Internet of Things (IoT) has become more prevalent today and Smart Transportation System
is one of its many implementations. Over the years, car owners have spent a long time to find
available parking spaces and struggle with safety issues in public parking spaces. This
Capstone project intends to resolve this matter via the usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) by
creating a mobile application that will be able to provide real-time data of the availability of
car bays, a safety alarm system as well as the capability to call for security. The project
involves three main software; MIT App Inventor, Arduino and Firebase. MIT App Inventor
was used to create the mobile application basically acting as the front-end for the customer to
interact with. On the other hand, Arduino mainly functions to deal with the hardware
involving the IR sensors, Arduino UNO and NODEMCU in order to facilitate the parking
system and the safety alarm. Furthermore, the entire process of the data being sent from the
MIT App Inventor to the hardware and vice versa is facilitated by Firebase which acts as the
server providing a real-time database.

Driving with one hand does not give drivers full control over steering, thus increasing the risk
for an accident than driving with both hands. In addition, driving with one hand while eating or
using cell phones is even more of a hazard. This capstone project introduces a hands-off
detection system to give an audible alarm to the driver when either of the hands is released
from the steering wheel over a certain duration. The hands-off detection system integrates a
speedometer and a handgrip detector, in which the hands-off duration to trigger the alarm will
be varied according to the vehicle speed. A NEO-6M GPS module functions as the
speedometer to track the speed of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the handgrip detector is
implemented using a pair of Force Sensing Resistors (FSR), detecting the status (hold or
release) of the right and the left hand respectively. The alarm will be terminated once the driver
holds back the steering wheel with both hands. The working prototype was successfully
developed demonstrating the potential to be used in the real application.

Parking an automobiles in a shopping mall parking lot frequently results in extra time spent
driving in search of an available space, which causes traffic congestion and pollution. One
underlying reason of inefficient parking behaviour is a lack of guidance information to available
parking space. We overcome this problem by using smart parking devices and technologies
which is RFID and an application called Smart Parking App to assist drivers in locating available
parking spaces, thereby improve the parking efficiency.

Hospital management system (HMS) is a system that helps in managing the information related
to healthcare and aids in the job completion of healthcare providers effectively. It manages data
from all departments of healthcare such as clinical, outpatient, nursing, pharmacy, etc. HMS
came into the picture of hospital management in 1960 and has been evolving and
synchronizing with the technologies while modernizing healthcare facilities. Nowadays, there
has been a significant transformation in the healthcare industry from a service perspective.
Patient care and happiness are being prioritized more than ever before. The requirement to
keep the patients satisfied with the hospital’s services is rapidly growing. This project aims to
develop a cloud-based system for smart hospital management named Smart Hospital Manager.
The developed system includes features such as keeping track of appointment dates, storing
medicine prescriptions and medical records, maintaining patients’ personal information,
making the registration process easier and alerting patients to their queue number which are
beneficial to patients, doctors, nurses and pharmacists. This will help the healthcare industry in
achieving personalization, allowing them to better address the needs of their patients and
provide personalized solutions.

Public facilities are defined as services provided by the government to cater the basic needs of
the general public. The broken and dysfunctional public facilities can bring harm and
difficulties in the daily life. In such a situation, the community can lodge a report to the
responsible organization to fix the problems. This paper presents the development of a smart
road reporting app known as Report-OnDGo, by using Android Studio. The main aim of this
app is to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of the current reporting system. The unique
feature of this app is that it incorporates a collaboration with the neighborhood association
(NA) to help in accelerating the reporting process. This app includes two modes, i.e., regular
user and committee modes, where the users can select their role upon registering the user
account. In the regular user mode, the app consists of several smart features such as camera
and gallery for uploading the proofs, and location detection to ensure the accuracy of the
report. Besides, the report history and service rating are also included in the app to obtain
feedback from the users. For the committee mode, the app contains a new feature, which
allows the NA to check and confirm the report information before sending it to Majlis
Perbandaran. The proposed app has a potential to accelerate the overall process of the reporting
system as it can reduce the possibility of the report redundancy.

