Abstract - This project is called smart line following car. This project is a solution for problem that we observed

in campus. The problems that we know after making an observation around campus is some of students feel tired

after walking from their colleges that are far away from classes. So, we propose this project. This project is as an

alternative transportation for students to move from one place to another. We think that if this project is carried

out, we can solve the problem and make our campus smarter and better.

INTRODUCTION

This project proposes a prototype of smart transportation for easing the movement of students from colleges

to classes, controlled by Arduino MEGA. The system uses actuators to move this car to pick up students from

colleges. The movement of this car will be detected based on color line as a railway via a color sensor. Two DC

motors will then be used to move this car from one place to another. LCD will be the indicator of which places to

move to or the current place. Considering the students who stay far from college and not having own transport,

we have designed this project. The purpose of this project is mainly to help students that stay in far college to go

their class early and safely. This project could also give convenience to people in campus to move from one

place to another. It will also be completed with safety feature for the passengers. There is a number of research

papers that have been published based on robot car following line. For example, Tarun Agarwal has reported two

ways of controlling a line follower robot. First way is without using microcontrollers but using a simple

LED-Photodiode-Transistor and second way is using microcontroller. [1]

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1: Flowchart of Smart Line Following Car

The workflow of Smart Line Following Car is started with push button as input according to Figure 1.

Then, Arduino will send command to color sensor to detect color that was set such as blue, red and yellow. If

color sensor detects certain color, the car will move to destination according to the color but car will not move

when detecting other colors. After that, color sensor will detect black color and car will stop at that destination.

So, when color sensor does not detect black, car will keep moving.

RESULT AND DICUSSION

Figure 4: Final Prototype

For the result, this is the final prototype of our Smart Line Following Car. Our car will detect color by using

color sensor and the car will move according to color that was set. There are four colors that we use such as

yellow color indicates first destination, red color indicates second destination, blue color for the car to turn right

or left and black color for the car to stop moving.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, we were able to make our final year project to move according to our expected result. Our main

purpose for this project is mainly to make a prototype of transportation following color lines using color sensor.

Although we have faced some problems in finishing it, we were able to complete this project successfully.

Abstract – EZ Pay is a machine that is designed to save time for the students to pay their food. This machine is

useful for students or buyers when making payment while buying food. By having this machine, time for

students are not wasted by queueing in a long line to pay for their food. So, this project can be adapted in our

campus. This machine only uses a simple circuit to control money when students are paying their food by coding

the Arduino. So, this machine is a choice for students to solve their problem when they are running late going to

the class. They do not have to worry by rushing when going to the class and just rely on this machine.

Keywords - Machine, Pay Easy , Cash Register , Student, Campus

INTRODUCTION

EZ Pay is a device designed to make the process of buying food faster for student. They only have to click

the menu that they want by paying through EZ Pay, getting the receipt and the food will be served to customers.

EZ Pay use a combination of mechanical and electrical system to control it. In the market, there are simple

machineries that without it will consume more time and work of workers. Our EZ Pay is the type of machine that

is used to make a job simpler and uses less human interaction. By having this machine, students can save their

time properly [1-3].

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1: Flowchart of this project

Figure 1 shows the flowchart of this project. Based on the flow chart above, this project starts with

choosing the menu (Arduino will start functioning). After choosing the menu, LCD will display the menu price

and the quantity that buyers want. If the buyer is not satisfied with the menu, they can choose the menu again. If

there is no problem in choosing menu the buyers can continue by inserting the coupon. The DC motor will move

the coupon that goes in or out of the machine. After that, RGB Colour Sensor (TCS3200) will detect the colour

of the coupon (only Red, Green, and Blue) and if they sense other colour, the buyers must insert back the coupon.

Then the LCD will display the total cash of the coupon and meals. Then, buyers must insert coupon with exact

value only. EZ Pay will show the code for buyers to claim their meals at the stall and the process ends.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Figure 2: Circuit simulation

Figure 3: Prototype of this project

Figure 2 above shows the circuit simulation of Ez Pay. This circuit consist of LCD Display 16x2, RGB

Colour Sensor (tcs3200), 4x4 matrix Keypad, DC Motor and Arduino Nano. The LCD Display is used to display

the menu, food prices and amount of food that customers want. RGB Colour Sensor is used to detect the colour

of the coupon (only Red, Green, and Blue). 4x4 matrix Keypad is used to key in the data that we want for

example, the quantity of the food that we want. DC Motor is used to move the coupon in and out of this project.

We use Arduino Nano in our project because it has many pin inputs and its size is small, so it can save space.

Figure 3 shows the prototype of this project. EZ Pay is designed for kiosk in the campus that allows buyers

or students to pay their food without queueing in a long line. Basically, this project is built using Arduino Nano

and combination of keypad 4x4 is to key in the code and choose the menu displayed by LCD 16x2.

