Arduino-based Automated Washroom Sanitizing System

Abstract

The proposed Arduino-based automated washroom sanitizing system, mainly deals with solving the problem of the unhygienic condition of public toilets. The automation of systems for everyone is turning very frequently in the present. Yet, common people are facing many issues in their daily routine. Sanitation is one of the largest problems faced by people in our country. Even though 6 percent of the urban people are relying on public toilets for their daily use, they are still not hygienic. This has become one of the most basic issues faced by people everywhere. Providing the best solution to this issue is the aim of our project. The existing method involves manual cleaning done by a human which is not at all an easy task and may not even exist in all areas. Implementing a facility to clean the major units of a washroom after several cycles will maintain a sufficient hygienic environment. The cleaning process is aimed to be automated and simple. Such a provision will ease the job of regular janitors as well as the users. Placing a sensor-controlled water flusher attached to the toilet will perform the cleaning task and meanwhile, the number of cycles used is recorded to activate the automated cleaning process. On selecting Arduino Uno as a suitable interface, we aim to provide an easily compatible facility at an economically feasible rate. We aim to ease the brushing technology using a simple belt and DC motor-driven mechanism. Pressure pump along with proper designing of pipes are also incorporated. Hence, on adopting this methodology, we will be able to increase the standard of public and community toilets and facilitate people to use these effectively.
