Abstract

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is widely used for heating, cooking, automotive fuel, and a variety of other applications around the world. Liquefied Petroleum Gas is highly flammable. There had been many serious accidents, such as explosions and fires involving leakage of liquefied gas. If a leak is not noticed early enough, such accidents can have dangerous consequences. The problems of gas leakage and cylinder availability are faced daily. LPG is a flammable gas that is used to power heating appliances. The risk of structural fire, asphyxiation, or explosion is increased if this gas escapes. This problem can be solved by developing an effective means of detecting gas leaks. The user will be alerted via ThingSpeak as soon as a gas leak is detected. This project also deals with the percentage of gas remaining in the cylinder, which is determined by a sensor known as a load cell, and the percentage of gas remaining in the cylinder is constantly updated in ThingSpeak. When a gas leak is detected, the buzzer makes sound. In addition to this, gas levels are often detected and the user is alerted via ThingSpeak. The main goal of this project is to create a gas leak detection and monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). With the use of a gas sensor and a load sensor, this system will be able to monitor gas leakage and gas level. This data is transmitted to the user via the Internet of Things and displayed using ThingSpeak.

Abstract

Security while traveling is a primary concern for everyone. The purpose of this paper is to find a solution to reduce the annual occurrence of road traffic accidents, which are one of the main causes of death. Designing vehicles with sensors based on microcontrollers could be a solution to achieve this goal. These sensors are made up of tiny devices that work in such a way as to determine the parameters of the vehicle. The ultrasonic sensors will be able to help the driver to drive the vehicle in foggy conditions and prevent frontal collision with the last moment emergency braking system. The vibration detector is used to detect the annoying vibrations of the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle suspension is loose and needs maintenance, it is detected by the vibration sensor. The overheating of electric vehicle motors and batteries causes them to ignite, so flame sensors are also used, and these signals are sent to the microcontroller, which analyses the signals and generates message signals accordingly. If any accident occurs, the vibration detector and the ADXL collision detector will detect the accident and send a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller will get the location of the vehicle via NEO 6M Global Positioning System (GPS) and automatically send the message signal via SIM 900A General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) cellular communication system to the nearest police station and hospital for ambulance service. This system not only tries to prevent traffic accidents but also helps to get treatment facilities as quickly as possible. This function can be implemented in any type of vehicle.

Abstract

Blind and disabled people suffer a loT to reach their destination, and there are many dangerous risks that disabled people must face. To avoid the inconvenience while walking, a smart electronic walking stick was proposed. This paper proposes a low-cost walking stick based on the latest technology, and a new implementation is intended to effectively interface with the blind. Basically, an ultrasonic sensor is implemented in a walking stick to detect obstacles in front of the blind or handicapped. If there is any obstacle, it will warn the blind person to avoid that obstacle and alert them in the form of a voice announcement. Every day in different ways to ensure people's flexible and safe movement. In this technology-driven world where people strive to live independently, this paper provides an inexpensive 3D ultrasonic stick for the blind to gain personal independence so the disabled can move from one place to another easily and safely. A portable stick is being designed and developed that detects the obstacles in the path of the blind using ultrasonic sensors. The voice alert is activated when any obstacle is detected. In addition, the flash drive is equipped with a system of Short Message Service (SMS) messages. The SMS system is used by the blind to send SMS messages to the numbers stored in the microcontroller in case of an emergency. This system has been successfully programmed with a voice announcement. Computer simulations are performed to evaluate system performance using Proteus software.

Abstract

The smart solar bag is a system of many intelligent features and will be made in such a way that it can be used by all members of society at any age, from a teenager to an adult. Smart means intelligent, fast, self-monitoring, and report analysis, which would be enough to perform various functions for everyday use. It will be powered by solar energy, which will also make it very environmentally friendly. The ATmega 16 microcontroller will be the brain of the system, which will manage all the functions. A solar panel will be placed on the front of the bag, which will provide power to the system to perform its functions. This system will have many functions, such as a panic button for any emergency, which means that if any situation occurs, the user will press the panic button and its location will be transmitted to the contacts registered in the system using Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) technology. Secondly, this smart solar bag will have the function of a schedule alert system for teens who forget to bring copies and books for the respective day. An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screen will be placed in the front, which will display the schedule for the respective days. Thirdly, it will turn on the electronic devices, the power of which drops after use.

Abstract

Agriculture is one of India's most important and fastest-growing industries. About 70% of people living in rural areas make their living from agriculture. One of the most important things to do is to implement the latest innovations. Irrigation is difficult in dry places or when there is insufficient rainfall. So, it has to be controlled by the machine to get the right crop, and it has to be done from afar to keep the farmer safe. This will accelerate the transition from traditional to modern farming. The rising cost of energy and the depletion of water resources indicate that water management needs to be improved. The aim of the paper is to use water more efficiently, which is one of the most important and used natural resources. In irrigated agricultural systems, the rational use of water resources is very important to save money. Drip irrigation systems are another economical way to manage water. These systems have automatic control to turn the control values on and off, which helps farmers manage the water supply to the fields and keep the soil moist, resulting in increased yields. Thus, this project gives farmers the best way to water their crops at an affordable cost. This increases their productivity and facilitates the care of crops.
