Project Summary

The RFID Door Lock is a lock that is simple to install and allows the user to easily lock and unlock doors. The motivation behind is to ensure the security of passage and rooms at Amin Campus, The University of Faisalabad. We here at the campus, face a lot of problems in different passages. There are some parts of campus where students should not be allowed to go. With this RFID based interlocking system, we'll be ensuring the privacy of administration and faculty members. It will contain RFID reader/writer and a magnetic door lock. All the user will need, is a RFID tag to unlock the door. LED will be used to let the user know when the door is locked. The components included in the module are small and compact. Additionally, the door lock is simple and easy to install anywhere. It does not require the consumer to disassemble the door or doorframe as the door locks are merely attachments. It also leaves the consumer with the option of using their original lock and key if they choose to use so. All in all, this RFID door lock is expected to be a simple and cost effective upgrade to the average security and convenience available on campus.

Project Objectives

The aim of the project is to make effective security system using modern techniques and technologies. The system will be able to access the authorize person and denied the unauthorized person.

• Designing of security system hardware for Amin Campus, TUF.
• Development of database
• Collection and entering data into database

Project Implementation Method

An RFID system consists of two main components, a transponder or a tag which is located on the object that we want to be identified, and a transceiver or a reader.The RFID reader consist of a radio frequency module, a control unit and an antenna coil which generates high frequency electromagnetic field. On the other hand, the tag is usually a passive component, which consist of just an antenna and an electronic microchip, so when it gets near the electromagnetic field of the transceiver, due to induction, a voltage is generated in its antenna coil and this voltage serves as power for the microchip.

Now as the tag is powered it can extract the transmitted message from the reader, and for sending message back to the reader, it uses a technique called load manipulation. Switching on and off a load at the antenna of the tag will affect the power consumption of the reader’s antenna which can be measured as voltage drop. This changes in the voltage will be captured as ones and zeros and that’s the way the data is transferred from the tag to the reader.

There’s also another way of data transfer between the reader and the tag, called backscattered coupling. In this case, the tag uses part of the received power for generating another electromagnetic field which will be picked up by the reader’s antenna.

Benefits of the Project

By initiating the implementation of RFID over door locks, we are targeting to expand this concept and implement it at payment in cafeteria, place issuance in parking, student attendance in class and book issuing in library. We are targeting this campus to transfer from paper money to card money and even card less in future using some other sensors as well. 

After successful implementation of all these things mentioned above we are targeting to launch a company to provide other institutions, companies and hospitals with our products and services. It will allow them to operate in less time respectively. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We are using the concept of IOT. The internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. We use internet of things in our project to insure about the user authorization. The real time data of the user will be sent to the database.

RFID uses electromegnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically-stored information. Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves. Active tags have a local power source (such as a battery) and may operate hundreds of meters from the RFID reader.
