Autonomous Suitcase with Smart IoT solution
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryThe luggage handling and carrying is always a challenge for passengers and hence providing ease with the emerging technology in this area is important. The luggage bags and suitcase can be lost or very difficult to carry for a specific range and kind of passengers.
The Autonomous Suitcase is the primary solution for this type of problems and these problems can be eradicated by providing a smart solution to the mankind for their benefits. Implementing Smart IoT solutions on a suitcase to make it Autonomous so that bag can run on wheels avoiding the obstacles and follow the passenger maintaining a constant distance with an adequate speed and GPS location of the suitcase on the map to identify the current location are the main constituents of this project.
Following are the objectives of our project:
1. Passenger ease in moving luggage from one place to another.
2. Locating the lost / stolen luggage.
3. Self-following Suitcase.
4. Facilitating the disabled passengers and the mothers with an infant baby.
The software model which we will follow in this project is the “Waterfall” model. This model is flexible in hardware related projects. The Waterfall Model was the first principal Process Model to be implemented. It is easy to comprehend and utilize. In a Waterfall model, each stage must be finished before the following stage can start and there is no covering in the stages.
In the Waterfall approach, the entire procedure of programming advancement is isolated into independent stages. The result of one stage goes about as a contribution to the following stage successively. This implies any stage in the advancement procedure starts just if the last stage is finished.
AUTONOMOUS SUITCASE will be made by following Waterfall approach and by following the IoT principles using Arduino UNO. The sole working will be implemented by variety of sensors which will be attached and linked by various means with Arduino. The SUITCASE motion will be directed by the sensors as per Arduino Programming. The app which will be made on Blynk will be integrated with hardware and its functionality will be operated and monitored by the application made on Blynk platform.
AUTONOMOUS SUITCASE will be the final deliverable of our project and all classes of passengers will be the beneficiaries.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableWe will be using App Builder Interactive tools for Software Development and Arduino UNO as a main Circuit Hardware and variety of sensors for project operation e.g. Ultrasonic Sensors, Infrared Sensors, GPS Sensor. Some driver tools are also required like: Jumper Wires, Motors and Motor Drivers etc., some integration Tools like: Scolding Gun and wire, glue, Cardboard and Bread boards etc. moreover we would require rechargeable Power Source, Motors and Step Motors etc. A hard case SUITCASE will be used in which all the hardware will be placed.
The hardware and software requirements could be flexible according to their availability but mostly they are available in market.
