Title: Enhanced Security System with Human, Vehicle Detection, and Keypad Access Control
1. Project Background
2. Introduction
Our project aims to design and implement a security system for residential or commercial
premises by integrating human and vehicle detection sensors, as well as keypad access
control. This multi-layered approach will enhance security measures by providing robust
intrusion detection and access control mechanisms.
3. Problem Statement
Existing security systems may lack the capability to provide multi-layered protection,
including human and vehicle detection, as well as keypad access control, leading to
vulnerabilities and security lapses.
Implementing a security system with that significantly enhance perimeter security, reduce
false alarms, and improve overall situational awareness. By incorporating keypad access
control, the system can further restrict unauthorized access to secured areas.
5. Objectives
Develop a comprehensive security system integrating sensors for human and vehicle
detection, Implement keypad access control mechanism with password authentication.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the system in detecting intrusions and controlling access to
secured areas. Assess the impact of the system on overall security posture and response
times.
Chapter 2: Implementation
1 Components Used in the Project:
a. Digital inputs – Human Body Detection Sensors: Passive infrared sensors (PIR) will be
strategically place on the breadboard
b. Digital inputs: Vehicle Detection Sensors: Ultrasonic sensors will be will be strategically
place on the breadboard
c. Digital inputs: Key pad to create password for access control
d. Digital output: LCD module – The LCD must be used to indicate what alarm condition
has been detected. It is highly likely alarms will be activated at the same time, but there
is a good possibility that two different types of alarms may be activated.
a) Chapter 1: Project Proposal (Introduction and purpose of the study): Discussion of the
project proposal. This includes the following aspects that need to be covered in the
chapter. Definition of terms, list of tables, list of figures, acronyms and abbreviations, the
introduction, background of the topic, Problem statement, significance of the study,
objectives, project plan, proposed budget for the project, time schedule how the project
will be conducted, limitations and the chapter conclusion.
g) Design of the proposed solution: In parallel to the research and documentation being
done, the student needs to do the hardware and software designs, develop a bread board
to build the hardware, write the relevant software for the final project solution. This is
required to indicate the competency of the student to produce a final solution for the
identified industry related problem.
h) Final project demonstration: The final presentation for the project will consist out of two
parts namely:
Group Assignment
A group task will be required whereby students will be divided into groups 4 per group. Tasks
within the groups must be decided between students and each student will be responsible
for a certain task.
The compiled document should not be more than four pages, consisting of a cover page with
title and the names and student numbers of each participating group member. The task or
combined tasks of each group member must be highlighted in writing and the group leader
will be responsible for submission of the document. However each student will be responsible
for their specific task and must compile their task on the document. It is not the group leader’s
task to compile the whole document, he/she only ensures that all work is done before
submitting the document and work is done equally. Group leaders must be selected by team
members and communicated with the lecturer