CONCLUSION

With this project, it can help students to become more punctual. Besides that, with this project, students do

not have to rush when going to the class. Thus, seller does not have to double their job and have more time to

refill the food. This machine can reduce the time for the students to pay for the food. Moreover, we can know the

function and application of the components and Arduino.

Abstract - This project proposes a new model of environmental friendly solar-piezoelectric hybrid power

generator that solely uses renewable energy to generate electricity and is capable of being practically

implemented. With the help of solar energy and footsteps on the transducer, energy can be generated to charge

the battery. When the flooring is installed with piezoelectric technology, it can produce electric energy through

the pressure captured by floor sensor (piezoelectric plate) and convert to an electrical energy charged by

piezoelectric. The electricity is then stored in a battery as a power source. This power source can be used to

generate electricity. The output value of this project is 5V. So, it can be applied to charge devices, such as

mobile phone, USB fan and table lamp and as backup power when blackout occurs.

Keyword - piezoelectric, generator, waste energy, solar, hybrid

INTRODUCTION

This project aims to enhance the use of free energy. The solar and the piezoelectric system are collecting

two energy sources. The solar panel is connected on top of piezoelectric. The energy is taken from the sunrays

through the solar panel and from the compression through the piezoelectric [1-3]. The system serves as a

medium to generate electricity using non-conventional sources (force) and stores or uses it. The problem that we

usually faced is no alternative power supply when electrical failure occurs at college or campus. Furthermore,

campus does not apply the renewable energy generator to support their electricity. Moreover, this project can

provide back up for electricity when electrical failure occurs besides increasing the efficiency of power

generation.

These devices may then generate a voltage on every footstep. For this purpose, piezoelectric sensors use

piezoelectric effect in order to measure pressure by its conversion into electric signals. These devices also use

the solar energy to generate power which makes it more practical. The LCD display is used in order to measure

its output and small LED lights for demonstration. This project can be applied to generate electric to charge

devices, such as mobile phone, USB fan and table lamp.

In this project, there are some benefits as well as the limitation. The benefits of this project are the

electricity can be generated as simply as stepping on the piezoelectric plate and putting the solar panel under the

sunlight. So, it can reduce waste of energy. The limitation is, it only applicable for certain places. This project is

also suitable only to power up small devices that need less electricity. Lastly, the initial cost of this arrangement

is high.

METHODOLOGY

In this project, 5V DC supply was used as power supply because the microcontroller, LCD etc rely on 5V

DC supply. The solar panel was used to receive the light energy from sun and converts that energy into electrical

form. The piezoelectric sensor was used to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Voltmeter was

used to find out the exact value of energy being generated by the solar panel and piezoelectric sensor. The output

by the piezoelectric is AC voltage. In order to use this voltage for low consuming electronics devices, it has to be

converted into digital signal beforehand. Rectifier was used to convert the AC to DC. LCD 16*2 was used to

display message from where the energy was generated and percentage of energy that remained in the battery.

The charger circuit charged the battery.

Figure 1. Block Diagram of Hybrid Power Generation


Solar

The solar panel testing was measured in five different conditions as shown on Table 1. The solar panel was first

exposed to the sunlight until the solar panel was under a complete shade. We got a maximum voltage and

minimum voltage.

Piezoelectric

The piezoelectric testing was measured with different connections and number of piezo plates. Based on Table 1,

it shows that if the connection is connected in series, voltage will remain the same and the current is high. If the

connection is connected in parallel, the voltage remains the same but the current decreases.

The output current that is generated from the piezoelectric sensor may be less, which may increase the time taken

for charging battery for emergency purpose where there is no direct source of electricity. This can be used as an

efficient source for portable electric power devices.

CONCLUSIONS

This project should be useful for student which could help them to have an alternative power supply when

there is no electricity at the college or campus. This hybrid power generation is a combination of piezoelectric

and solar energy. It ensures the optimum utilization of resources and hence increases the reliability and reduces

the dependence of one single source.

Abstract – A lot of people still park their car improperly even though there are guide lines provided at the

parking lot. To overcome this problem we have found an efficient solution which is to put a sensor at the parking

line that can trigger the alarm if the car parked improperly. For our project, we are going to put a Light

Dependent Resistor underneath the parking line. If the LDR does not get enough light, the buzzer will turn on in

a minute. So, if the owner of the car wants to turn off the alarm, they need to park their car properly within the

provided lines. Then, we also provide a security feature which is that the user can activate a barrier that prohibits

your car to leave without your notice by asking you to enter a password that you can register using the keypad

provided. To inactivate the barrier, just re – enter your password.