This project introduces a partial autonomous lecture time scheduling system to deliver
information to stakeholders effectively and efficiently by using Google Sheets. The
stakeholders are the faculty timetable department, course director, lecturers and students.
Since the existing manual timetable scheduling process is time-consuming and prone to error,
an alternative solution has been developed by utilizing the built-in functions of Google Sheet.
The proposed system is equipped with a redundancy checking capability that can detect
redundant lecturers and classrooms. Hence, the efficiency of the scheduling process can be
increased as users are not required to manually check the fitness of the timetable anymore.
Besides, the proposed system has the ability to generate the timetables automatically and
distribute them to the students and lecturers via email. Hence, it can save time as users are not
required to distribute the timetable manually. Furthermore, students and lecturers will be
notified immediately via their emails if their timetables are updated so it can overcome the
issue of delay in timetable distribution due to the last-minute finalization of the timetable. The
proposed system also provides a user-friendly Graphical User Interface and guidelines to
increase the user experience. The system developed is currently being tested by the timetable
scheduling department at the School of Electrical Engineering. For future improvement of the
system, there is a future extension to automate the timetable scheduling process based on the
genetic algorithm. This advanced feature can increase the efficiency of the timetable
scheduling process as it will automatically generate suitable timetables.

Due to the rise in health problems caused by air pollution, a proper solution to alert people
when the air is in a high-risk polluting level is crucial to ensure their safety, especially for
those who need to go outside often for work. Also, it is crucial to make sure that people are
protecting themselves properly form air pollution by wearing the face mask properly Air
Monitoring System with Face Mask Wearing Detection is a system which is able to detect the
quality of the air whether it is in a good condition or not. This will help users to keep alert and
beware of the quality of the air by having a notification on their phones. The system also has
come with face mask wearing detection to make sure that people are wearing face mask
properly to protect themselves from air pollution. This system uses IoT technology to allow
users to interact with the system wirelessly via a phone app.

Flood disasters are a common occurrence for Malaysians due to the country’s proximity to the
Equator. An inappropriate irrigation system in a residential neighbourhood or a rapid increase
in the volume of water in a river causes floods frequently. Flood disasters often result in
property loss, damages, and lives. The Flood Alert System is proposed in this case to aid in the
monitoring and management of this urgent situation by delivering essential information (such
as flood conditions, plan and preparation) to the public and local authorities in the affected
area. The system can measure the water level and notify the public and local authorities of
flood conditions by sending a message (i.e. SMS) and notification via an Android application
on a mobile phone.

Water quality is important to everyone, especially when it comes to drinking, cooking, or other
life-critical aspects. Therefore, monitoring water quality to ensure a healthy lifestyle is an
important task. The purpose of monitoring is to collect sufficient data of water quality in pH
and turbidity aspects at each houses and attempts to propose a solution in order to alert the
users from using contaminated water. In this system, measurement of turbidity is key test of
water quality and the unit of measurement is called Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU).
The model name of turbidity sensor used in this system is DfRobot Turbidity Sensor and it
operates on the principle that as the water sample gets cloudy, the amount of transmitted light
decreases, the voltage is low while the turbidity values is high. pH sensor is also used as a
measurement of water quality to ensure that the pH value of the water in houses is between 6.4
to 8.5. The water quality detection system is interfaced with a solenoid valve and interact with
MIT Apps inventor. A normally closed solenoid valve with 12V operating voltages is used to
implement auto blocking mechanism before the contaminated water source reaches to house
users.

Fire is one of the problems that can be happened at anytime and anywhere. Delay in coping
with fires can induce in loss of human life or material. Thus, a Smart Fire Detection System is
proposed to be implemented by integrating the fire alarm devices, microcontroler and other
complementary devices. Basically, it helps to detect fire at early stage, provides the audible and
visual alarm signals and notify the remote user. An alarm is raised if the sensors detects heat,
smoke, or flame, warns people that there may be a fire and evacuate the premises immediately.
The fire emergency notification is sent to the remote user through the mobile application in
order to notify them. Furthermore, it also helps to reduce false alarms caused by the false-
positive readings of the installed fire alarm systems because it may cause mass panic and
consume firefighters' valuable time and resources. As a result, the smart fire detection system
is proposed to be implemented.

