Abstract

Background/Objectives: Lack of resources established in the present world is initiating everyone towards energy efficient technologies.Among all these resources, power is one which needs to be monitored and controlled as per the need since electricity consumption is increasing day-by day. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Internet of things reduces the effort of human by introducing machine to machine interaction. This work has been designed to implement smart power monitoring and control system through IoT using cloud data storage. Findings: Power consumed by various appliances is monitored through an ARM based controller interfaced to Hall Effect current sensors and stored in a cloud data base known as Xively. Power control of home appliances is achieved through actuators such as relays which can be controlled by client with the help of a web server. The web server is designed using Hyper Text Transfer Protocol for communication between client and server by establishing Remote Procedure Calls between client and server. Conclusion/Improvements: The designed system enables client to monitor and control the appliances at home from anywhere availing the IoT features of the designed system thereby reducing the wastage of energy.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Home automation has been a booming field in the development of a modern home. The innovations and technology improvements have widely contributed to implementing smart home systems. Methods/ Statistical Analysis: In this paper appropriate sensors are used to detect room temperature, movements in room, light intensity and gas leakage through an ARM Microcontroller. The sensed data’s aretransmitted directly through WiFi to a webserver. Findings: The webserver monitors and to controls the home appliances light, fan, alarm and motor remotely. Communication can be done by 6Lowpan protocol which is an IPV6 protocol for low power wireless area networks.To utilize Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) for application level communication and Datagram transport layer to provide energy efficient security features. The proposed framework provides monitoring, control and security features for the entire home automation network. Conclusion/Improvements: The proposed framework provides a secured Home automation system design.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Sensors implementation in automobiles has become a prime factor in the growth of the automobile industry. The quality of an Automobile is determined by the number of sensors integrated and also the sensitivity of the sensors to deliver the nominal conditions of the surroundings of the automobile. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The impact of sensors in today’s automobile industry varies in multiple numbers of applications starting from the control of the automobile till the safety of the passengers in the automobile. Tilt sensor and Accelerometer function are utilized to analyze the car condition during a crash incident, where the change in tilt condition of the car or the accelerometer value can trigger a camera to capture the image and transmit the image to an authority of preference through mail client. Findings: The impact of sensors in today’s automobile industry varies in multiple numbers of applications starting from the control of the automobile till the safety of the passengers in the automobile. These results are obtained by the integration of numerous sensors and the combined data values obtained from them for calculating the complexity of the situation. The project involves the combination of sensor value details and to be able to monitor the values from a remote location by feeding them into a platform which utilizes the cloud storage. A web server is also designed where the sensor values are saved in the form of log files with time stamp for future reference. Conclusion/Improvements: The overall system is employed with the help of a Beagle Bone Black microcontroller which is an effective replacement of a computer performing all the desired functions as such as a computer does towards the understanding of the system development.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Near Field Communication (NFC) technology follows traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) standard that enables the communication using radio frequency between the devices that are separated by distance less than 10 cm. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The present work is a secured campus payment system that uses near Field Communication (NFC) technology and RFID integrated campus ID cards to make payments automatically within the organization or campus. The work is developed using an Arduino Microcontroller with PN532 based NFC controller shield and LabView. Findings: The system in implementation provides a convenient facility to act as a smart payment system in place of cash transactions with an added layer of authentication with no extra tags attached to it. Conclusion/ Improvements: The smart campus payment system in implementation can be further enhanced to include the mobile NFC as the payment authentication system with banking features attached to the mobile NFC gateway.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Robot can do a work with ease, which seems to be impossible for a man and it becomes more helpful if one can control it remotely. Methods/Statistical Analysis:The concept of employing a robotic system for search mission has been proposed for searching of survivors in case of natural disaster like earthquake, hurricane, tsunami and it can also be used as a GPS tracking device as it also has inbuilt GPS device which can give the exact current location of the robot. Findings: There are certain features of the robotic system which makes a complete and versatile system for search mission like it can be controlled wirelessly using RF technique which is considered to be the best with respect to range and interference, this system can also sense the environment with the help of different sensors, it has inbuilt camera which can send the live videos wirelessly to remote device, GPS is also attached with the system which can send the current location to remote device at any point of the time. Conclusion/Improvements: All these features make this robotic system capable of doing things which seems very difficult for the human.