Keywords - Parking, LDR, Buzzer, Keypad, Password

INTRODUCTION

Statistics have shown that vehicle theft cases in Malaysia from 2008 to 2012 increase every year, but it

began declining from 2013 to 2016. This may be due to the awareness of people about the importance of the

safety of their vehicles as well as law enforcements [1-3]. But that does not mean our car is safe. The thieves are

fast thinker; they can manage to break into the cars easily. Even when we use the steering lock on the steering

wheel, they still can cut the steering lock and drive away our cars. Nowadays, most of the cars use the advanced

technology to make the cars secure by using the most secure alarm system, the most expensive alarm system,

and so forth.

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1: Flowchart of this project

Figure 1 shows the flow chart of circuit operation. Based on the flow chart above, the flow of the project

will start if the car is properly parked. If the is car parked within the parking line, the light dependent resistor will

not detect the presence of the light although the buzzer will turn on until the car is parked properly. Then, the

password is set up and button is pushed to open the barrier. Lastly, to end this process the user must put the

password that is set up before closing the barrier.

These projects are divided into two parts which are the software development and hardware component. We use

Proteus and Arduino software in this project. The hardware components that we use are Arduino Uno, servo

motor, LDR, potentiometer, LCD, buzzer and keypad.

Figure 2: Circuit simulation

Figure 2 above shows the circuit of smart secure parking. This circuit will operate when the main switch is

on and the LCD will display “SET UP PASSWORD” and push the button, then the servo motor will rotate to 90

degrees. If the user enters a wrong password the servo motor will not function at all. So the user must enter the

password that is set up before for servo motor to rotate to initial condition. The buzzer will function when the

LDR does not receive the presence of light.


Figure 3 shows the prototype of this project. The prototype shows when the circuit condition is ON then the

LCD will display “Enter Password”. After that, the servo motor will move 90 degrees when the user pushes the

button.

CONCLUSION

From this project, we can conclude that it can help people to park their car more properly. Then, people can

park their car with easy feelings knowing their car would not be stolen because of the barrier that will block their

car from getting out of the parking spot. To make it more secure, people can set up their own password to

deactivate the barrier. Next, we get to know more on how to use Arduino Uno. From what we have experienced,

theoretical concepts are not always similar in reality so we need to be patient. A lot of trials and errors have been

done in making this project a success. We have also learned a lot of skills that we believe can be implemented in

our working life in the future.

Abstract - Nowadays, there are always scraps scattered around the dustbin when the dustbin is too full thus

producing unpleasant smell. This project is aimed to monitor the level of the trash in the dustbin through the

smartphone as long as there is internet connection. Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the level of trash in the

dustbin and send the information to Arduino. LED is placed in front of the bin to show the level of trash in the

dustbin to the users. When the dustbin is full, the servo motor will lock the lid to prevent the scrap being

scattered. This system is connected with IOT to give an access to monitor the condition of the dustbin. Cleaner

can simply access the system to monitor the dustbin without going to the dustbin. When the bin is full, the

cleaner can simply clean the dustbin and unlock the bin.

Keywords - Arduino Uno, Internet of Things (IOT), Ultrasonic Sensor, Servo Motor, LCD Display

INTRODUCTION

Every day, there are always many scraps scattered around dustbin at many places. The situations totally

ruin the view in any place and also produce very unpleasant smell. Every single year, there are 2.12 billion tons

of wastes being dumped. Those wastes can affect the environment of the whole planet. An appropriate action

should be taken to reduce the rate of waste dumped to make the environment cleaner. Internet of Things or IOT

can be used for a Smart Campus project. Internet of Thing (IOT) is a recent communication paradigm that

envisions a near future, in which the objects of everyday life will be equipped with microcontrollers, transceivers

for digital communication, and suitable protocol stacks that will make them able to communicate with one

another and the user, becoming an integral part of the Internet [1-2]. Nowadays, cleaners always have problem

like time constraint to redo regular task. Cleaners need to check the entire dustbin to ensure the bin is not full.

Next, scraps are scattered around the bin when the waste bin is full and produce unpleasant smell. Animals such

as cats like to scatter the garbage out of the waste bin. The main objective of this project is to alert the cleaner as

long as they have the internet access. The cleaner can monitor the waste bin using smartphone without going to

the location of the bin. Other than that, the objective is to maintain the cleanliness around the dustbin. Servo

motor will function to lock the lid when the bin is full. This function can prevent the bin being too full until the

scraps scattered around the bin. Lastly, to design and develop IOT based waste management system which uses

Wi-Fi module to monitor the bin. Using IOT in this project, time consumption on daily work will be lessened as

cleaners do not have to clean any scrap scattered. IOT can make things easier for the supervisor cleaner in

managing the waste bin by monitoring the level or garbage in the bin through the smartphone. The combined

system model for smart waste management will result to greener and healthier campus.

METHODOLOGY

This project was developed using Arduino UNO R3 Board, ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04), LED, LCD with

i2C backpack, Servo Motor (9g) and ESP8266-01.