Water is the essential medium for fish biological functions to take place. As fish depends
completely on the water for breathing, feeding, development, wastes excretion and
reproduction, understanding water’s physical and chemical qualities is considered critical.
This project presents the development of a portable floating monitoring device based on
ESP32 that works with Arduino IDE to monitor water quality in real-time. The system
provides an automatic feeding mechanism depending on the pH level of the water at a user-
specified time. The system provides an economic monitoring system for small-scale farmers
and the installation is also simple. Contributing to SDG 13, the floating system is constructed
entirely from recycled plastic. Solar cells and lithium batteries are employed to power the
device, resulting in a wireless system. pH sensor ESP32 and temperature sensor DS18B20
monitor the aquaculture water quality parameters. The system is linked to a servo motor and
DS3231 real-time clock module, which are utilised to automate the feeding system at a
predetermined time. The data processing module is ESP32, and a Wi-Fi module is attached to
it to enable communication between the system and the Blynk application. Blynk platform
allows real-time monitoring and is accessible through the user's smartphone. When one of the
parameters is out of range, the system illuminates a red LED. This change may be tracked
through the user's phone. Thus, this system will be beneficial in the small-scale aquaculture
business, assisting in reducing labour intensity and increasing the quality of aquaculture
products via improved water quality.

Theme: Agriculture
Plat Fertigation and Monitoring System (PFMS) was designed due to the plants being
frequently neglected by the old farmers who are unable to take care and monitor their crops
properly due to increasing age factors. This watering and feeding system was designed and
built to ensure that the plants were irrigated at all times. The control valve is used to fill the
mixing tank with water. The mixer pump is shut off when the peristaltic pumps have dosed
the tank with the needed fertilisers. Under gravity, the mixture drains into the growth media.
This project showcases a blynk-based IoT application. The goal of this project is to keep track
of soil moisture, humidity, and temperature while also combining fertilisers for outdoor
plants.

The demands of designing safe and effective medical devices have significantly increased for
decades. Medical devices are considered a fundamental component of Health Systems. The
benefits they can provide continue to be increase as they're essential to prevent, diagnose, treat
and rehabilitate illnesses and diseases in a safe and effective way. Stable temperature, oxygen
saturation and heart rate in a human body are the most important assets for a person to have
normal life. Nowadays, many people are careless to do health check-ups due to some factors
like work, family time and etc. Therefore, we propose the Smart Mini Medical Device as
solution to make it easier for everyone to do their own health check-ups. The device we created
is a box that contains two sensors which are temperature sensor and MAX30102 (which
measures two things, namely oxygen saturation and heart rate) in the human body. All sensor
readings will be displayed on the LCD monitor and will be shown at the mobile apps as well.

Most people today are busy with their tight daily schedule. For example, a person who
works a routine 9am-5pm job or a busy businessman both cannot afford to lose one minute of
their life for something that is time-consuming. Sometimes, a patient or a caregiver might end
up spending a whole day in the hospital just to queue for a medical appointment. A need or
demand for a more practical way of booking a doctor’s appointment is voiced out by the
people and it is proven from the survey that we had made. The approaches taken were google
form survey and a google meet online interview. Three categories of respondents regardless of
their age are eligible for the survey’s participation which are healthcare officers, patients, and
caregivers. The survey had proven that most of the respondent’s complaint that they are having
the same problem which involved their satisfaction on the time spend for a single medical
appointment. Plus, some of them complaint about the registration process which was quite
intricated. All in all, the survey’s result had further proven the relevance of the hypothesis.
Thus, the idea of Smart Queue Management System in healthcare facilities is to solve this
recurring problem from happening again in the future. Our project aims to minimize an average
time taken for a patient or a caregiver spends for a medical appointment apart from facilitating
the hospital management by introducing an online doctor appointment booking apps.

