become a habit for every man who wants comfort in himself. More and more competitors are producing easy technology
resources. A technology requires careful research, study, and observation of the problems encountered. For example,
observations were made on wet shoe problems and difficult to dry. From these observations, the idea is to create a shoe
dryer to make it easier for individuals to dry shoes and get rid of smelly shoes.

Introduction
In this sophisticated modern age, today’s society wants to buy or put on more branded shoes in line with our developing
country. In addition, shoes purchased by the community must be of higher quality and quality shoes. When shoes are
expensive and quality, consumers will have the comfort when wearing them. At the same time, to keep the shoes from the
dirty, smelly and to show the shoes is more beautiful in the long run. The community should wash and sunburn the user’s
shoes under sunlight.
In addition, when shoes are sunk under sunlight, this also results in some negative factors that occur when we dry shoes
that are uncertain weather problems. Hence, the community also fears that the sunken shoes are stirred by animal animals
such as cats and the community is also worried if the sunk shoes are stolen by naughty boys. Consequently, there are
many problems faced by the community, as this shoe dryer project is designed to make it easier for people to dry their
shoes without sun-dried. Furthermore, this project is also designed to solve the problem of people who want to dry shoes
without having to be sunk under the sun. The project also does not take too long to dry shoes.

Abstract. Research and development effort have been focused on developing Rechargeable table cooling fan. It will
reduce the heat of CPU laptop with use cooling fan and as a charger of laptop. The rechargeable table cooling fan will
be as adjustable table to put the laptop. The table can adjust the height by control the button for the height of scissor lift.
Rechargeable table cooling fan will act as charger when the battery decrease. There have no charger which desperate with
laptop. The rechargeable table cooling fan will be function 3 in 1.

Introduction
Rechargeable table cooling fan are essential to system that produce a significant amount of heat like computers and
others electronics component. Different system are engineered to work with specifics types of fans. Cooling fans come
in all shapes and size as well as voltage, airflow and case size. Some are even weather resistant and can stand up against
the elements. The control processing unit (CPU) generate the most heat and typical system. Besides, most of the CPU
need a cooling system because it very sensitive with high temperature. Without them, the CPU would overheat and least
functioning. But the CPU is not the only heat generating component in a system. The power supply also increase the
temperature of a system. So, although the CPU generates the most heat, the power supply also makes it. Necessary to
have a cooling system in place to keep temperature low and keep it from overheating.
The mechanism of PC cooling fan is fairly and does not make use of water or any such component. This rules out the
problem that are caused due to water leaks. Then, it also simple and can carry out even at home. This makes these
fans cost effective as one does not need to hire a qualified professional to carry out the installation process. It is are
inexpensive and easily affordable. Rechargeable Table Fan is one of invention that provide opportunity especially for
who want to have the cooling fans are more effective for users. This invention will upgrade the cooling fans that has
already in market today. The system of cooling fan will give supply for laptop for a various types of laptop. The function
of chargeable fan pads is to take over the charging for laptop using by the cooling fans that will give supply.

Previous Work
Safina Nisa, Lini [1] Mathew was design comparative analysis of speed control of DC motor on May-Jun 2013. DC
motor is a power actuator which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. DC motor is used in application
where wide speed ranges are required. The greatest advantage of dc motors may be speed control. DC motor can also
be controlled by a non-conventional control technique known as fractional-order PID (FOPID) control, a generalized
version of integer order control.
M.Abhinary and Sampath Rao [2] (2014) was design and analysis of an Aerial Scissor Lift. The Scissor lifts are the
elevating platforms that can be raised or lowered to various heights. The platform can be positioned horizontally beyond
the base. A scissor lift is a type of platform which moves in vertical direction. The mechanism incorporated to achieve
this function is the use of linked, folding supports in a crisscross ‘x’ pattern, known as a pantograph. The upward motion
is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the lowest set of supports, elongating the crossing pattern, and
propelling the work platform vertically upwards.
Leo Louis (2016) was created Principal of Arduino and using it as a tool for study and research. An Arduino is an open
source microcontroller which can be easily programmed, erased and reprogrammed at any instant of time. Arduino
platform was designed to provide an inexpensive and easy way for hobbyists, students and professionals to create devices
that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators. It is an open source computing platform that is used for
constructing and programming electronic devices.
The product is Smart Charging Technologies for Portable Electronics Devices. The smart charging concept described
above is applied to portable electronic devices then the characteristics of the charge and discharge cycles may change
slightly [5]. When a normal laptop computer is connected to its power supply it charges the battery continuously up to
full charge and then trickles. In contrast when connecting a smart charging laptop system to the electricity grid it would
usually not fully charge the battery in a single go, but rather there might be some interruptions in the charging during
periods in which the electricity demand in the grid outweighs the available supply.

Methodology
As we know the laptop user especially students always do their work or assignment and mostly their assignment not
handwriting but typing. Laptop is one of the important gadget to do the work without it the work or assignment may
irregular or messy. But laptop have own disadvantage when use the laptop for a long time period it will reduce the
battery consumption and it also make the CPU laptop become heat. The current charger and cooling fan at the market use
separately.it will make problem for user to bring cooling fan, charger and laptop because it use more space to keep.
This paper presents a new approach for generating supply or rechargeable charger for laptop by using rechargeable Li-On
battery. The Rechargeable table cooling fan have 3 in 1 function. It does not only act as charger for laptop but it also act
as cooling fan for laptop and stand fan for user. In additional, the table to put the laptop can adjust the height.

Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. Based on the
literature review, we made a case study to study the smart charging concept and cooling fan. Repairing on the model will
be made to further improve the result. The result obtained also can be a case study to study the feasibility of producing
commercialization the product. Rechargeable table cooling is a smart user product. It have 3 function in 1 product. It will
more give advantage to user when use the laptop. It will charge the laptop and also generate supply to cooling fan.

Abstract. Research and development efforts have been focused on developing novel concepts, low-cost systems, and
reliable time management. Reduce time, costs and energy consumption for a better life requires more attention because
some people have limited capabilities. Time management is relevance concept for the present as it can reduce time,
cost and energy consumption. The availability system that can show students know the lecturer presences. This paper
presents a new approach of the lecturer availability system using GSM. This design may prove to be a pioneer in the field
of research of time management capability.Now it is possible for student to know the presences of lecturer from the far
consumption distance.

Introduction
The development of digital information has led to rapid change in human lifestyle. The use of this information is very
important as it is vital in today’s modern life. As the technology grows, SMS technology has been widely accepted as a
part of medium of communication. The purpose of using SMS is to provide widest coverage at minimal cost.
Therefore, by using Global System for Mobile (GSM) modem to receive SMS, it would facilitate in controlling a device
from long distance, low in maintenance and independent from any physical geographical boundary. GSM, will receive
and send short messages. When a lecturer touches the card on the card detector, it automatically activates GSM. When a
student sends an order according to a lecturer’s code, GSM will reply to the order by following the lecturer’s status Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves to identify and track objects.
RFID takes the barcoding concept and digitizes it for the modern world providing the ability to identify an individual
item beyond just its product type.
This system will work with IR sensors, will detect temperature at a certain distance. When detecting the temperature
of the human body in the lecturer’s seat. If the sensor finds the temperature of the specified limit, the system will
immediately show at the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) either YES or NO. Besides, there is also a buzzer attached to it.
With this we also apply the buzzer in this project, the sound-proofing component. The buzzer functions as an indicator for
students to know the presence or absence of the lecturer. To make life easier for students, there will also be a push button
placed at the entrance of the lecturer’s room.
When the LCD display shows the presences, the buzzer will be active as well as the student can use it to call the lecturer
who wants to be met at front office in lecturer’s room. This will be easier for students to alert the lecturers consent as the
buzzer will ring once the button is pressed. Hence, the Inside Out System is a system that uses GSM modem and RFID
reader to indicate the presence of lecturers in Faculty of Mathematics, Science & Computer, and Polytechnic Ibrahim
Sultan.