Figure 1:Components used for IOT Based Waste Management

When the trash is thrown into the bin, the ultrasonic sensor will scan the level of trash in the bin according

to the depth that has been set, LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. When the bin is full, the ultrasonic sensor will send

the info and the servo motor will lock the lid to prevent more trash being thrown into the dustbin. Notification

will be sent to the cleaner stated that the bin is full and the cleaner can clean up the bin. Cleaner can also monitor

the bin without going to the bin through the Blynk apps. The problem like scrap being scattered and unpleasant

smell can be overcome with this project. Cleaner also does not need to check every single bin and can use their

time to do other task. Animal also cannot scatter the bin as the bin has been locked by the servo motor. So, with

this project applied in this campus, a cleaner environment can be achieved.


The process development of this project is not easy. There are many new basic codings of Arduino that

need to be studied. There are also problems such as the connection is not working and sometimes it cannot be

run as Arduino has specific port for every other component that is connected to it. Mistakes in coding also makes

the project not running as desired. The ultrasonic sensor reading sometimes is not accurate, so this problem is

overcome by setting the distance to show the level of the trash. The result of this project is shown in the table

below:

Table 1

Condition/Height(cm) Servo Motor LED Scrap

Empty (43cm – 40cm) Unlock Green

Any scrap

(plastic, bottle, paper)

Medium (29cm -22cm) Unlock Yellow

Full (20cm – 16cm) Lock Red

CONCLUSION

This project is successfully developed and all the objectives are achieved. No scrap will be scattered as the

lid is automatically locked and cleaner will be notified when the bin is full. For future work, it is recommended

to improve the IOT Based Waste Management. There are some recommendations to improve the project

research. First recommendation is to setup a GPS Module so he accurate location of bin that is full is given to the

cleaner and it will save more time to search and clean it up. Second recommendation is placing power supply to

enhance its life time to operate. Third recommendation is to insert push notification in the prototype.

Abstract – The concept of Smart Hostel which uses the Internet of Things (IoTs) platform nowadays is a common

element adopted by many users in the world. Smart hostel room is one of the applications in smart campus which

uses Wi-Fi for remote monitoring of electrical devices operation via mobile phone that implemented the IoT

technology. This technology offers an accident-free environment while handling the switching operation where

users are not necessary to have direct contact to the electricity source. In addition, the electricity consumption

could be reduced by controlling its operation remotely. For the proposed project, user is able to switch on and off

freely the lights and fan inside the room as well as shuts off and opens the sliding door. In this project, a system

which can control lights, fans, sliding door and curtain is proposed where everything is controlled through

mobile phone.

Keywords - Internet of Things, smart hostel, smartphone, Arduino, Wi-Fi, smart campus

INTRODUCTION

The Internet of Things (IoTs) can be described as connecting everyday objects such as smart-phones,

internet TVs, sensors and actuators to the Internet where the devices are intelligently linked together to enable

new forms of communication between devices and people. The Internet of things (IoTs) refer to uniquely

identifiable objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure [1]. Earlier technology

which was used to implement home automation back in time was Bluetooth technology. Recently, IoT

technology has added a new dimension to the world of information and communication systems. Smart hostel is

the residential extension of building automation. This project can solve some problems like wastage of electricity

usage in hostels or student rooms by controlling the switch remotely. The main objective of this research is to

design and implement a room automation system by using IoT that is capable of controlling and automating

most of the room appliances through smartphones. The proposed system has a great flexibility by using Wi-Fi

technology to interconnect its distributed sensors to home automation server. This will decrease the deployment

cost and will increase the ability of upgrading and system reconfiguration.

METHODOLOGY

The development of this project is divided into two main parts which are hardware architecture and

software. Both hardware and software parts play an important role to make this system works properly and

effectively.

Based on the result for this project, it can be concluded that the LED (light), DC motor (fan) and servo

motor (curtain and sliding door) can be controlled via Blynk Application on any smartphone using Wi-Fi.

Figure 3. Blynk Application for controlling switch from smartphone

CONCLUSION

As conclusion, an Ethernet module is used for remote control and monitoring where each of the input and

output points can be observed or switched from any point of the network and also the internet accessibility. As

such, the electricity in the room can be operated by using only smartphones with internet connection. This project

is created to improvise the conventional way of handling electricity (lamp and fan) as well as door curtain and

sliding door in hostel room. Additionally, the proposed system offers an accident-free environment where users do

not have direct contact with electricity source during operation. A few improvements can be made such as using

L298N motor driver instead of relay which can control the speed and the direction of the DC motors. Then,

SIM900 GSM module might be used for additional communication purpose.