Drowning has been a prominent cause of death throughout history; it is the third most cause of
unexpected death worldwide, accounting for over 1.2 million instances each year. It mostly
affects swimmers, children, and those looking for leisure opportunities. The aim of this project
is to develop an anti-drowning detection device that can monitor or measure oxygen level in
our body, assist the user or lifeguard to track a swimmer by a bracelet and trace the location of

Recycling is defined as the activity of treating materials or products using a special industrial
process so that they can be used again. Recycling is important as it can repurpose used
materials for other applications. Recycling reduces our carbon footprint, increases economic
security and conserves natural resources. However, trash from multiple sources are usually
sorted manually by human labour at one bottleneck point, which reduces recycling process
efficiency. Therefore, we propose the Smart Recycling Bin as the solution for efficient waste
sorting powered by artificial intelligence. Smart Recycling Bin handles waste sorting at the
source points rather than at the recycling plant. The Smart Recycling Bin is able to classify
metal, paper and plastic waste materials and sort them accordingly. Classification is done with
the lightweight MobileNetV2 convolutional neural network model running on the Raspberry PI
4B while the mechanical sorting process is done by 2 servo motors. The Smart Recycling Bin
also includes the trash level detection feature that is performed by ultrasonic sensors. With the
Smart Recycling Bin, we would be able to implement recycling that is more efficient.

The increasing number of vehicle users causes traffic congestion in public areas such as the
hospital. Users find it challenging to locate available parking spaces which leads to
unnecessary waste of time. As a part of developing smart infrastructures with the goal of
improving parking space management, the Smart Parking System (SPARKS) is proposed.
SPARKS is a contactless parking system that provides real time information about available
parking slots via a mobile application and an onsite parking information LED board. The
system includes the application of automatic parking barriers at designated parking slots for
emergency staff, hospital staff, and special needs visitors and allows them to locate vacant
parking slots in these areas. ESP8266 microcontrollers with WiFi modules are used to control
the servo motors at the entry and exit boom gate as well as to control the activation of the
parking barriers wirelessly. SPARKS provides an alternative to the current parking system
which allows contactless COVID-safe parking via a smart application which leads to time
optimization and reduction in traffic congestion and emissions.

In early times, a lot of manpower was needed by farmers to manage his farm and work more
than 40 hours per week. Traditional farmers farm based on their experience and farming
beliefs. For residential farmers, the most common problems are insufficient space for
plantation. Due to the modernization of IOT, many devices have been invented that are able to
assemble information on circumstances like humidity, temperature, light intensity and others,
as well as automate the farming process, which make work easier. So, a Smart Greenhouse is
proposed with the integration of sensors (Temperature and humidity sensor, soil moisture
sensor, light intensity sensor), NodeMCU ESP32 and MIT apps. The utilization of sensors
enables farmers to control the best conditions for crops planted, and increase yield. The usage
of MIT apps in hand phones then makes the invention more user-friendly. In apps, users will
be able to monitor the environment through sensor data, and also can switch on and off the
fertilizer and pesticide spray by just a click. Furthermore, users can insert threshold values for
soil moisture and temperature. When the data detected by sensors are out of threshold range, a
notification will be sent to the phone so that the user can take immediate action. Apart from
that, the system can automate the watering process, which in turn reduces man power needed.
Lastly, the layout is 2 levels to solve the space problem. As a result, the smart greenhouse is
proposed to be implemented to solve the problems.

People rely on public transportation in their daily lives, and any transportation issues can
significantly impact them in aspects of customer experience, efficiency, fraud and security, and
so on. Access to information for public transportation is critical, whether it is the time of
arrival, the availability status, facility or the route to solve these problems. Hence, public
transportation system can be improved by allowing bus users to access online bus schedules
and know the real-time bus current status. Service and facility information are available for
special needs users such as the disabled and elderly. We propose a Bus Live Transition mobile
app that focuses solely on data processing and user interface. A user interface (UI) is well-
known to be one of the most important components of an information system (IS). Bus live
Transition app can let users know the availability of the bus for their desired destination. Our
mobile app can also estimate the time of arrival for the available buses from other bus stops to
your current bus stop. The system would also show the current bus route and the facility of the
desired bus for special needs bus users. This project uses Thunkable as a tool platform to
develop the application. Therefore, our developed application can make bus users better plan

