Abstract

Public vehicles are predominantly the commonest and most widely used means of transport for humans in this current time. However, passengers who often commute with public vehicles mostly encounter the challenge of missing their destination primarily due to difficulties in communicating their destination to the driver, sleeping in the case of long-distance travel or the inability to recognize their destinations, and many more. In this paper, a fully functional and cost-effective passenger destination alert system for commercial vehicles (PDSCV) was developed. This designed passenger destination alert system provides solutions to the problems and as well meets the needs of some target groups such as the physically challenged. To solve these challenges, a GPS-based location module interfaced with a microcontroller unit was employed in the hardware prototype design. Destination stations were displayed and announced via an LCD and audio system respectively to generally alert all passengers on board the vehicle. The prototype also includes alert buttons beside every seat which were to be used by passengers in emergencies and to alert the driver to skip a particular terminal provided the bus is fully occupied and no passenger intends to alight. In addition to the hardware prototype, a software application was developed to provide further information to first-time travellers. The test and results from the entire system indicate a bridge in the communication gap between the driver and the passengers of commercial vehicles.

Abstract

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Library is one of the most important services on the school’s campus. It provides a serene atmosphere for studies as well as a multitude of resources for research and learning. Unfortunately, this opportunity is abused by some individuals who steal books, causing others who need them to be found wanting and incurs unnecessary costs on the school to replace those materials. In this project, we propose the use of an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system to identify and keep track of books in the library. The proposed system would use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to raise an alarm when a book is being taken out of the library without having gone through the required procedures put in place for the borrowing of books. An alarm serves to notify the security guards and library staff stationed for quick alert and response to the book theft as well as to deter individuals from attempting to do so. If implemented correctly, a very high accuracy of detection can be achieved. The proposed system is limited in that it cannot prevent a student from borrowing a book without return, and some individuals may find a way to tamper with the tags to avoid being detected by the EAS system.