Abstract - This Smart Parking System project was designed for an effortless management of a designated car

park and to control the amount of an unauthorized vehicle park in the designated parking space. This project uses

Raspberry Pi 3 as the microcontroller to control the project movement based on the coding that is created. This

project uses Infrared sensor as the main sensor and then a camera module to make an image processing and to

capture image on top of the servo motor. Then, the captured image is sent to the higher authorities. Therefore, the

user parking slot is secured and safe from other people.

Keywords - Raspberry PI 3, Infrared sensor, camera module

INTRODUCTION

A smart parking system is a parking system that integrated is with the use of Internet of Things (IoT) which is

designed to distinguish if the parking space is occupied or not. If the parking is for an establishment and each

parking is designated for a person, the authorities can use this smart parking system for ease of registration and

save all the information in their server. Usually it will be connected to an application in smartphone devices.

Nowadays, most mobile phones are a 'smartphones’ which present more advanced capabilities in connectivity than

regular cell phones. Smartphones can perform wireless communications by using Wi-Fi or internet data

communication making it possible to transfer data wirelessly. Smartphones can provide computer mobility, data

access, and pervasive intelligence that improved the daily life of a person [1-3].

METHODOLOGY

The development of this project is divided into two main parts which are hardware architecture and software

development. Both hardware and software parts play an important role to make this system works properly and

effectively.

Figure 1. Block Diagram for Smart Parking System

Figure 2. Flowchart for Smart Parking System

RESULT

In this project, the result can be seen as soon an unauthorized car trying to park in the registered parking

space. The person with registered parking has the right to park at their own parking. Meanwhile, the unauthorized

car cannot park at any of the registered parking. When a car is trying to park at any registered parking slot, the

owner of the park will get a notification that a car has parked in their parking spot.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this project is believed to be a useful because it could help the authorities of the establishment

to manage the parking space and securing parking slots from unauthorized vehicles. When this project is applied to

a parking space, the parking space will be more secure and everyone can leave their parking space alone because of

the parking system. This system will be a great help for those who want to have their parking space empty when

they are not around. Then, if the unauthorized vehicle parks in the registered parking space, they will be caught due

to the evidence from the camera. This will help tightening the security and the law enforcement. After that, people

with intention of stealing others parking space will eventually decrease and hopefully gone. In a result, all of the

parking space will be available for everyone as long as they register their parking space to the authorities.

Abstract - Electricity describes energy consumption uses in a daily life. People are aware about the increment of

electricity bills which is caused by them. This project that is based on switching system was developed since the

campus has been wasting more electricity nowadays. This project is developed by using IoT. To implement this

project, IoT as a Wi-Fi module is needed to get the information from mobile device, NodeMCU as a

microcontroller receives information from IoT and produces output night lamp to choose the brightness while also

acts to control the relays that will produce the outputs which are to turn ON or OFF fluorescent lamp and

extension. Due to the portability of the switching system, it is aimed to reduce the energy consumption and save

the electricity bills in the campus, and furthermore, beneficial for disabled people.

Keywords - NodeMCU, wifi module (IoT), relay, fluorescent lamp, extension.

INTRODUCTION

IoT based switching system project in the room of campus is created since wireless connection helps to make

life much easier in addition to saving the energy consumption and cost. Due to the development of technologies,

smartphone is a must thing that everyone will have with an internet connection. This is how this project is made

where it can help students to run their daily activities more systematic by only using their smartphone. As we can

see, the student mostly forgot to turn OFF the appliances switch when they rushed to leave their room. Besides,

some students may be afraid to sleep in the dark during the night especially in the campus. So, this is also the

reason why this project is created which can control the brightness of night lamp using NodeMCU as a

microcontroller by accessing through a mobile device using web. This will make them to sleep much better with

the suitable brightness that they choose. According to the project that was created by Florien, [1], it project is quite

similar but it uses the Blynk apps to be accessed which will need the extra storage in the smartphone to install the

apps. Project in [2] is not suitable to be implemented in our campus because this project is limited to the Bluetooth

coverage which is in a near distance only. By using IoT in this project, the campus can reduce the cost of electricity

bill besides giving a solution to the people who are afraid to sleep in the darkness.

CONCLUSIONS

A portable switch for switching system can be designed using IoT. By developing this IoT project, it can save

the unnecessary wastage energy consumption besides making increment of electricity bill in campus. In addition,

this project is implemented to control the switch of the appliances and the brightness of the bulb. Hence, with its

multi control feature which controls the brightness and appliances switch, it can make students easier to access

through their mobile devices by opening a website and it can control the lamp and the brightness of the bulb

according to the users’ option. Moreover, this project also can prevent the lamp from damaging faster due to the

overheating usage that is caused by the user for not turning off the appliances. So it can also save the budget of the

campus for not to always change the lamp because this project helps the long life of lamp. Hopefully this project

can be developed more by adding a sensor in this project. This sensor acts to detect the person in the room. When

there is no people with the light is turning on, the user will get a notification message in their mobile device that

informs the user that there is no people in the room while the lamp is still flaming. So the user can use their mobile

devices to turn off the light although there is no one in the room..