This project proposes a system that can help food supplier to manage and monitor inventory
and storage system. Inventory management is important to improve cash flow. When applying
a proper inventory management, the money of the business is rolled accordingly and spent on
merchandise that are demanded. Besides, an excellent inventory management will prevent
overstock and understock. Which in return, this will ensure the customer to be happy as they
do not have to wait for the things, they want to buy in the same time acquiring good quality
product. As for the storage, favourable condition is vital in keeping the freshness of foods,
especially raw ingredients. In this project storage of vegetable is considered. To monitor the
freshness of the vegetables, temperature, humidity level and concentration of carbon dioxide
(CO ) gas and methane gas (CH ) are constantly measured and sent to an IoT analytics platform
2 4
(i.e. Thingspeak). DHT22 is used for temperature and humidity sensing. Level of CO and 2
CH , which are are measured by using MQ5 sensor, indicates the freshness of the vegetable.

Besides of the sensors, the system also detects the opening of the storage door. This is to
ensure that the storage is kept close when it is not in use. Users can monitor the condition in
the smart storage by using an apps developed using MIT app inventor. The apps also provide a
solution for inventory management. In the app, types of products, quantity of product in and
out, price of the product and supplier details can be stored. This is expected to be more
practical alternative to the conventional inventory system where they used to write them
manually on an inventory book. In a nut shell, this smart system may help small business
owner with keeping in track of their inventory system in the same time be aware of the
freshness of their goods.

people are starting to harvest on their own for a living, technologies are being implied
to the mass industry to produce better harvest and efficient work rate with maximum
success. This has impacted the small-time farmers, not being able to coop-up with the
rising use of technology in agriculture due to modal issues. Our team who understood
the situation came up with an idea of the “A1 Tower “. A smart tower which is also
budget friendly that could help the farmers bring their farming up to the next level. Our
smart tower focuses on the basic needs that fulfils the criteria of a good farm. Our
tower consists of few sensors such as soil moisture sensor and a Passive Infrared (PIR)
sensor. These sensors would let the farmers posted on the condition of the soil to make
sure the crops grow healthily cause the soil is the base of a good plant. The PIR sensor
is used to detect motion nearby so the crops won’t be bothered by any insects or
animals. The A1 tower is also powered by a solar panel which is a cleaner source of
energy to ensure everyone strive for a greener ecosystem. We’ve also attached a Wi-Fi
module that would alarm the farmers on any unusual readings through their
applications in their mobile devices. The farmers will also be alerted by the LED’s and
buzzers programmed to the tower. All these sensors are programmed using

For our design, our idea is to reduce the time consuming on measuring the temperature and
taking attendance of students. If the number of students is less, then it should not be a problem
as it will not take a lot of time to take the attendance and temperature. Therefore, our design
will help the teacher save a lot of time and make it more efficient. At the same time also
implement smart feature products in school. Our design, mainly, is to record the attendance and
measure the temperature at the same time. We used infrared sensors to measure the
temperature and take the attendance of students by using RFID technology. Then, we will use
nodemcu as our microcontroller and some other components (such as buzzer and LCD screen)
as the indicator of our design.Hence, when students enter the school, they will use the RFID
tag to scan their attendance and at the same time the infrared sensor also able to measure the
temperature of the student. Once the students scan the RFID tag, the buzzer will make a sound,
indicating the attendance of students has been recorded. Meanwhile the LCD screen will
display the temperature of students once the infrared sensor detects the temperature of students.

Waste management has grown to be a major concern. As a result of the lack of efficient waste
management, there have been serious environmental consequences, such as overflowing
wastebins that have allowed animals and pests to invade garbage bags. Therefore, this project
contributes to the design and development of a smart green environment garbage monitoring
system by measuring the garbage level in real time and alerting the appropriate authorities
when the bin is overflowing with garbage. Among the components of the proposed system are
ultrasonic sensors that measure garbage level, a force sensitive resistor that acts as a
pushbutton to open the cover, and a NodeMCU microcontroller that controls system
operation, all of which will be connected via a database. This work demonstrates a system
that allows waste management to monitor the level of garbage depth within a dustbin based
on the level of garbage depth within the dustbin. The system displays the status of the garbage
bin through an LCD and an online database in real time, allowing the data to be saved for
future use and analysis, such as predicting when the garbage bin will reach its maximum
capacity. It is anticipated that this system will help to create a more friendly environment by
intelligently monitoring and controlling garbage collection through the Internet of Things.