Previous Work
Based on our review and research this kind of project has been held by one of our senior group. SMART INDICATING
SYSTEM is a system that is invented to show the presence of lecturers in office. It is designed to be able to switch ON
and OFF both green and red LED lights from a far distance just by sending SMS to the GSM modem. This system is
applicable for SIX (6) lecturers only and is designed to be used at Creative Design Centre, Polytechnic Ibrahim Sultan.
The problem that we identified before inventing this system is that the presence of lecturers in the office cannot be
identified before entering the office itself. The advantages of this system is that it will be able to notify the presence
of lecturers without entering the office. Besides, it will also be able to state the reasons for not being in the office. The
circuit of this system is supplied with 12V, 2A DC power supply. Initially, when the system is switched ON, all the SIX
(6) green LED lights will be switched ON too. “L1- Yes At Office” will appear on the LCD screen. Same goes for L2,
L3, L4, L5 and L6 (L=Lecturer). When L1 (Lecturer 1) sends SMS to the sim card in the GSM modem stating “No.
(Reason)” {Example: No. MC}, the green LED light for L1 will automatically switch OFF, the red LED light will switch
ON and the “L1- No. (Reason)” will appear on the LCD screen. Therefore, be able to identify the presence of lecturers
before even entering the office.

Methodology
The ‘INSIDE OUT’, Lecturer Availability System is placed at in front of lecturer office and also at lecturer table. First,
the process is START when the RFID read the card that have been scan then the GSM will be active where GSM will
send and receive message and reply message according to the changes in RFID .Meanwhile, when the IR sensor detect
the changes of surrounding temperature is started the LCD display. LCD display will display either ‘YES or NO’. If the
IR Sensor detect the human temperature, the LCD will display ‘YES’. Then, when the IR Sensor no able to detect any
changes of surrounding temperature LCD display will display ‘NO’. When this happens, the buzzer will on and can be
used. There will a button attached with LCD Display. When the button pressed the buzzer that fix at the lecturer’s desk
along with the IR Sensor will buzzing.

Fig. 1. Flow of methodology
Product Design
There are a few type of circuit that will be combined and included together to create this project. The circuits are Voltage
regulator (9-12V) IR Sensor circuit, LCD display circuit, Buzzer and button circuit, PIC18F873A circuit. We also used
RFID card detector and GSM Modem.
The Complete flow of lecturer availability system as follow first, the voltage regulator is used to convert the (9-12V) to
5V and finally, output is used for current flow to the other circuits. Then it will be given to the IR Sensor and the button
,IR will be in zero volt if its function. From this input it will flow to PIC18F873A which is given 5V of output to the
outputs, LCD display and also buzzer See Figure 2.

Keywords: Automatic Fan; Temperature; Arduino

Abstract: Automatic fan based on temperature is one of system which can detect and change the speed level
automatically. This temperature sensor LM35 will detect temperature surrounding to control the speed level. The
temperature sensor is a precision IC with its output proportional to the temperature. The input is also the temperature
sensor. Then, when the temperature sensor reach the value that have been set, the relay automatically will normally open
the speed level that have been set. The function of relay is like a switch that to control the speed level. The resulting data
will be sent to the control part of the Arduino. Arduino is one of the main tools that can connect hardware and software.
Arduino will be sent to the LCD display to display the information of the temperature level. The LCD will display the
value of temperature surrounding that can easily user to know.

Introduction
A fan is a machine used to create flow within a fluid, typically a gas such as air. The fan consists of a rotating
arrangement of vanes or blades which act on the fluid. The rotating assembly of blades and hub is known as an impeller,
a rotor, or a runner. Usually, it is contained within some form of housing or case. This may direct the airflow or increase
safety by preventing objects from contacting the fan blades. Most fans are powered by electric motors, but other
sources of power may be used, including hydraulic motors an internal combustion engine.
Fan produce flows with high volume and low pressure (although higher than ambient pressure), as opposed to
compressor which produce high pressures at a comparatively low volume. A fan blade will often rotate when exposed to
a fluid stream, and devices that take advantage of this. In Malaysia, fan is an electrical equipment that almost household
used. Fan used to alleviate the consequences of sunny day or hot weather. Although, public now days prefers to use air
conditioning but not all people affordable to use and waste the electricity. With the temperature control fan, it can help
people and also saving the electricity.
Temperature controlled fan is an alternative way to deal with the speed of the motor. Temperature control is a process
in which the temperature of an object is measured and the passage of heat energy into or out of the object is adjusted to
achieve a desired temperature. The temperature controlled fan has advantages for example it speed varies automatically,
so that it controls the speed without using it manually. Then, it is help full to disable people and it can save energy by
slowing down its speed in low temperature. Other than that, temperature control fan has disadvantages for example the
micro controller is the heart of the circuit, if controller is damaged the whole system will be interrupted. Then, the speed
control is independent of individual preferences.

Previous Work
Vaibhav Bhatia & Gavish Bhatia (2013) was developed the room temperature based fan speed control system using pulse
width modulation technique .This project shows the design and simulation of a novel fan speed control system based
on room temperature using pulse width modulation technique. The duty cycle is made to vary according to the room
temperature and the fan speed is controlled accordingly. This article also elucidates how the autonomous speed control
of fan is done based on data from the temperature sensor. The general terms of this project attached for simulation,
temperature, speed, and fan.
Sushma Verma & Arpita Das, (2009) was developed Automatic temperature controlled fan using thermistor. This project
is about how the speed of a fan can be controlled, based on temperature sensor. It is also a part of smart home application
where the fan will gradually increase its speed if the temperature is increasing. In this project the main intension is to
control the fan by heating the sensor, i.e. the thermistor, where the speed of the fan is dependent and controlled by any
device’s temperature like PC. By modifying the circuit slightly, it can also be used to control the room temperature,
depending on the property of thermistor.

Y. Serhat et. al, (2002) was developed temperature control applications by means of a PIC16F877 microcontroller. This
article project is about the temperature data is acquired from LM 35 temperature sensor and the control output determines
speed of a 220V AC fan by means of a PWM and a triac triggering circuits. The heat control system will be used to cool a
highly sensitive measurement device. Refer to the results, performances of these two control methods are compared. This
project are used the PIC16F877 as a microcontroller and the input are temperature sensor LM35. Cooling rate is reduced
relative to the reduction in the error and could not remove the heated air away sufficiently.

ELIP 2018

Mustafa Saad & Hossam Abdoalgader, (2014) was developed the automatic fan speed control system using
microcontroller. This project is about the using microcontroller to control the fan speed. Usually, when the temperature is
high the fan set at high speed and at lower temperatures the fan is operated with lower speed. The circuit with LM35DZ
temperature sensor, PIC16F877A microcontroller, brush less DC motor and few of electronic components is designed
and implemented to control the fan speed automatically. M. A. A. Mashud & Dilruba Yasmin, (2015) was developed
automatic room temperature controlled fan speed controller using PT-100. This project is about the automatically
controlled of the fan speed by sensing the room temperature. The system is divided into six main parts, namely, the
low-voltage power supply, fixed voltage circuit, sensor & driver circuit, subtraction circuit, buffer circuit and fan dimmer
circuit

Methodology
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input
could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena. The
output is generally a signal that is converted to human-readable display at the sensor location or transmitted electronically
over a network for reading or further processing. Temperature Sensor or Temperature Sensors is a component that can
change the amount of heat to a quantity of electricity so it can detect the symptoms of temperature changes on certain
objects. The temperature sensor measures the amount of heat / cold energy produced by an object that allows us to know
or detect the symptoms of these temperature changes in the form of Analog and Digital outputs. Temperature sensors are
also from the transducer family.

