filtering, to improve clarity by eliminating background noise. The cleaned signal is passed for speech recognition powered by artificial intelligence, which analyzes the input to detect keywords or phrases. Once recognized, the microcontroller maps the command and triggers the assistance in parking of the vehicle.

[0038] For projecting the directional light indicators onto garage floor or wall to guide the vehicle to a desired location, a holographic projection unit 127 is mounted on the cuboidal member 105. The holographic projection unit 127 creates three-dimensional image that appear to float in space by utilizing principles of light diffraction and interference which begins with a coherent light source splits into two beams which illuminates the recording medium. When these beams intersect, they create an interference pattern that encodes the light's amplitude and phase information on a medium like holographic film. To visualize the hologram, this recorded pattern is illuminated again with coherent light, recreating a light field that mimics the original object’s light field, allowing viewers to see a 3D image from various angles. Hence, guiding the vehicle to the desired location.

[0039] A MQ-7 gas sensor is installed within the enclosure 101 to detect elevated levels of carbon monoxide (CO). The MQ-7 gas sensor operates based on a tin dioxide (SnO₂) semiconductor sensing element whose electrical resistance varies in response to the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. When the sensor is powered, the heating element inside heats the SnO₂ layer to an optimal temperature, facilitating the adsorption of oxygen molecules onto the surface. In clean air, these oxygen molecules capture electrons from the semiconductor, forming negatively charged oxygen ions and increasing the resistance of the sensor. When CO gas enters the sensing chamber within the enclosure 101, it reacts with the adsorbed oxygen ions, removing them from the surface and releasing electrons back into the semiconductor material. This reaction reduces the sensor's resistance proportionally to the concentration of CO present. The sensor's output is typically a resistance value that is processed to determine the CO level, allowing for real-time detection of elevated CO concentrations within the enclosure 101.

[0040] Upon detection of CO levels above a predefined safety threshold, the microcontroller automatically actuates a plurality of exhaust channels 128 that is integrated with catalytic filters and provided with the enclosure 101 to convert the carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide prior to releasing filtered air into the environment. The multiple exhaust channels 128 integrated within the enclosure 101 are designed to effectively vent elevated levels of carbon monoxide (CO) detected by the sensor. When the microcontroller identifies CO concentrations exceeding the predefined safety threshold, it activates these exhaust channels 128, which are strategically positioned to facilitate efficient airflow out of the enclosure 101. Each exhaust channel 128 is equipped with catalytic filters containing materials such as platinum that catalyze the oxidation of CO into less harmful carbon dioxide (CO₂). As air is drawn through these catalytic filters, the chemical reaction occurs, converting CO molecules into CO₂ before the gases are expelled into the environment. This process ensures that harmful CO is mitigated internally, reducing the potential for environmental contamination and enhancing safety by releasing only cleaner, filtered air.

[0041] A speaker 131 is operatively connected with the panel 119. The speaker 131 is configured to emit a pre-defined frequency to attract rodents into the mesh during activation. The speaker 131 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker 131 consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, a varying magnetic field is generated by the coil that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. The movement of the diaphragm pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to emit a pre-defined frequency to attract rodents into the mesh.

[0042] A weather forecasting module is operatively linked with the microcontroller to receive external environmental temperature data and compare with internal garage temperature, expelling hot air and enabling airflow within the garage for temperature regulation. The weather forecasting module is designed to monitor and compare the external environmental temperature with the internal garage temperature. This module typically interfaces with a range of sensor, such as temperature sensor and humidity sensor, which are responsible for capturing real-time data from both inside and outside the garage. The temperature sensor functions by detecting the ambient temperature through thermocouple elements. In thermocouples, two dissimilar metals generate a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between them. When exposed to varying temperatures, the sensor produces a corresponding electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes this data and compares the data with the predefined threshold temperature values to determine whether the internal garage temperature exceeds or is below the desired range.

[0043] The humidity sensor detects the moisture content in the air by measuring the relative humidity (RH) within the garage environment. The sensor typically works using resistive sensing methods. The resistive sensor tracks the changes in the resistance of a conductive polymer that reacts to the presence of water vapor. The sensor converts the humidity level into an electrical signal, which is sent to the microcontroller for processing. This humidity data is important because the data helps to determine not just temperature but also the air moisture levels, allowing it to fine-tune ventilation strategies. When it detects that the internal temperature of the garage exceeds a predefined threshold relative to the external temperature, an action to expel hot air is triggered and airflow within the garage for temperature regulation is enabled.

[0044] For supplying power to electrical and electronically operated components, a battery is associated with the system. The battery powers electrical and electronic components by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery’s terminals provide a voltage difference, allowing current to flow through circuits that supplies consistent energy to actuate and operate components like motors, sensors and microcontroller, ensuring seamless functionality.

[0045] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the garage enclosure 101 is installed with the platform 102 for managing parking, diagnostics, cleaning, and maintenance of the vehicle parked within the enclosure 101. The user-interface is inbuilt in the computing unit accessed by the user for receiving commands for parking of vehicle inside the enclosure 101.