Nowadays, there are many hi-tech applications that develops due to the demands of human.
Therefore, it will be better if there is a system that can help to take care of the plants to save
the time and reduce the manpower. This paper present the development of a system help in
plant growing. Water forms over 90% of the plant body by green or fresh weight basis. Water
helps plant in cooling down the plant through evaporation, enable photosynthesis process to
produce food and enable transpiration for nutrient absorption. Since water is important for
plant growth, it will be better to ensure water supply to plants all the time. Hence, this project
will show the use of soil moisture sensor YL-69 to provide signal to the microcontroller
Arduino Nano to control the pump that helps in water supplying. Besides, plant still requires
some essential mineral elements like potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen to growth faster and
healthier. Actually, these mineral can be provided by the soil organisms after digesting those
organic substances but the nutrient supply may be limited by the quantity of the organism by
the soil and the amount of nutrients produced unable to managed. Therefore, it will be better
to supply the Industrial fertilizers that can be directly absorbed by plant. This project shows
us the application solenoid valves and water flow sensors to control the volume of AB
fertilizer supplied to the plants. Since soil is the medium plant growth, its parameter directly
affects the growth of plant. For instance, soil temperature need to be properly managed as it
will affect the nutrient absorbing rate of plant. Plant can growth well at 18-24 °C as this
optimum soil temperature range enable most soil organism to function well, prevent the water
in soil to evaporate faster and ensure aeration of soil. Therefore, DS18B20 waterproof
temperature sensor was used to measure the soil temperature. In this era of technology, it is
found that most of us have the smart phone. Therefore, it is important for our project to have
the ability to transfer the data to smart phone wireless to ensure the convenience of the user.
Hence, the plant condition like soil humidity and soil temperature will be able to transfer to
smartphone through Bluetooth module HC05.

The purpose of the project is to design and develop a prototype of an autonomous human
tracking shopping cart that is capable of moving items for the user and trailing consumers
with the extensive ability to avoid obstacles. This feature has allowed researchers to explore
the feasibility of implementing the vast capabilities of tracking people in a shopping centre.
When encountered with obstacles in a big store, the shopping cart would be able to avoid
them. This is possible because the system is controlled by a microcontroller integrated with
ESP32 CAM for identifying and tracking the target user, as well as an ultrasonic positioning
system for measuring the direction of obstacles.
In recent years, online shopping technology has progressed dramatically. However, we can
still find people waiting for their turn at the billing counter of department stores. The
proposed system would also utilize an application on user’s smartphones to communicate
constantly with the store's database, and the trolley will interface with the database through
WIFI using the ESP-32 module. The mobile app offers a variety of features, including
allowing users to add items to a list and notifying consumers of the quantity of goods
purchased to keep track of their financial budget while shopping which make the checkout

In Malaysia, the occurrence of rainfall is very abundant and frequent since our country is
located north of the equator, the climate is equatorial which makes it hot, humid and rainy
throughout the year. For the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, from 2500 to 3000 mm of rain
falls per year. As for the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the rains are less abundant which
range from 1800 to 2500 mm. Due to the high rainfall frequency in Malaysia, implementing a
rainwater harvesting system would bring a lot of benefits particularly in replacing the
municipal water in some of our daily activities to help in water conservation. Therefore, we
decided to develop a smart rainwater management system to monitor the quality and water
level of the harvested rainwater to make sure its safety and availability for activities such as
gardening or irrigation. The system will provide us with the information of the water level,
water turbidity and water usage where the information will be supplied to the user through a
mobile application. The system also has a secondary water source — the municipal water to
ensure the uninterrupted water supply when the rainwater is running low.

