 ABSTRACT

Transmission Mode of COVID -19 has caused it to spread more and more creating a global health
crisis. WHO claims social distancing can be a solution for minimal transmission. But practically it
is difficult to stay this much alert in public places in rush. Social distancing is a non-drug
contraction and control executed to stay away from/decline contact between the individuals who
are supposedly infected causing infection and the individuals who are not, in order to stop or
hinder the rate of disease locally. The infection spread from person to person, for instance:
between individuals who are inside around 6 feet of one another. Through respiratory drops
delivered when a contaminated individuals sneezes or talks. Virus enter the body through this
mode.

How government guaranteeing social separating: Closure of every single instructive foundation
(schools, colleges and so forth), rec centres, exhibition halls, social and social focuses, pools and
theatres. Officials ought to be encouraged to remain at home. Online training to be advanced.
Encourage private area associations/bosses to permit representatives to work from home. Above
steps are required and guided by government though we see closing and quarantine is not
permanent solution as it hurts their respective sectors for this is a project plan is plotted consisting
of various components like ultrasonic(US) signals, PIR(IR), NFC commuincators and radio
frequency (RF) signals. The device is programmed on microcontrollers such that way when any
patch or two persons come within six feet of each other, both units being beeping or single unit
beeps with RGB alert and vibration, hence notifying users with these devices to step away from
each other. Also added features with interaction to Arogya Setu database so that the person can be
alerted if contacted any infected person using different alert mode and break further transmission.
 INTRODUCTION

Our PM Narendra Modi has spoken about keeping social distance to fight against COVID
19. So we thought why not make such a gadget to track social distancing even more. So we
decided to make a social distancing patch using Arduino. Social Distancing Patches to
alert users when they are within 6 feet of someone else. The device will use ultrasonic
(US) signals, PIR sensors, NFC Bluetooth plugs, and radio frequency (RF) signals. The
devices are programmed with the use of microcontrollers so that when anyone comes
within 6 feet of each other, units begin beeping, hence notifying users wearing these
devices to step away from each other. While the device will be connected to data servers of
the Arogya Setu app so to keep a check on infected persons their details and alert user if
contacted or within a 1-mile range of that person. Here is an Arduino based social
distancing alarm meant for Covid-19 pandemic or similar disease outbreak. Maintaining
the right gap for social or physical distancing is not always feasible. When we are outside,
we forget to maintain the distance as soon as we get involved in our daily work. This novel
circuit alerts you if you come too close to someone either from the front, back, right, or left
direction. A Patch fitted with ultrasonic distance sensors connected to Arduino Uno senses
the minimum safe distance and alerts you through a buzzer.

FEATURES :

1). It can detect if anyone come closer to decided distance.

2). The cost for this project or system is approx 1500-2000 in rupees.

3). It is very fast as anyone come closer then it will notify ASAP.

MERITS :

1). It can provide security to humans.

2). It can provide security to animals.

3). This is beneficial in marketing system.

DEMERITS :

1). If any non living thing like wall, or any other substance came near to
this patch then it will also rang up and notify to admin.

2). It is very costly so everyone are not able to buy it .

MOTIVATION :
How we got this idea!

A Task was given for choosing problem statement we want to work on. So we
thought about the main things which had a great impact on peoples..and that was
COVID-19, Now the Situation is under control but since Covid persists we wanted
to work on that, the research on how social distancing can be maintained, we came
up with a camera module that can be added to CCTV to check if workers maintain
social distances or not. More on way ultrasonic transmitter gave an idea which used
ultrasound to check distances between objects gave better view to make a project
for people so they can know and be alerted about social distances on 6 feet. Above
mentioned projects were helpful for creating this model.

Additional comments

There are various scopes of using this device it motives can be customized according
to user requirements which may involve patient monitoring to data and activity
collection. Device is memory old-cloud i.e don’t require any network or internet
service just radio waves available in environment. No hazards are caused in IR
utilization because we it’s release IR radiation in form of heat.

Approach

Problem the invention is solving

Coronavirus pandemic is a great threat to the world from the health of one to the economy.
The government is forcing quarantine for minimal face-to-face contact while it damages
the economy at a higher rate. One of the primary ways to reduce the spread of the virus is
to practice social distancing. Social distancing is keeping distance between yourself and
others. Specifically, it is important to stay at least 6 feet away from other people However,
it can be di cult to remember to maintain this distance in a public place and people often
violate this distance threshold. The invention will facilitate this social distancing by
alarming you if 6 feet circle is invaded.
 Technical features of the invention

Invention is Arduino based model that utilizes Ultrasonic sensors, PIR sensor, NFC for
sensing and buzzer, RGB for alarming user.

General Utility/application of the invention

Invention facilitates social distancing by alarming user if 6ft circle invaded while it keeps
on check for infected person in surrounding using Arogya Setu database.

Advantages of the invention

Easy to handle this is minimalistic device for ensuring social distancing.

Different alarm mode available for low disturbance. One can disable buzzer using simple
toggle for office environment.

Best way of using the invention as well as possible variants

Device will be available in 3 forms button magnetic tag, wrist bands, ID card attachment.
To be worn by user accordingly.

Proposed Model

My model to solve this issue is a Social Distancing Sensor, a system that alerts users when they
are within 6 feet of someone else.

This system consists of multiple devices that communicate with each other through ultrasonic
(US) signals and radio frequency (RF) signals.
The devices are programmed with the use of microcontrollers so that when any two units come
within 6 feet of each other, both units begin beeping, hence notifying both users wearing these
devices to step away from each other.

Although this system could be used on a personal or individual level, it best caters to businesses or
groups that are trying to stay open during this health crisis or are trying to reopen after a period of
inactivity.

For example, one application of such a system could be for construction workers or factory
workers who usually work in a large space but may forget to maintain six feet distance when
interacting with others.

Another application could be for a golf course that wants to stay open, so it requires everyone to
wear a device. Such businesses could adopt and implement this Social Distancing Sensor for
liability risk management and for the personal safety of their employees and customers.

THE MAIN COMPONENTS ARE – IR SENSOR, LED, PIR SENSOR, BUZZURE,

ARDUINO UNO, and WIRES

IR SENSOR: An infrared sensor (IR sensor) is a radiation-sensitive optoelectronic component

with a spectral sensitivity in the infrared wavelength range 780 nm … 50 µm. IR sensors are now
widely used in motion detectors, which are used in building services to switch on lamps or in
alarm systems to detect unwelcome guests

LED : LED stands for light emitting diode. LED lighting products produce light up to 90% more
efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. How do they work? An electrical current passes through
a microchip, which illuminates the tiny light sources we call LEDs and the result is visible light.

PIR SENSOR : PIR sensors are used in thermal sensing applications, such as security and motion
detection. They are commonly used in security alarms, motion detection alarms, and automatic
lighting applications.

BUZZURE : A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical,

electromechanical, or piezoelectric . Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices,
timers, train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
ARDUINO UNO : Arduino UNO is a low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-use programmable
opensource microcontroller board that can be integrated into a variety of electronic projects. This
board can be interfaced with other Arduino boards, Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi boards and can
control relays, LEDs, servos, and motors as an output.

WIRES : Set of wires which will use in making social distancing badge by connecting different
sensors and led to Arduino uno.