Next, for the “Auto Fan” project, the selection of sensor is temperature sensor LM35. The LM35 sensor is interfaced with
the microcontroller to measure the room temperature. The function is that it gives an analog voltage output per degree
change in temperature. In this project, temperature sensor LM35 will be the input. A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a
flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light- modulating properties of liquid
crystals. LCDs are used in a wide range of applications including computer monitors, televisions, instrument panels,
aircraft cockpit displays, and indoor and outdoor signage.
Small LCD screens are common in portable consumer devices such as digital cameras, watches, calculators, and
mobile telephones, including smart phones. LCD screens are also used on consumer electronics products such as DVD
players, video game devices and clocks. There are many type of LCD but for this project, the selection of LCD display
is LCD display 16x2 that are suitable for electronic project. A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line
and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix and also has two register namely,
Command and Data. The function of LCD display for the project is to show the reading of temperature and also the speed
condition of the fan.
Next, the main for the project is micro-controller Arduino. Arduino is a computer hardware and software company,
project, and user community that designs and manufactures microcontroller kits for building digital devices and
interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. Arduino board designs use a variety of
microprocessors and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that
may be interfaced to various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits.
Besides that, the boards feature serial communications interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models,
which are also used for loading programs from personal computers. The microcontrollers are typically programmed using
a dialect of features from the programming languages C and C++. There are many types of Arduino for example UNO
and ATMEGA and etc. The function of Arduino in the project is the Arduino will get reading of temperature from the
sensor LM35. Then, the Arduino will process the information and send to the LCD for the display. Next, the Arduino also
used to control the relay function to normally open and closed that means switch on and off the speed level condition.

The Figure 1 shows the circuit of Auto Fan. The circuit shows the input of the circuit that is temperature control sensor.
The process is response in Arduino Uno board and it will send to the output that is on LCD, LED, relay and the fan. The
fan will spinning based on the temperature sensor value get. It will show the temperature value on the LCD screen and
the LED is represented the speed of the fan.

Figure 2: Flow chart of auto fan

The Figure 2 shows the flow chart of the Auto Fan. It show the temperature sensor is the main input and the relay the
second after input. After that, the relay will response with the temperature value to switched-on the fan based on the
speed. If the value of temperature is below 26⁰C, the fan will at position 0 or off. Then, if the temperature value is
between 27⁰C to 29⁰C the fan will switch-on and will be spinning in speed 1 that are slow. Next, if the value is between
30⁰C to 32⁰C the fan will be spinning in speed 2 and if the value is more than 33⁰C the fan will spinning at the maximum
speed that are speed 3. For simulation of this project, we have used the Arduino software to run the coding created. After
that, to display the simulation we used the Proteus 8 professional software. We have designed the circuit and run with
the Arduino coding. Besides that, on the Proteus software, the circuit is designed with the suitable components and have
follow the coding instructions.

design has be created by our team and can be more impressive. The casing box will connect to AC supply using adapter
plug because it need 12v. Then, the fan is connected to AC supply by using the plug.

Conclusion
Every project that is created always has their objectives and benefits. However, there is a lot of weakness detected but
objectives can be gained. Based on our circuits analysis in invent and finish up of this project, this project can bring a lot
of benefit for electrical wiring and instalment process. Through this project, the first objective is achieved successfully,
that is to design a fan that is able to change the speed according to the ambient temperature. The temperature can control
the speed level of fan. It can help the users who want to change the level speed in automatically without push the
button. Then, the next objective also accomplished that is to build a program that is able to track and display ambient
temperature using Arduino Uno Board. Many things that we learn to use the Arduino for example Arduino software,
number of bit use and other. There are many function of Arduino micro- controller for example used as switch, timer, and
one of them is for ‘Auto Fan’.
Lastly, with the two objectives above the project can be commercial and generally accepted for users. Next, the project
also can become the one of innovation product that can contribute for our technologies. The project achieved the
objective target and be proved perfectly.

has been rapidly increased in the past few years. Reuse energy is relevance concept for the present as it can reduce costs
and energy consumption. The power system that can generate power 24 hours a day is to be next attention. This paper
presents a new approach of a safety road barrier with a new innovation. This design may prove to be a pioneer in the
field of research of human safety. Now it is possible to build a safety road barrier to decrease the fatality percentage
that caused by accidents, with new creativities, and innovations that not only can help to reduce the usage of energy
consumption, as well as to save more lives.

Introduction
On 3rd July 2009, after a car crash that took away two police officers’ life in Gong Kapas last night, police traffic became
a victim of an accident. The victim is hit by a car during a roadblock operation at 76.9KM Jalan Kuala Terengganu
– Kuantan in Dungun [1]. A same tragedy happened on 23rd November 2016 - Selangor, a JPJ officer died during a
roadblock operation along with a few other officers because he got ran over by a lorry trailer in an accident near the Setia
Alam toll plaza [2].
A road barrier is a convenient and effective creation to the government parties like JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan)
and police. Road barrier is used to obstruct vehicles from entering a specific entry or restricted area. It can also be used
as a hindrance during a roadblock operation. Road barrier can also be used when there is an accident occurs or near the
construction areas.

Methodology
Our research began when accidents involving vehicles and police officers who were on duty on the rise. Among the
accidents involved a truck driver. When doing the research, we found that the views or spots of the truck at the front are
limited. When the vehicle is very close to the front of the truck, the risk of a breach is high. So we thought of a way to
solve this problem. We use LED screen to display the warning more clearly to the drivers. With the help of LED screens,
it can reduce the risk of accidents because of the visible high frequency and the brightness of red color. LED screen can
also function at night and dark, including the heavy rain weather. This paper presents a new approach of a safety road
barrier with a clear, highly visible LED screen, and a DC to AC converter. The recycle materials such as joint pipes, and
reuse LED bulbs are used. Whereas the power electronic circuits will use existing components on the market.
Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main
focus areas of literature review are literatures related to successful applications of DC to AC power converter. Based on
the literature review, a power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC)
to alternating current (AC). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the
design of the specific device or circuitry.

There will be a few circuits and equipment that will be combined and included together to build this project. To build the
Future Road Barrier, these are some of the important equipment: warning lights bulb, battery, inverter, LED screen, and
motor gear circuit. The warning lights bulb and LED screen’s function is to give signs to the road users, and to warn the
drivers that there will be a roadblocks in front where they are heading to. Meanwhile, battery is used as a supply and the
inverter is used to convert the input supply from 12V to 240V. Lastly, geared motor is used to drop and keep the “feet” of
the Future Road Barrier, for the convenience for the officers. See figure 2.

Conclusion
At the end of the final project report, we can conclude that our project “Future Road Barrier” is successfully constructed.
However, there are also many ways to upgrade the project. For example, instead of using the heavy Light Emitting Diode
(LED) screen, we could use a thin and foldable LED screen; unfortunately, we could not afford to get that. Next, we
could improve our project by installing a motor to keep and drop the stand of the road barrier. Furthermore, using a year
to plan and build this project, my group mates and I learned how to manage our time properly, and being responsible.
Although our schedule was packed with other subjects’ assignments, we still managed to use our time wisely, and to
be responsible and respectful to our project, as well as the other assignments. Last but not least, throughout the whole
project progression, not only our bonding as a team has rapidly increased, our supervisor also put endless of efforts to
guide us from the beginning till the end of this project.

Abstract. This project is applied from observations based on the current manual method that students are installing
logic gate circuits to get output according to the formula they have learned and they also print notes for each chapter.
The objective of this project is to enable students to access notes material for this course in a timely manner and can also
simulate the trainer kit with E note application. These are all set to solve some of the problems that arise with the use
of existing methods among them, the cost of printing notes as well as labs is not enough tools to operate the practices
of each group. As a result, the entire project was successfully produced with an average time saving rate compared to a
manual of 50%. Based on these results, the results of the analysis and discussion have been made that the trainer kit logic
gate and Digital Electronic application have achieved the objectives discussed. In addition, this tool also proved to save
time rather than manual way.