Abstract: Basically, this project is about a machine that will help a lot for returning book process at library.

Library currently used a system that manually needs help from library staffs to handle the process of returning

book from the borrower. While this machine will make the library’s system becomes more practical and

borrower can return the book at flexible time. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader sensor is used in

this project to detect the book as well as the book is inserted inside the machine. RFID tag will be attached

together with the book so that radio waves can transfer data from the tag to a reader. Global System for Mobile

communication (GSM) is used to send message to the library staff when the book has been returned by using this

machine. Arduino UNO is used to run the system. 6V Direct Current (DC) Motor is used to move the conveyor

belt to place the book inside the machine. Motor driver will control the movement of the motor whether it moves

onwards or backwards.

Keywords: RFID reader sensor, RFID tag, GSM, Arduino UNO, 6V DC Motor, Motor driver.

INTRODUCTION

A library is a collection of information, sources, resources, books, and services, and the structure in which it is

housed [1]. The main function of this project is for smoothing library management system. It will help a lot in

returning book process for library. There are few problems that leads to this project such as borrower can only

return the book during office hour since returning book needs library staff’s help. It is also because the problem

of library staffs need to check the book drop box according to the schedule whether there is book inside the box

or not. The objectives of this project are to make sure that borrower can return the book within flexible time

because this library system is capable in reducing the human efforts [2]. It is also easier for the library staffs to

know that the book has been returned by using this “Smart Mobile Bookdrop” by getting a notification.

METHODOLOGY

This project is actually consisting of two parts which are hardware and software. Hardware refers to the

development of the device itself including the circuit construction at breadboard and printed circuit board (PCB),

also soldering process. The hardware architecture that is used for this project is Arduino UNO, Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID) reader sensor and tag, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), 6V DC Motor

and motor driver. The RFID technology is useful for fast issuing, returning and reissuing of the books [2]. RFID

tags that are able to electronically store information can be read with the help of the RFID reader [3]. GSM is a

wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network [2]. While for the software, it is focused on the

program development specifically during the simulation and compilation inside the Proteus to test the circuit that

includes coding [4]. Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the software for any Arduino board

that runs on the computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board [5]. There are few steps

to use this project. The first step is the borrower has to press the push button to turn on the motor and conveyor

belt. Next, the borrower has to insert the book inside the box and at the same time, the scanner will scan the

book (by using RFID reader). In case the scanner cannot detect the book, press push button to reject the book. If

the scanner can scan the book, it will send the notification to the library staff (by using IoT) to show that the

book has been returned by using this box. After that, the book will be arranged inside the box.

RESULT AND DICUSSION

Conclusion that can be made from this project is shown in Table 1. When the book is registered inside the

system, it means that sensor can detect the book, conveyor belt will move onwards, blue LED will light up and

GSM will send message to library staffs. When the book is not registered inside the system, conveyor belt will

move onwards and backwards, buzzer will sound and red LED will light up. Figure 1 shows message that will be

sent to library staffs as well as the book has been returned by using this project.

CONCLUSIONS

This “Smart Mobile Bookdrop” will be used by UiTM staffs including lecturers also students. It will make book

returning process becomes easier because they can return the book anytime especially at night. This box will be

placed outside the library. So that, even when the library is already closed, they can still return the book within

the time that they are supposed to return it. This box will only be placed outside the library, not anywhere inside

the campus because it is easier for the library staffs to collect the books and arrange it back inside the library.

The limitations of this project are it can only scan one book at one time and it is also has the limit on the number

of books that can be placed inside the box.

Abstract - A very dangerous effect might happen to motorcyclist in an accident if without wearing a helmet that

can cause fatality. Wearing a helmet is one way that can reduce shock from any impact and it may save a life.

There are many places that are enforcing a regulation for motorcycle, for example, around the university area.

Thus, to improve the safety levels of motorcyclist among students in this university, this project was specially

developed. A 433MHz radio frequency module as wireless link was used to communicate between transmitter

and receiver circuit. In this project, a Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) was used for detection of the motorcyclist’s

head when wearing a helmet. Arduino UNO R3 was used as a main controller to control the entire component in

the system.

Keywords: Microcontroller Arduino UNO R3, Force Sensing Resistance, 433MHz Radio Frequency Module

transmitter and receiver.

INTRODUCTION

In Malaysia 2010, motorcyclists were recorded as more than half of the road fatalities victims. Statistics

provided by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) showed that 4,067 motorcyclists died in

2010[1]. Every year, traffic accidents will increase in Malaysia. Muhamad Nizam Mustafa, who works in

planning highway unit in Ministry of Work, stated that, the road accidents are currently linked with the rapid

growth in population, development, economic and motorization in the country [1]. A main headgear that is used

by motorcyclist is the helmet. The main purpose of a helmet is for safety, which is to protect the motorcyclists’

head from the worst impact in injuries when accident happens. The protection system provided by the helmet

will protect the motorcyclists’ head. Many injuries and fatalities that happened were caused by motorcyclists

who did not wear helmets and rode over limit of the speed motor. Thus, undoubtedly the number of accidents

and fatalities can increase if motorcyclists ignore to wear helmets when riding motorcycles[1].

