Overview: The project aims to develop a crowd management system that can detect the presence of people and control the movement of the crowd using a conveyor belt. The system uses IR sensors to detect the presence of people and Arduino to control the conveyor belt's movement.
Materials:
Arduino Uno board
IR sensors (at least 2)
Conveyor belt
Motor driver
Power supply
Breadboard
Jumper wires
Steps:
Connect the Arduino board to the computer and open the Arduino IDE.
Connect the IR sensors to the Arduino board using jumper wires. One sensor should be placed at the entrance, and the other should be placed at the exit of the area you want to control the crowd flow.
Connect the conveyor belt to the motor driver, and connect the motor driver to the Arduino board using jumper wires.
Write the code to control the system. The code should include the following: a. The code should define the input/output pins for the sensors and motor driver. b. The code should read the sensor inputs to detect the presence of people. c. If a person is detected at the entrance, the code should start the conveyor belt and move it in the desired direction. If a person is detected at the exit, the code should stop the conveyor belt.
Upload the code to the Arduino board and test the system.
Once the system is working correctly, install it at the desired location, making sure the sensors are positioned correctly
