people counter
Introduction
‘Automatic light switching with real time people counter’ is a combination of
different devices like sensors, LCD etc. with Arduino microcontroller which
held together to perform the task of counting the number or members in
that particular area.
Basically we use it in places having one way entry and exit like hall, mall,
rooms etc. We can also use it in places like parking areas where instead of
counting people it will count how many vehicles are entered and exit.

Visitor counter circuit diagram
Circuit Exaplaination
There are some sections of whole visitor counter circuit that are
sensor section, control section, display section and driver section.
•
In this section we have used two IR sensor modules which contain
IR diodes, potentiometer, Comparator (Op-Amp) and LED's.
Potentiometer is used for setting reference voltage at comparator's
one terminal and IR sensors sense the object or person and
provide a change in voltage at comparator's second terminal. Then
comparator compares both voltages and generates a digital signal
at output. Here in this circuit we have used two comparators for two
sensors.
When any one enters in the room, IR sensor will get interrupted by the
object then other sensor will not work because we have added a delay
for a while.
•
Arduino UNO is used for controlling whole the process of this visitor
counter project. The outputs of comparators are connected to digital
pin number 14 and 19 of arduino. Arduino read these signals and
send commands to output pin for LED controlling. The LED will turn
on if there is anyone inside the room and will switch off if no one is
inside the room.
•
Display section contains a 16x2 LCD. This section will display the
counted number of people and light status when no one will in the
room.
Project Demonstration
Advantages
• For security purposes.
• Saving energy
Conclusion
• This project is effective in this world where we are fastly moving
towards the smart device, as it provides home automation facilities.
• In this way this project come up with the newness and flexibility.
Future Scope
• Voice alarm system can be added to indicate that room is full & persons can’t
enter inside.
