Automatic Temperature Detection System at the Entrance

Abstract

Ensuring public health and safety has grown to be a top priority as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. This abstract describes a novel system that makes use of an Arduino Uno, an infrared temperature sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a servo motor to automate temperature detection at entry to public places. The central processing unit of the suggested system is an Arduino Uno microcontroller. It is not necessary to make physical touch to monitor body temperature because an infrared temperature sensor is used. The risk of potential contagion is decreased because of this sensor's ability to precisely measure human body temperature at a secure distance. An ultrasonic sensor is added to the system to improve functionality by determining how far away the person is from the door. This maximizes accuracy and efficiency by ensuring that temperature sensing only happens when a person is inside the appropriate range. The system activates the servo motor, which smoothly regulates the movement of a physical barrier, such as a gate or door when it detects a human within the predetermined distance range. Automated access control is made possible by this technology, prohibiting anyone with unusual body temperatures from entering. The system's brain, the Arduino Uno, is responsible for digesting sensor data and producing the right control signals for the servo motor. In the event of an abnormal temperature reading, it can also be configured to sound an alarm or notify authorized persons. The suggested system has several benefits, including accurate distance measurement, contactless operation, and real-time temperature monitoring. To provide efficient screening and stop the transmission of infectious illnesses, it can be applied at a variety of entrance points, including workplaces, educational institutions, medical facilities, and hubs for public transit. The Automatic Temperature Detection System at Entrance, which is demonstrated in this abstract, offers a reliable method for automating temperature screening procedures.