Introduction
In the midst of technological advances that have spread to various sectors, current teaching and learning activities can be
combined with technology. Teaching and learning activities using technology have provided a good impact to all students
and teachers. For more information, the facility can be utilized since the advent of Android. This Google Operating
System has provided a wide range of supportive student learning applications. This applications is available for free
through the Google Play Store. We can also download the application from the website or google drive.
So, our group intends to develop applications for Digital Electronic subjects. This E-notes application includes notes,
video links, and quizzes for the use of students taking the course in polytechnics and other places. This application
can also help students in terms of understanding. This is because, this app can be used anywhere. This app is also a
user-friendly E-note app. In addition, this application can also control the logic gate trainer kit that can help students to
practice their skills without any problems. Students have been doing practical manually in lab which they fix the circuit
for each and every logic gate to get the output as stated in theory. This trainer kit will show the logic gate simulation
without taking any longer time.

Previous work
The rapid development of technology today has a tremendous impact on almost all systems across the globe. This
technological advancement not only simplifies the process of a system and improves the quality and quantity of revenue,
and it even speeds up the workflow. In addition, the use of technology is also seen more attractive and efficient. Through
this healthy development, various parties have begun to take seriously the attention of technology and are linked to
various fields. Among the areas of focus are education, where instructors begin to emphasize the use of technology in
teaching and learning (R & D) at various levels of study.
The use of technology in R & D, or the term “educational technology” has begun to be implemented extensively either
at school or in higher education. In coordination with the Ministry of Education (MOE - now known as the Ministry
of Education) to enable the use of technology in R & D at the school level, educators’ trainees at the teacher education
institute (IPG) have been exposed to various skills related to technology utilization in R & D; use of applications or
software and teaching aids (computer, projector, LCD). The ministry’s commitment in this matter is further explained by
the existence of the Education Technology Division under the Education Sector, KPM since 1988 again.
While at tertiary level, although there is no coordination from ministries at higher learning institutions (IPTs) at the
school level, however, the majority of HEIs have used technology as an important medium in R & D, for example;
the use of e-learning at University Science Islam Malaysia (USIM), known as; Global Open Access Learning System
(GOALS), at University Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), known as; MyGuru, and more. Unlimited technology and
boundaries, which are constantly evolving from day to day, plus continuous incentives from the ministries have created a
healthy phenomenon among R & D researchers to highlight various studies pertaining to the use of technology in R & D.
The following are some previous studies involving technology and R & D: Proceedings of the International Seminar on
Sustainability of Insan 2014, has presented a detailed description of computerized language games primarily based on the
website, as well as lists almost all of the available features and can be tailored for the use of Arabic language learning.
As a result of its study, the use of online applications; this e-Portfolio has attracted the interest of students, making it
easier for them to learn Arabic learning. In addition, he concluded that the online application; this e-Portfolio is suitable
for use by all student levels. Shaharuddin Md Salleh & Zaidatun Tasir (2011), in the journal entitled:

• Improve the understanding and mastery of the students towards the lessons.
• Provide equal learning opportunities to all diverse students.
• Improve student motivation.
• Enable individual learning.
• Allows students to access difficult information
• Allows students to collect information that takes a long time or is too expensive to obtain.
• Create a fun and challenging learning environment.
• Allows students to experiment or experiment with difficult, overly expensive, impossible or dangerous
experiments to be performed in the usual way.
• Increase student creativity and imagination.
• Provide opportunities for students to learn effectively with minimal guidance. • Improve ICT skills.

Methodology
Among the areas of focus are education, where instructors begin to emphasize the use of technology in teaching and
learning (R & D) at various levels of study. The use of technology in R & D, or the term “educational technology” has
begun to be implemented extensively either at school or in higher education. Indirectly, this will attract students and they
will show positive reaction to study with the use of technology.
This paper presents a new approach for using application as a medium to study the particular subject which is Digital
Electronic and also to control the trainer kit of logic gate. Developing a new application which can attract students. The
materials such as stainless steel and Perspex is used to prevent the trainer kit to get rust or crack easily.

Conclusion
Once this project is completed, we are able to achieve the objectives set out. Among these objectives are i) Students can
access this application in a fast time, ii) We can simulate props with E note application, and iii) Facilitate students to
better understand logic gate practice.
Additionally, basic knowledge of “coding” is needed to ensure the smooth running of the project. Lack of expertise on
“coding” in this project also results in the smooth running of the project. We also hope that this created project will help
and facilitate students.

Abstract: Stock alert system is an automatic stock detector system. This detector detects the stock of an item by setting
the weight of the item. This stock alert system is a handmade sensor using the weight concept of the object. The weight
of the object is determined by means of a weighting tool. So, a stock of goods will be placed on the weighing device.
When stocks of prescribed items are less than 20 percent and 10 percent, this system will warn users by sending SMS to
mobile using GSM components. In addition, the system also comes with a 16x2 LCD screen and red, green and yellow
LED lights to indicate the stock level of the item. The weight of the goods can be weighted by using computer software
known as ‘VISUAL BASIC’ which is transmitted from Arduino type control. Arduino will ship to computer software that
can display the stock information of the item. Warning stock system that comes with computer software makes it easy for
consumers to know the stocks of the remaining goods and the users are able to provide new stocks initially without haste.

Introduction
Weighing scales (or weigh scales or scales) are devices to measure weight or calculate mass. Spring balances or spring
scales measure force (weight) by balancing the weight due to gravity against the force on a spring, whereas a balance or
pair of scales using a balance beam compares masses by balancing the weight due to the mass of an object against the
weight of a known mass or masses. Either type can be calibrated to read in units of force (weight) such as newtons, or
in units of mass such as kilograms, but the balance or pair of scales using a traditional balance beam to compare masses
will read correctly for mass even if moved to a place with a different (non-zero) gravitational field strength (but would
then not read correctly if calibrated in units of force), while the spring balance would read correctly in force in a different
gravitational field strength (but would not read correctly if calibrated in units of mass).
Scales and balances are widely used in commerce, as many products are sold and packaged by weight. Very accurate
balances, called analytical balances, are used in scientific fields such as chemistry.

Previous Work
Although records dating to the 1700s refer to spring scales for measuring weight, the earliest design for such a
device dates to 1770 and credits Richard Salter, an early scale-maker. Spring scales came into wide usage in the
United Kingdom after 1840 when R. W. Winfield developed the candlestick scale for weighing letters and packages,
required after the introduction of the Uniform Penny Post. Postal workers could work more quickly with spring scales
than balance scales because they could be read instantaneously and did not have to be carefully balanced with each
measurement. By the 1940s various electronic devices were being attached to these designs to make readings more
accurate. Load cells, small nodes that convert pressure (or force) to a digital signal, have their beginnings as early as the
late nineteenth century, but it was not until the late twentieth century that they became accurate enough for widespread
usage. Most countries regulate the design and servicing of scales used for commerce. This has tended to cause scale
technology to lag behind other technologies because expensive regulatory hurdles are involved in introducing new
designs. Nevertheless, there has been a recent [when?] trend to “digital load cells” which are actually strain-gauge cells
with dedicated analogue converters and networking built into the cell itself. Such designs have reduced the service
problems inherent with combining and transmitting a number of 20 millivolt signals in hostile environments.
Government regulation generally requires periodic inspections by licensed technicians using weights whose calibration is
traceable to an approved laboratory. Scales intended for non-trade use such as those used in bathrooms, doctor’s offices,
kitchens (portion control), and price estimation (but not official price determination) may be produced, but must by law
be labelled “Not Legal for Trade” to ensure that they are not re-purposed in a way that jeopardizes commercial interest.
In the United States, the document describing how scales must be designed, installed, and used for commercial purposes
is NIST Handbook 44. Legal for Trade (LFT) certification usually approve the readability as repeatability/10 to ensure a
maximum margin of error of 10%.

