Bi-Directional Visitor Counter Using Arduino With Automatic Sanitizer & Fan Controller System
ABSTRACT
Many times we need to monitor the person/people visiting some place like Shopping mall / temple. To
provide solution for this we are going to implement a project called “bidirectional Visitor Counter”. This
project has a “Visitor counter”. Main concept behind this project is to measure and display the number of
persons entering in any room like seminar hall, conference room. This project can be used to count and
display the number of visitors entering inside any conference room or seminar hall. This works in a two
way. That means counter will be incremented if person enters the room and will be decremented if a
person leaves the room. In this we are measuring temperature of the person and sanitize when the sensor
is detected and controlling of fan based on temperature.
INTRODUCTION
In traditional method we count the number of persons entered manually, and next developed existing
system counts only the value of persons entered and it doesn’t provide information about person
leaving. So here we are designing a project to update the number of persons entered and leaving.. This
project works on the principle of IR sensing. Infrared or simply IR Sensors are devices that work with
Infrared Light Source and a Photo Detector like a Photo Diode or a Photo Transistor that act as a
Transmitter and Receiver respectively. Two sets of IR sensors consisting of an IR LED and Photo
Diode are placed at two ends of the entrance of a room.
When first IR sensor detects any person so it increment the number of persons. Count value calculated
depend upon sensor input and it count value, and if second IR sensor detects any person it decrement
the count value.
Third IR is for sanitizing purpose, Temperature sensor is used to detect the body temperature, DHT11
is for room temperature measuring.