In the campus, students take for granted of not wearing helmets properly because they feel that the distance to

the destination is not far and they simply take advantage for this situation. There are also situations where

students are late and they are rushing to attend classes and forget to wear their helmets before riding. A few

accidents that happened in our campus involved motorcyclists and some of the cases due to not wearing a helmet.

The aim of this project is to overcome this problem. The main objective of this project is to develop a prototype

that can switch ON the motorcycle after the helmet is worn properly and completely. The basic idea for

developing this “Smart Helmet” project was taken from the current situation in UiTM Dungun campus.

METHODOLOGY

First, a helmet was worn and this led to the program that has been set to activate .Then the sensor that was put at

the helmet detected whether the helmet was worn properly or not. The sensor used is Force Sensing Resistance

(FSR). If the helmet is worn completely, the FSR sensor will send a signal to the receiver from transmitter, thus

will lead to the start of the motorcycle engine. Otherwise, if any force would not apply the signal that cannot be

sent from receiver to transmitter it would turn off the engine of the motorcycle until the FSR sensor detected any

force. Block diagram of this project started with the helmet. After the helmet is worn, the Force Sensor

Resistance (FSR) will detect whether the rider wears a helmet or not. The signal will be sent from transmitter to

receiver after detected the force through FSR sensor. Then, the engine of motorcycle will ready to start. If the

motorcyclist does not wear the helmet, the signal would not be sent from transmitter to receiver and FSR sensor

will not detect any force that will cause the engine of motorcycle to start until the motorcyclist wears the helmet

properly. The project aims to educate the students and also to increase the safety levels of the motorcyclist.

Besides, it would avoid the students from facing any serious injuries. The circuit is designed with a system that

the motorcycle would not start when without wearing a helmet. This is actually to educate the motorcyclists the

importance of safety to properly wear their helmets before riding. As we know, it is vital to wear helmets when






- 23 -

riding a motorcycle among students as it can ensure and increase the safety level during riding on the road. Thus,

the development of this project is to reduce the possibility of the motorcyclist to get involve in accident and more

or less it can reduce the impact of accident, from fatal injuries to small injuries because the use of the helmet

itself is to bring safety towards motorcyclist. Then this project will prevent motorcyclist from riding without

wearing a proper helmet.

Table 1: Results

CONCLUSION The purpose of our prototype is to encourage safety awareness among students in UiTM Dungun campus. This

project will switch on the motorcycle only if the motorcyclist properly wears the helmet. Thus, this prototype can

be used to educate the motorcyclists among students to obey the road regulations in order to increase safety level

during riding motorcycle in UiTM Dungun campus.

Abstract-A prototype campus phone charger using dynamo is designed to reduce the power consumption in the

campus and implemented for helping student. Mobile phone is one most important thing for student. There are

three main parts is this project which are a converting circuit and voltage regulator, comparator circuit and

regulating circuit. The converting circuit will convert AC power to DC power and voltage regulator will produce

constant voltage. If there is any overload voltage in the circuit, the comparator circuit will detect. Then, the LED

will light up when the comparator circuit detects suitable voltage. As potential contribution, we can reduce the

human footprint on Earth as we used human effort instead of conventional electricity because this project is

alternative source that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Keyword: converting circuit, regulating circuit, comparator circuit

INTRODUCTION Some student used transportation to class such as motorcycle, car and bicycle. This project was designed to make

use of this current situation especially for cyclist. The objectives of this project are to help student to charge their

low battery phone while cycling somewhere and to suit the present day technology by upgrading the previous

function of dynamo into new technology. This project has been designed to be an alternative source to charge

phone battery. In this project, the energy is converted from mechanical energy to electrical energy [1-2]. So, this

project can reduce the power consumption in the campus. Most cyclists use dynamo to light while riding because

the conventional dynamo increases their strain since the dynamo increases the frictional force by rubbing on the

cycle tyre [3]. Hence the rider has to exert more strain to obtain light on the cycle. In the present work, it is

proposed to use a dynamo to generate electricity to charge phone battery instead using to light. The dynamo

power depends on the motion of the bicycle [3-5]. By placing a dynamo at the front cycle tyre, the dynamo will

create AC voltage source for about 30V. However, when we just connect the voltage source from the dynamo to

the charger, the phone will be damaged due to overload voltage because the phone battery can only carry limit of

5V. So, AC-DC circuit is created to change the 30V AC voltage from the dynamo to constant 5V DC voltage.

