Abstract
In today’s world there is a continuous need for automated appliances, with the increase in the living standards, there is an
immediate need for developing circuit that would change the complexity of life to simplicity. This Project title
“Bidirectional Visitor Counter with Home Automation” is designed in order to count the visitor of an offices, auditorium,
hall, sport venue. When a person enter the room, count would be increased, whereas on leaving, the count would be
decrease.IR Sensors is used to accurately. An IR sensor is used to monitor the person entering and leaving the room. The
microcontroller does the above job. It receive the signals from the sensors and this signal is operated under the control of
software which is stored in ROM. Microcontroller continuously monitor the infrared receiver. When any object pass
through the IR receiver’s then the IR rays falling on the receiver are obstructed, this obstruction is sense bye the
microcontroller.
Keywords: ARM7, LPC2148, Microcontroller, Seven Segment Display, IR SENSOR
Introduction
Many times we need to monitor the person/people visiting some places like seminar hall, offices and shopping mall .this
project can be used to count and display the number of visitor entering inside the room or hall .this is a bidirectional
counter which means it work in two way. That means counter will be incremented if person enter the room and will be
decremented if the person leave the room. Seven segment displays the values which placed outside the room. This system
is helpful for counting the number of person in a room, auditorium and seminar hall to avoid congestion. Moreover it can
also be used to check the number of people who have come to the event or museum to watch a certain exhibit.
Microcontroller is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of counting the number of person/visitor in the room very
sense the entry and exit of visitors and the whole counting operation is done by a microcontroller. So its convent and
useful in many places for security.
Literature Survey
In this, includes all the discussions on research done prior to take up the project and understand the various methods that
were used previously. A detailed analysis of the existing systems was performed. This study helped in identifying the
benefits and also the drawbacks of existing systems.1) bidirectional visitor counter with home automation In this paper
, The aim of our project is to make a controller based model to count the number of person entering into the room and
it lights up the room based on the light intensity of the room and turn on fan automatically where the persons are
sitting inside the room. It is made to prevent unwanted electric power waste in schools, colleges, houses and other
1

working places. This whole process is operated totally automatically by using its sensors.

Automated Room Light Controller with Visitor Counter In this paper, This Project “Automated Room Light Controller
with Visitor Counter” is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of controlling the room lights as well us counting
number of persons / visitors in the room very accurately. When somebody enters into the room then the counter is
incremented by one and the LED light in the room will be switched ON and when any one leaves the room then the
counter is decremented by one. The light will be only switched OFF until all the persons in the room go out. The total
number of persons inside the room is also displayed on the display monitor.
Device and Implementation
The block diagram for the proposed system is shown which consists of arm microcontroller, LED lighting system,
alphanumeric Seven Segment display, IR Sensor (transmitter and receiver).

Fig.1: Block Diagram Microcontroller

Transmitter: We are going to implement the Person counter module using two i transmitters and two receivers. To
use Infra-Red transmitter because infrared beams are not visible to human eyes. Transmitters used are IR LEDs.

Fig.2: Block Diagram

Receiver: We are going to use an Infrared receiver. It is an active low device which means it gives low output when it
receives the Infrared rays. So when the IR rays are interrupted by any person then microcontroller will receive a high
pulse from the IR receiver.

ARM7TDMIS: This is the CPU (central processing unit) of our project. Microcontroller is the heart of this system. Some
points of this microcontroller is used for the programming purpose. We are going to use a microcontroller named
LPC2148. The LPC2148 are based on a 16/32 bit ARM7TDMI-S™ CPU with real-time.
Segment Display: A seven segment display is one of the best component to display the numbers. It can simply be done
by this circuit, a light reference and a light sensor are used to detect the person and display the count using 7-segment
display.

Fig.3: Seven Segment Display

IR Sensor: IR sensor is used to produce IR wave. In this project there are two IR sensors. IR sensor
consists of IR transmitter and receiver. IR1 detect the number of individuals entering the room. IR2 detect the number of
individuals leaving the room. The frequency range of IR sensors varies depending upon its cost. When any object cuts
the light emitted by the LED, the light bounces back from the object to the light sensor.

Fig.4: IR Sensor
Relay: We have used 12v relay. Since microcontroller cannot turn-On relay directly. In this circuit we used single pole
double throw (SPDT) relay. In this project we used two pin connector as an output of relay.
Batteries and connectors: In this project we use 9v battery. the battery has both the positive and negative terminals on
one end. The negative terminal is fashioned into a snap fitting which mechanically and electrically connects to a mating
terminal on the power connector. The power connector has a similar snap fitting on its positive terminal which mates to
the battery.

Working

Fig.6: Circuit Diagram

So, in this circuit, if the sensor 1 is interrupted First then the microcontroller will look for the sensor 2, and if it is
interrupted then the microcontroller will increment the count and switch ON the relay, if it is first time interrupted. If the
sensor 2 is interrupted First then the microcontroller will look for the sensor 1, and if it is interrupted then the
microcontroller will decrement the count. When the last person leaves the room then counters goes to 0 and that time the
relay will turn-off, and light will be turned-Off.
Future Expansion: By using this circuit and proper power supply we can implement various applications Such as fans,
tube lights, etc. By modifying this circuit and using two relays we can achieve a task of opening and closing the door.
Applications
This circuit can be used domestically to get an indication of number of persons entering a party.
It can be used at official meetings.
It can be used at homes and other places to keep a check on the number of persons entering a secured place.
It can also be used as home automation system to ensure energy saving by switching on the loads and fans only when in
needed.
Conclusion
In our project, we have designed and implemented a Bidirectional Counter & Home Automation using the concept of
Embedded System. The target users of the project can be any one right from a common man to any organization. Let say
if a one uses our project for Seminar Purpose then the track record of the persons attending the seminar will give the exact
idea about the no. of candidate attending and leaving the seminar and accordingly the Project Model will control the
Electronics Gadget of the Seminar Hall, In making this project. This project is useful in developing countries and this

project has a bright future. In this digital world Technology is very advanced and we prefer things to be done
automatically without any human efforts. This project also helps to reduce human efforts. Also it is very useful to
conserve resources. It is very useful in Schools, hospitals, malls, offices, auditoriums etc. This gives lots of knowledge of
software as hardware.