71

ELIP 2018

Because gravity varies by over 0.5% over the surface of the earth, the distinction between force due to gravity and
mass is relevant for accurate calibration of scales for commercial purposes. Usually the goal is to measure the mass of
the sample rather than its force due to gravity at that particular location. Traditional mechanical balance-beam scales
intrinsically measured mass. But ordinary electronic scales intrinsically measure the gravitational force between the
sample and the earth, i.e. the weight of the sample, which varies with location. So such a scale has to be re-calibrated
after installation, for that specific location, in order to obtain an accurate indication of mass.

Methodology
Based on the studies, Malaysian community very difficult to know the information of stock product left because engaging
with various affairs and responsibility that needs to be done until forgot the stock goods is getting diminished. Malaysian
community especially traders, farming, and agriculture is very difficult to know their business when the stock is out
of stock because of the lack of sensitivity of the remaining stock condition. In addition, Malaysian community also
entrepreneurship courses are very busy in the pursuit of his career until he forgets the stocks of his stocked goods such
as rice, spices and etc. In industries in Malaysia it also requires an alternative that helps employees in keeping stock of
manufactured goods from running out of time and does not waste time looking for new stocks.
Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main
focus areas of literature review are literatures related to successful applications of Weight Scale. Based on the literature
review, a model of Stock Alert System is developed. Next stage, the Visual Studio is developed. Repairing on the
model will be made to further improve the result. The result obtained also can be a case study to study the feasibility of
producing commercialize the product.

Weight Scale is used to measure the weight of stock. Each stock have its own weight value so the Visual Studio will
functioning to change the percentage of weight and the display of colour will show when the weight of stock goods less
or more that what has been set.

Conclusion
For the overall project, we produce to aims the facilitate users to observe and check their stock goods and added with
GSM component that afford to send SMS when stock goods decline 18 percent. Furthermore, visual software basic can
also link in Arduino to further facilitate user to check their stock by using the computer only and changing heavy limit
stock of certain item to be easier use to various types of stock goods consumer. We hope what we produce this can further
developed because it could help consumer and facilitate user in the future.
Other than that, we can also apply what we study for in Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan. Besides, indirectly we have been
able to plan a project that could provide convenience and benefit to users. There are a few proposals improve for future
for this project is Buzzer component addition as bell application when stock goods diminishing. Besides, to add the
Bluetooth component as android application that can be used in smartphone to further facilitate user to check their stock.

Abstract. This project is applied from a temperature-based high in the car when placed in a hot and open area. The
objective of this project is to design a device capable of producing hot air in the car using the inhalation method.
Additionally, there are several scopes of research that have been set in this project i.e. setting the temperature in the car
i.e. 27 ° c, they are a functioning device with a 12V battery source that can be charged and able to match the existing
project. All of these are fixed to solve some of the problems that are high temperatures in cars and safety factors due to
high car theft cases. Materials for this project should also have special features i.e. heat-resistant and waterproof. Based
on the literature review conducted, the perspective is best suited for this project. While for components generation
process, a methodology study is used to plan the project’s production process using a flowchart as a guide for project
planning and production planning.

Introduction
Cars are a very important asset in today’s life. It is a transport for users where it helps to facilitate user travel. If the
weather is hot, the car is equipped with air conditioning system that works to cool air and provide comfort to the user.
When the car is turned off, the temperature in the car can be high depending on the temperature of the car’s environment.
Therefore, it requires something to emit hot air in the car and can lower the temperature and maintain a comfortable
temperature in the car. Additionally, parking a car in a lot of cars and open can make criminals easy to do theft. So get the
idea of making a product that works to inhale air in the car along with a security system called Temperature Control Air
Blower. This product consists of LCD, temperature sensor (LM35), GSM, Digital IR sensor, Bluetooth and fan to inhale
air in the car out of it. This device can inhale the hot air that is in the car to maintain the ideal temperature. In addition,
the car safety system is also guaranteed by the Digital IR Sensor and GSM that will detect any touches on the device.

Previous Work
This project was originally designed by Sonray Technology in Taiwan named (KULCAR- Solar Car Cooler) which was
originally used to produce hot air from vehicles using solar energy as a power source and did not use any batteries. This
product uses two motors to move two designed fans. It only works when the solar panel on this product is exposed to
sunlight. By upgrading the previous project, we used the PCB Board and the designed source code that the fan will start
working when the temperature reaches 30 ° c and the fan will start to stop when the optimum temperature is set at 26 ° c.
Additionally, our project has also added its functionality namely security system for vehicles using Digital IR sensor and
GSM for to make calls to users when the Digital IR sensor detects the touch.

Methodology
As we know, many car users complain when they get into the car after parking in the open and hot spaces. This is
because the temperature in the car is high because it is in it. Therefore, the inhalation method has been used to solve the
problem to inhale hot air in the exit car. Thus, the fan has been used to inhale the air.
Using the inhalation method is proven to lower the temperature in the car based on the previous products that try to solve
the same problem. This product uses a 12V battery as an adapter to switch on the circuit and other devices. The Digital
IR Sensor is also used on this product. This is to increase the level of product safety and at the same time maintain car
safety.
Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main
focus areas of literature review are literatures related to successful of Temperature Controlled Air Blower. Based on
the literature review, a model of Temperature Controlled Air Blower is developed. Next stage, the circuit of electronic
is developed. Repairing on the model will be made to further improve the result. The result obtained also can be a case
study to study the feasibility of producing commercialize the product.
Temperature Controlled Air Blower is used to inhale hot air in the exit car to make the temperature comfortable after the
car users get in. Using the 12V battery to power, the GSM that works to contact the car owner if there is a danger mark
on the product and the car can work without problems.

Product and Design :
The importance of this project’s study is to make the car users feel comfortable when entering the car with the ideal
temperature conditions even when cars are parked in hot areas. This is because, the fan will start working when the
temperature is 40 ° c and will stop when the temperature reaches 35 ° c. The project also reduces the rate of car theft due
to the presence of the Digital IR Sensor that works to detect any further touches and then calls the owner of the car.

Abstract. Research and development efforts have been focused on developing novel concepts, low-cost systems, reliable
and getting some interest. The objective of this project is to upgrade the traditional game so that it cannot be forgotten
by today’s young people who are increasingly inclined towards the present virtual game. Also, using light media to
attracting children’s attention. Now, we have created one of the traditional games and combine it with our technology
now days.

Introduction
There are many types of traditional games that has been played by our parents in their younger days. Such as, teng teng,
galah panjang, congkak, wau, gasing and so on. However, this project is only to attracting children’s attention on this
game so that the traditional games does not forgotten by this generation.
This traditional game is a game set up by Malaysians from the past. The ultimate goal for any game certainly does not
run away from entertainment and joy. In addition, indirect recreational vision is for sweating to keep the body in good
health. However, in order to appreciate and turn on a game, the skill is required to customize the game. This concept is
well-known in one game played in the villages especially from the past to this day.
From this issue comes our idea of ‘Happy Happy Teng Teng’ which is aimed at attracting children in modern times
that are increasingly forgetting the traditional games played by parents in their childhood. ‘Happy Happy Teng Teng’
works by stepping on the platform provided. When the platform goes down, it will emit light through the platform. We
use LEDs as a light to attract children and use rechargeable 12V batteries for user convenience. Finally, we also make
improvements in terms of user convenience with our easy-to-use gaming facilities that can be brought anywhere. As well
as the batteries we use are rechargeable batteries. In addition we also use materials that have high resistance Acrylic.