But, to confirm the voltage that flows in the circuit is not overload, a comparator circuit is inserted [6]. So, if

there is an overload, the comparator circuit will detect it and the voltage will not flow to the charger. The overall

system becomes more efficient and demands lesser muscle power from a cyclist.

METHODOLOGY The detailed description about the used hardware modules presented as below:

i. Dynamo: acts as voltage source which supplies AC voltage to the circuit. This supply was attached

to the tyre of bicycle. The dynamo needs a rotational force started to produce some source. So, the

tyre acted as kinetic force and turned into potential force to rotate the dynamo.

ii. Rectifier: the rectifier is needed in the circuit because the function of rectifier is to convert AC

voltage into DC voltage.

iii. Voltage regulator: the voltage regulator is important in the circuit because the voltage regulator will

produce 5V voltage.

iv. IC NE555: is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator,

and as a flip-flop element.

v. Op-Amp: is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and

usually, a single-ended output. Op-amp may be packaged as component or used as elements of

more complex integrated circuits.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION This kind of project will ease the students that use their bicycle as transportation to the class to charge their

phone during cycling. Apart from that, the students do not have to worry about low battery phone when cycling

to the class or emergency situation.

CONCLUSION At a time when there is energy crisis casting its shadow all over the world, one has to look into alternate

renewable energy resources. One such alternate way to generate power is by using bicycle dynamo. This project

can make changes to daily life and perspective to the people about how important to create alternate renewable

source in order conserve the earth’s healthy environment and to protect ecosystems.

INTRODUCTION

A Multifunction Cleaner Project for Cafe Purpose is a cleaner device that can help the worker at cafe to do their

job without worrying about the floor. Nowadays most of the cleaner machines use human energy to operate as

many of the consumers use manual cleaner devices at their workplace. Usually it takes much time to move on

the entire area to ensure the cafe can be cleaned sufficiently. This situation may cause the user become tired

especially when the cleaning process has to be made frequently. Manual cleaner device usually gives difficulties

to the consumer in term of performance, maintenance and limitation in the movement of itself. For workers who

need to focus on students that want food, manual cleaner device is not the good choice because it may consume

more time and spend more energy to use the manual cleaner. Every consumer that uses manual cleaner project

usually does not have enough time to clean their cafe and it will use more energy when using the conventional

cleaner device. All this kind of uneasy situations can be solved if there is a type of multifunction cleaner system

that can be controlled easily.

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1 shows the process of our project. In this project input (HC-05 Bluetooth module) will be controlled by

the Arduino Uno and Arduino Uno also will control motor driver, servo motor, water pump and DC motor.

Figure 2: Flowchart of multifunction cleaner project

Figure 2 shows the flowchart of this cleaner project. In this project, there are three parts according to the above

diagram. For the first part is the input. This part consists of bluetooth module. A bluetooth module is a device for

transparent wireless serial connection setup. For the next part is microcontroller to read inputs – which is by

detecting the Bluetooth module and turning it into an output - activating a motor. The Bluetooth module is used

to communicate with the microcontroller using serial transmission such as the Bluetooth used is HC-05, which is

the master slave process which has two way communications between the microcontroller and the Bluetooth

module itself. HC-05 Bluetooth module was used as the input and the data will be sent to Arduino Uno for

process. The commands in the HC-05 Bluetooth module for the project are the direction of motor as example for

moving forward, backward, left and also right. Then the command will turn on the water pump and the water

will flow from the water pump using the vinyl tubing to the floor. Other than that, the mop will turn on and

rotate. After completing the mopping process, the roller will roll up and down to make sure the process cleaning

is done.



Figure 3 shows result of The Multifunction Cleaner Project for Cafe Purpose. Bluetooth module will transmit

data to Arduino Uno and Arduino Uno will give command to motor driver board for forward, backward, right

and left position. Then, the command will turn on the water pump and water will flow to the floor. Next, the mop



- 28 -

will rotate. Lastly, servo motor will accept the command to roll the roller down and dry the floor. Results consist

of the activation of the multifunction cleaner where the mop and roller will turn on when the HC-05 would

operate with the aid of “Bluetooth Serial Controller” apps to set control buttons and signals. By configuring the

apps, it would connect to the module and command would be received by the microcontroller to control the

operation of the project.Thus the DC motor and mop will turn on as well as the servo motor will run the roller.

CONCLUSION

For the conclusion, the invention of this multifunction cleaner project for a cafe purpose will reduce problems

and replacing the manpower which is widely used in all colleges in this university. Previously, by using the

traditional method, the cleaner will only going to clean the cafe after their operating hours. So, with the invention

of this cleaner project specifically for the cafe purposed, this can reduce or eliminate the previous problems and

this is going to be a new futuristic way of cleaning.
