PROJECT BACKGROUND

The objective of this project is to make a microcontroller based model to count the number of persons visiting a particular room and enlighten the room. Thus sensors issue to the persons in the room.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
In todays world, there is a continuous need for automatic appliances with the increase in standard of living, there is a sense of urgency for developing circuits that would ease the complexity of life. Hence, the project is to make easier count of person in a great hall to even a small room and the light within the room will be turned on automatically once a single person enter the room. The sensor can only detect a single person walking through it instead of two person at a time.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to make a controller based model to count number of persons visiting particular room and accordingly light up the room. Here we can use sensor and can know present number of persons.

PROJECT SCOPE

It is use for counting purposes. When somebody enters into the room then the counter is incremented by one and the light in the very will be switched ON. The device will counter how many people have entered the room and display the total number of persons inside the room. The light within the room will turn OFF once the counter turn to 0.

LIMITATION OF PROJECT
When the current off or black out to supply the current into the automatic room light became useless It not recommended to using a battery. It can make devices automatically shut down when the battery already empty and make the devices unable to function properly. Visitor need to go through the sensor one person at a time for the sensor will only detect only one person at a time.

REVIEW OF CURRENT SITUATION

We are often reminded to avoid wasting electricity everywhere such as public places and even in classes. This is because of the bad outcome resulting from wasting the electricity. Research has found that reducing the usage of electricity will at the same time reduce the damage done to earth. An article on www.ArticleBase.com written by Steve Hanson has elaborated on this matter and he has suggested that everyone to do their part in reducing the production of greenhouses.

REVIEW OF RELATED PRODUCT

Auto-eco Light-control Twin Pa The "Auto-eco Light-control Twin Pa," equipped with a luminance sensor, detects the brightness in an area of 3m diameter directly below the lamp (when the ceiling height is about 2.4m) and controls the light output so that the luminance in the room is maintained constant.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY
I.

II.

III.

This project consists of software and electronic elements. The first method is to design the main circuit layout for the main device. The device will first be tested without the sensor to make sure the timer and switching work just as planned. In this stage, the circuit will be printed into a PCB board and the components will be soldered by hand to the PCB board. PCB board are used because it mechanically support electric and electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. When the main device is tested and confirmed to work within the project scope, the wireless interface for the main device (receiver) and the sensor (transmitter) is designed.

CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, this project will help people to know the number of people present in room so as not to have congestion. It also will helpfully to reduce the electricity consumption and no need to do manually. To complete and make sure the device is functioning as designed, I will have to follow the project scope, overcome the project limitation and do some more research about the program flow of the hardware and software that is going to be use. Lastly, this project is achievable and going to be done under the supervision of my supervisor.