Background research
In today’s modern era, there are various sophisticated gadgets in the market that can download various types of digital
game apps. Among them are smartphones, which are popular among children as they are more likely to spend time with
games downloaded from the Aps store. Therefore, there are many traditional games that have been forgotten, including
Baling Tin, Batu Seremban, Congkak, Teng-teng, Guli and more. Hence, our project aims to preserve the traditional
game from being forgotten by the next generation as the traditional game is a national legacy by renewing the pattern or
form of the game. The traditional game that we will be updating is the game of the teng-teng.

Methodology
As we know that most of the toys now days uses battery to generate electricity over to use. Most of the battery that toys
use disposable battery, such as alkaline battery that can only use once and disposed after use. This will cost more waste
on money on the battery, so we use the LI-ion battery 12V that can be recharged again. The LED now days have many
types that can be found around the world. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two- lead semiconductor light
source. It is a p–n junction diode that emits light when activated. The type of LED that we used is 12V Voltage 72W
SMD5050 300 LED Strip Lights DIY White Lamp Strip colour. This is because of the build in resistor and can be used
compatible with the battery that we used.
Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main
focus areas of literature review are the products that we used to produce this project. Since this project has never been
executed by anyone we have too little resources.

Abstract. Todays, more innovation toilet that create for people comfort. Mostly, innovation that applied in toilet is
something that makes people easy to use the toilet. Such as auto flush that people no need to flush the toilet after use.
After that, added some music in toilet that can make people not bored in toilet and recycle water that use in sink for use
to flush the toilet but all of the innovation not same with our project. This project is applied based on our observations on
the use of toilets by communities in Malaysia especially students. From there we take the initiative with the opportunity
given in finding the title for our project. We are trying to find out how to overcome the main problem of toilet utilization
in Malaysia. Our target is students; this is because the beginning of the lesson is suitable from small or juvenile.

Introduction
The main problem we can say is the toilet lock damage. In addition, mostly of the toilet lamps light up for most 24 hours.
This will cause a waste of electricity. Therefore, we apply our project by using magnetic lock as manual latches as well as
float switches as media to educate students in the use of the toilet. We also adjust the toilet switch with this system so that
the toilet lamp light up when students used the toilet. Furthermore, this system is not as though as it is more of a lesson
because the magnetic lock is used not just the lock for to the toilet but also for lock the students inside the toilet if they
not flush the toilet. The process of the system is easy, if the student wants to use the toilets and as usual close the door
automatically the door will be locked and the light will open and if the user finishes. Students must flush the toilet and
within 5 seconds automatically the magnet on the door is released.

Previous Work
Based on the previous study we surveyed from the internet, the toilet system in Japan has a remarkable system that is a
public toilet in Japan upgraded by adding a pipe branch over the toilet pump tank and connected with a sink. The existing
toilet system in Malaysia, when the toilet pump is used water will come out all at the same time and new water will get
into the tank. The freshwater inlet actually comes from the tank. Japanese parties have done research on wastage and
consequently create a remarkable system for their country. Therefore, the pipe connected to the sink releases water into
the tank after the sink is used and the water entering the tank is the water used from the sink to remain as long as the sink
is used. Accordingly, the water used for the toilet pump is the water from the sink.

Public toilets also have buttons that have their own function on the right side of the toilet bowl. Like the toilets at KLIA
(Kuala Lumpur International Airport), toilets in Japan also have a fountain system removed from below. For that reason,
the button at the right end of his function as a water speed changer by turning the button. The second button, the shower
button, is to wash and then the ‘bidet’ button is also used for women. After that, due to seasoned Japanese country, the
toilet bowl is equipped with a heating system and the system will work in the event of winter arrivals.
More interestingly, the female toilet has a slight twist on the male toilet. The difference is that there is one tool and the
tool is called ‘otohime’. Not all female toilets exist. The function of the tool is to remove the water without removing the
water because it wants to cover the unpleasant noise when in the toilet and the sound of the tool can be changed.
Compared to our project, our system is similar to the public toilet in Japan that is cleanliness and savings but our project
is more about education and teaching. As a result, most public toilet users in Malaysia are not responsible for hygiene.
Normally Malaysians will continue to go out but with our project system, consumers need to pump the old toilet before
going out of the toilet. About savings should also be highlighted, our project’s electrical savings are not about solar and
batteries but related lighting. The lights will light up if the user enters the toilet and most of the toilets in Malaysia, the
lights on the toilet are lit even if there is no user in it. Therefore, we have adjusted the lights with our system when no
light user is off.
On hygiene, our project only focuses on the cleanliness of the toilet bowl rather than the whole toilet. Lastly, most public
toilets in Malaysia, especially in educational institutions such as schools, colleges, universities as well as public toilets
are often faced with problems such as door locks or so-called door bolts often damaged by irresponsible users. Therefore,
our project upgrades or replaces door latches with automatic magnetic locks. Magnetic locks not only provide full
security but also provide convenience to users with doors will be opened after users pump the toilet.

Abstract. Research and development efforts have been focused on developing the concepts, low-cost system and simple
technology. Designed an incubator that easy to use with a big benefit to the farmer. Producing an incubator that can hatch
large quantity of egg in the same time in 21th day. So this project can overcome the problem of high market demand for
chicken.

Introduction
For the term of hatcher, it is define as a device simulating avian incubation by keeping eggs warm and in the correct
humidity. Designing a device that can be function as a hatcher for eggs and also can make the eggs turn automatically and
simulate of how real hen incubate their eggs naturally. Using traditional method, farmer need to wait for a hen to incubate
their egg before the eggs become chicks. Under ordinary condition, a hen will sit on the eggs and start too broody. The
state of being broody is controlled by instinct, hormones and lightning conditions. They will lay a clutch of eggs, then
stop egg-laying and sit on them for 21 days until they hatch. The problem is hen cannot be able to incubate eggs within a
large quantity at a same time. So farmer cannot be able to fulfil the demand for a large number of chicks in the market.
To solve this kind of problem, this product will be able to incubate eggs in a large quantity. It also will be able to help
poultry farmer to produce more egg in their production line. It also will give the best and actual condition at the egg to
incubate like a real hen brooding its eggs. A hatcher is supposed to be able to set the perfect environment and condition
for an egg to incubate because it regulates the factors such as temperature, humidity and turning eggs when necessary.

Previous Work
Currently most incubator are built up with different technologies system but still using a sensor to control the
environment temperature inside the incubator in order to maintain the temperature. [1] Said that the incubator used
for the study can hold up about 250 of eggs. In that case, this project will give best temperature environment which is
the ideal temperature for eggs where the temperature in the hatcher will be controlled automatically using sensor. This
temperature is very important in order to produce a good, quality and healthy chicks.
The incubator used an Arduino based incubator [2]. It’s used Arduino to take full control of our lamp, fan and DC motor
power window. The paper also said the best temperature for eggs inside incubator is 37°C, humidity level 60-75% and a
proper eggs turning interval will

give high rate of hatchability. It also used a DHT22 sensor to measure the perfect temperature and humidity for the eggs.
The incubator used a force air system eggs which can result hatching different type of eggs on a conveyor rotating system
[3]. The incubator used temperature and humidity sensors to measure the condition of temperature and humidity inside
the hatcher. The turning eggs system of the incubator used a direct current geared motor with low speed. Meanwhile, this
project used DHT22 sensor to measure the humidity and temperature inside the incubating chamber.
Designing an incubator that capable of controlling and monitoring temperature automatically within its range which is
32-39C [4]. The incubator used different types of sensors for examples infrared sensors, thermal cameras or any other
temperatures measurement technique. The incubator can produced a temperature manipulations around 38°C which can
be appropriate for hatching. For this project, the temperature and humidity can be controlled automatically by using
Arduino systems. DHT22 sensor used to control the temperature which is about 38°C. The incubator used an ATmega16
microcontroller to control the environment inside the hatcher automatically as explained by [5]. The system used a
temperature sensor to control the condition during the incubating process. The incubator used an incandescent lamp and
air circulating fan to maintain the temperature inside the incubator is about 37 to 38.5. In order to turn the eggs, it used a
gear motor for tilting the egg holder.

Methodology
In implementation stage, project planning is the most important aspects. Proper planning should be emphasized to make
sure the project will be constructed successfully and also to minimize the difficulties while undertaking the project. It is
very important to have this schematic planning and implementation in order to complete the simulation software and the
prototype on time. The methodology of flow chart on figure 1 shows the overall view for this project.

We search the idea for our project by looking the problem that chicken farmer faced. We started to collect important
information and data about our project using internet and some online article from blog and other sources. We begin to
search some reference to guide us to create and also to understand about the circuit operation for our project. Moreover,
we also choose and using the suitable sensor and components such as STC 1000. Then, we started to create the circuit of
Eggs Hatcher using Proteus software. We also went to the electronic component factory to get further information on the
price of the component that will be used in our Eggs Hatcher. Lastly, we started the progression of our project and will
continue to next step.

Product Design
There are a few circuit that will be combined and included together to create this project.
The circuit are led circuit, buzzer circuit, timer circuit and the main component STC 1000.

Conclusion
Every project have undertaken its own interests and objectives. Similarly, to this “Eggs Hatcher” project. Although many
weaknesses in this project had occurred but surely the objective of the project is achieved. Based on the circuit analysis in
creating and completing this project, it found that the project is designed in order to give benefit to the farmer and poultry
industry. It will proved that this incubator will solve the problem of the number demanding for chicken in this country.
With the creation of this project, it at least can give chance to any low budget farmer to start a business by producing
chick from egg and then can grow their farming industry bigger and biggest. The final project is expected to be utilized
fully, accepted and adopted and in accordance with the development of technology in this era as well as the results
obtained from this project can meet the needs of all users.

Abstract. Speed is one of the basic reasons for vehicle accident. Many lives could have been saved if emergency service
could get accident information and reach in time. Nowadays, GPS has become an integral part of a vehicle system.
This paper proposes to utilize the capability of a GPS receiver to airbag system of a vehicle and detect accident basing
on activated switch of airbag system and send accident location to an Alert Service Centre. The GPS will monitor the
airbag system of vehicle through a Microcontroller Unit. Whenever the airbag system active, it will assume that accident
occurred. The system will then send the accident location acquired from the GPS by utilizing the GSM network. This will
help to reach the rescue service in time and save the valuable human life.

Introduction.
Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animal and good from one location to another. Modes of transport
include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space but in this case we focus on road. The field can be divided into
infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Transport is important because it enables trade between people, which is essential
for the development of civilization. In this project, we use some of application transportation that is a car. A car is a
wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most definition of
the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on road, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have
four wheels with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than good.
Next, we want to describe about how to get information about car accident place. For now, the emergency units always
use maps to find the accidents location and it base on if someone give the information about the case. So, if some drive
are accidents in isolate area and no one is passing the road when the accidents is valid and add the driver are in a state
of faintness so the information is not send to the emergency unit. Also the driver and passenger will die. So, from that
we want to create a device that can detect the accident and send the location to emergency unit. For the improvement of
information car accidents, we decided to create “Car Accident Detection’’ for our final project. In a nutshell, the detector
function automatically that control by SWITCH. This project also consist of three main component that are SWITCH ,
GPS module and GSM

Previous Work
Many researchers carried out their studies on accident detection system. Traditional traffic accident prediction uses
long-term traffic data such as annual average daily traffic and hourly volume. In contrast to traditional traffic accident
prediction, real-time traffic accident prediction relates accident occurrences to real-time traffic data obtained from various
detectors such as induction loops, infrared detector, camera etc. Real-time traffic accident prediction focuses on the
change of traffic conditions before an accident occurrence, while traffic incident detection studies are concerned with the
change of traffic conditions after an incident occurrence
Besides the automatic detection system, manual incident detection[1] methods detects the accident from the motorist
report, transportation department or public crews report, aerial surveillance or close circuit camera surveillance. The
drawback of this type of detection system is that someone has to witness the incident. Moreover, there are delays and
inaccuracies due to the expression problem of the witness. Compared to these detection method, driver initiated incident
detection system has more advantages which includes the quick reaction, more incident information etc.
L.Chuan-zhi et al [2] proposed a freeway incident detection system by utilizing the car air bag sensor and accelerometer,
GPS to locate the accident place and GSM to send the accident location. However, the system did not utilize the GPS to
detect the accident. A smart phone based accident detection system is proposed by C. Thompson et al [3]. However, smart
phones are very expensive and due to false alarm filter, it may not detect all accidents. An acoustic accident detection
method is proposed by D. A. Whitney and J. J. Pisano [4]. There are possibilities of false alarm in the system and also
does not guarantee the occurrence of an accident. An accident detection by utilizing an impact sensor and reporting
system by wireless module is proposed by R.K. Megalingam et al [5]. However, a wireless reporting infrastructure is
very expensive and difficult to implement as installation of repeated receivers on the road at a very short interval are
required.

Methodology

Fig. 1. Flow of methodology

Steps or methods of operation which must be planned in advance of the installation or operation work. The purpose of
this step is to facilitate the students to follow the provisions of the directive that it does not contradict or are not included
in the project objectives. In other words, so that the work we do not have any problems.
Before carrying out this project, we must find expression problems faced in advance. After identifying some of the
problems encountered, the appropriate number of tittles has been selected as the project tittle. Figure 1 shows the flow of
methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main focus areas of literature review
are literature related to successful applications of TAD. Based on the literature review, we must built some algorithm
before a model of TAD is developed.

Product Design
There are a few type of component that will be combined and included together to create this project. The component
are Arduino Mega, GPS module, GSM, Limit switch and adapter 12v sub as car battery. The Complete flow of accident
detector as follows; first, whenever accident of the vehicle occurs, then the device sends a message with the information
of accident location and the time to the predefined numbers so that help can be made available. The message sent with
the help of the GSM module will appear like this - Message for accident: longitude and latitude of an accident. Please
send help.”This system shows the location of vehicle where the accident has occurred with the help of the GPS module
connected to it and hence that information is added in the accident alerting message.

We propose this system can be developed by interconnecting a camera to the controller module that takes the photograph
of the accident spot that makes the tracking easier. .Indirectly, it will be help middle class people to save energy and time.
Moreover, it can minimize the death and the severe condition due to accidents the GPS and GSM technologies are used
where immediate action would be take place by the ambulance/police service which might reduce the severity

Abstract. The “Parking System with SMS Alert” project is a project designed specifically for parking areas. This project
uses the “Arduino” component which is an open source computer hardware and software company, project, and user
community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital
devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. In addition, the “Global System
for Mobile (GSM)” component is also an important component of this project. This component works like a phone but
works in 2G only to send SMS and Call.

Introduction
Most of the existing parking system are manually managed and a little inefficient. In certain are, where number of
vehicles is higher as compared to the availability of parking space and lot of time being wasted in searching for parking
location. Parking system with SMS alert is a proposed the drivers to alert if the parking lot is full or not by giving amount
of parking lot left on the LCD at the gate or sending a SMS through the GSM modem before entering the parking.
Parking is the safest places to park a vehicle. Everyone wants their vehicle to safe even when they leave it. This parking
system will make people interest with the way it work. For this reason it is usual to see some of the parking maybe not
safe to be park. Parking place is also highly required in areas and buildings which may be easy for theft to steal the
vehicle, such as motorcycle, car and others vehicle. However, there are many problem related to the parking place , for
example users will complain with parking and congestion at existing users who always make their case or selfish without
thinking about other users and some user angered other users as their behaviour in this way and can be tendentious and
fights in the parking lot. Parking system with SMS alert aims to facilitate users to find parking in the supermarket and
paid parking place. Typically. This problem can be solved by using this parking system.
The objectives of this project study will be makes it easy to find parking , to tell the user if the parking area is full , to
reduce congestion in the parking lot where the parking area is full and facilitates the driver to reverse parking in the
parking area. In general, parking system is use to park the vehicle in the great way. The main aim of the project is to
allows users to put their vehicles without having to scramble and will not worry about safety in public parking.

Previous Work
There are two types of cars parking system: traditional and automated. In the long term, automated car parking systems
are likely to be more cost effective when compared to traditional parking garages. Automatic multi-storey automated car
park systems are less expensive per parking slot, since they tend to require less building volume and less ground area
than a conventional facility with the same capacity. Both automated car parking systems and automated parking garage
systems reduce pollution.
Automated car parking systems use a similar type of technology to that used for mechanical parcel handling and
document retrieval. The driver leaves the car inside an entrance area and technology parks the vehicle at a designated
area. Hydraulic or mechanical car lifters raise the vehicle to another level for proper storing. The vehicle can be
transported vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left or right) to a vacant parking space until the car is needed again.
When the vehicle needed, the process is reversed and the car lifts transport the vehicle back to the same area where the
driver left it. In some case, a turntable may be used to position the car so that the driver can conveniently drive away
without the need to back up.

Methodology
Methodology is the methods or procedures used to implement the project in detail. These measures are very important
in this project to ensure the project is successfully completed within a predetermined time. In this chapter will also
explain the connection of all procedures performed during running processes for this project in accordance with the rules
properly. In this way the project can proceed smoothly and achieve the objectives of this project. Generating projects,
a number of steps that need to be experienced before the project is completed. Measures that need to be done with
precaution.

Conclusion
Based on our project, this project can enhance the knowledge and experience of the PCB manufacturing process. This
project also makes it easier for users to find parking space and can tell the user if the parking area is full. Therefore, good
projects should have high capability and easy to use and affordable project costs to be acceptable to consumers. This
project has achieved the aspects that have been put forward and it is potentially used by the community today.

Abstract. People who have limited or no finger, hand, or arm dexterity often find it difficult to turn pages and interact
with the world of knowledge contained in printed materials. Many of these people, however, can activate machines
using an electric switch, which allows for more independence in their daily lives. Assistive page turners are available
commercially, but for many school systems and private families the cost of these systems is prohibitive. A low-cost page
turning device has been designed, allowing a user to turn a page of printed matter by simply touching a switch with their
head, hand, or other body part. This device expands the horizon of independence for people with disabilities who enjoy
interacting with books and other printed media.

Introduction
This project details to design and build process of an turning pages machine, the primary goal of this project is to design
and manufacture a project that not only has an efficient operation, but this is easy to use for people with disabilities and
minimal assistance. The device will consist of a mechanical structure to support book, and electrical system to facilitate
the turning of pages in both direction and additional features to support comfort and readability. Our product consist of
the several scope (i) Turn one single page (one complete cycle), (ii) It takes approximately 8 seconds, (iii) The response
of the system can be improved by using faster processor and lastly (iv) Only function for people with disability can sit.

Methodology
The Automatic page turner has two main features:
i. A Mechanical Structure for holding the book
ii. An Electronic Design which turns the pages based on the input from switches Totally, it is an electronic device
which facilitates the user to turn the pages of a book
and holds it for him to read. It will be simple to use, low-cost device which requires the pressing of two buttons to flip a
page forward and backward. These buttons can be customized to embed in shoe, based on the patient’s requirements and
physical condition. Once a book is loaded into the page turner then it shall be easily operated by the patient with the press
of a button. Pressing the button will initiate the page to flip forward or backward depending on selection.

The page-turner is normally operated from a Proximity switch. It is a battery operated machine which operates by the use
of 2 switches. One drives the motor forward and the other backward.
Pages can therefore be turned forwards and backwards and also a page retainer operates automatically. The clampers
detect the input given and accordingly hold or get opened up while the pages are being turned. When the motor is
running, a roller moves across the page and hits a stop when it means the end of the page. The roller continues to rotate
and this lifts the page. When the page is released, the reverse switch is operated and the roller pushes the released page to
the other side.

Abstract. Research and development efforts have been focused on providing comfort to the users while sleeping or stay
awake while massage and entertaining music from the device that has been Bluetooth-matched with this Pillow Friend.
Provide a pillow that has a massage function and special features because the existing pillow has no function like this.
This function provides convenience to the user due to its massage functions while entertaining music with Bluetooth
functionality. So with this design, it is hoped that it will be able to provide convenience to users and also become more
user-friendly of Bluetooth and massaging process.

Introduction
Pillows are intended to support the head and neck in a neutral position to minimize biomechanical stresses on cervical
structures whilst sleeping. Biomechanical stresses are associated with waking cervical symptoms. This paper adds to the
scant body of research investigating whether different pillow types produce different types and frequencies of waking
symptoms in asymptomatic subjects. Next, the project could also be a platform for us to apply the method of attaching
the circuit because we use the connection Bluetooth. Selection idea of this project is also related to our cost that the
Electronic Communications circuits where we use Bluetooth because it’s part of the way of a communication device.
The main role of a pillow during sleep is to support the cervical spine in a neutral position. This prevents adoption of
more ‘end-range’ cervical spine postures during sleep, which are believed to increase biomechanical stresses on cervical
spine structures. This can compromise pain-sensitive structures and produce waking symptoms, such as cervical pain and
stiffness, headache, scapular or arm pain. Recent research on the effect of different pillow types for subjects with chronic
neck pain found that soft pillows which supported the pillows with a sleeping neck support, provided effective relief
for waking pain. However, there is scant research on the effect of different pillow types on the production of waking
symptoms in healthy subjects. Consequently different pillow types have proliferated in the market place over recent
years, with accompanying but variably-evidenced claims that they produce symptom-free sleep, no waking symptoms,
and/or high quality sleep experiences.
Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has more than 30,000 member companies
in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking and consumer electronics. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth
as IEEE 802.15.1, but no longer maintains the standard. The Bluetooth SIG oversees development of the specification,
manages the qualification program and protects the trademarks. A manufacturer must meet Bluetooth SIG standards to
market it as Bluetooth device. A network of patents apply to the technology, which are licensed to individual qualifying
devices. Bluetooth facility is able to provide voice and data communications services in real-time. Bluetooth also like as
well as Wi-Fi but with a smaller coverage. It has 4 Class in Bluetooth. Officially Class 4 have a range of up 0.5 metre,
Class 3 have a range of up to1 metre Class 2, the most commonly found in mobile device, 10 metres, and Class 1,
primarily for industrial use cases, 100 metres.

Methodology
As we know the use of pillows is indispensable to the daily life to relax the body from exhaustion. Therefore, we have
innovated the existing pillow in the market by modifying its main function by making it as a massage cushion which is
equipped with mp3 which can play various songs via Bluetooth only.
This paper presents a new approach of pillow massage that comes with wireless audio connection. Developing a
Bluetooth to audio amplifier to make it wireless. Whereas the electronic circuits will use existing components on the
market.
Figure 1 shows the flow of methodology. The project starts by performing comprehensive literature review. The main
focus areas of literature review are literatures related to successful applications of Bluetooth. Based on the literature
review, a model of pillow massage with wireless audio amplifier is developed. Next stage, the circuit of electronic is
developed. Repairing on the model will be made to further improve the result. The result obtained also can be a case
study to study the feasibility of producing commercialize the product.