Our project focuses on improving the lighting system in the faculty. The pain points from our
respondents, mostly students, are unlit lights in the faculty that cause anxiety or fears among
the students, electric wastage and exact location of switches are unknown because there are
too many switches. Our solution for these pain points is to design an app that is able to switch
on and off the lights along the path. To avoid electricity wastage, there is a timer feature in
the app that the user can flexibly set the duration of lights on. To be a friendly user app, the
user can choose the path that he wants the lights to turn on. What he needs to do is key in his
current location and destination location, aka path. Then the lights will turn on along that
path. To integrate between the app and the system, the module that we use is ESP32 which
has a Wifi function embedded in the microcontroller. The app and the ESP32 are integrated
through Wifi, that means the user needs to connect his smart phone to the ESP32 using the
same Wifi coverage. With this app, the lighting system in the faculty can be more flexible and

As busy university students who face the Covid-19 pandemic situation, we always spend a
very long time using gadgets such as laptops or smartphones in hostels to access online
classes or deal with assignments. However, the power supply of hostels is often
unpredictable. Blackouts happen frequently due to bad weather conditions such as heavy
storms or due to maintenance work. To help the students who need to submit assignments on
time or attend important lessons during this critical situation, a Solar-Rain Harvesting Hybrid
Generator is introduced. During a hot sunny day, the system will collect the light intensity
using a solar panel and generate electricity to be stored in the battery. Students can use the
battery to charge gadgets during emergency situations. Since Malaysia is a tropical country
with wet seasons, light intensity is not always enough to supply with the charging of batteries.
Hence, the rain harvesting system is installed as a backup of the solar system during rainy
days. The Rain harvesting system implements the concept of Benoulli’s equation, which
increases water pressure by increasing height and water volume to drive the water turbine to

Theme: Effective Utilization of Energy Resources
Solative: i-Home Smart Energy Monitoring and Controlling System
Home is undeniably the place where we spent most time in, more so during the covid-19
pandemic. Our homes’ energy usage is eventually increased; hence an alternative energy
source, which is solar energy, would be splendid to reduce our electric bills. This is
achievable with the help of solar panels to harvest solar energy, and batteries to store those
energy. Furthermore, the implementation of a monitoring and control system in the form of a
phone app enables the tenant to easily see and control which equipment are powered on or off
in real time. By using an Internet of Things (IoT) platform such as Blynk, the tenant is able to
‘talk’ to the home energy control system directly with ease using a user-friendly interface.
Since the sun is a decent resource of alternative energy to power our homes, the prototype
aims to harvest, monitor and use the energy at the user’s will in order to realise the goal –
Effective Utilisation of Energy Resources. Besides solar panel, the other hardware includes
Arduino Uno, ESP8266 WiFi, PZEM energy monitor, 12V DC to 220V AC inverter and
rechargeable batteries.

A smart locker system is a storage solution usually found in theme parks, hospitals, offices,
and even parcel delivery systems. It comprises an integrated technology that ensures secure,
convenient, and reliable storage solutions that users have trusted. Nowadays, due to
conventional lockers that have been used in the college and secured using keylocks, college
students often face problems such as losing and misplacing their keys which prevent them
from opening their lockers easily. Several undesirable theft occurrences have happened,
which has led to a social problem and a less secure environment on the campus. Therefore, an
Automated Smart Locker Security System was proposed to solve the issues commonly
experienced by college students. The objective of this project is to develop a locker that is
secure and convenient. The Automated Smart Locker Security System features are biometrics
recognition and an automated lock system. Face recognition and fingerprint scanner were
used as biometrics recognition to ensure that only the locker's owner can open the locker. For
the automated lock system, a solenoid lock was used to automatically open and close the door
after the user's biometrics were recognized. A wireless keypad has been applied to give users'
relatives the authority to unlock the locker for any unexpected situation. To conclude, an
Automated Smart Locker System improves college's conventional lockers, making the locker
more secure, convenient, and safe as a storage solution.

In 2019, there were 50,720 fire incidents occurred in Malaysia. From our survey, 66.7% of
respondents do not install home automated security system such as fire alarm due to
insufficient budget although most of them are worried about fire occurs at their houses.
Hence, an automated user-friendly and real-time monitoring fire detection and alarm system
was proposed. It utilizes three sensors, which are temperature sensor to measure the vicinity
temperature, smoke sensor to detect the presence of smoke and flame sensor to detect the
presence of flame. The alarm will smartly notify the user via their smartphones when the
possibility of fire occurs increases. When the fire happens, the buzzer will operate and the
LED will light up. Interestingly, via this alarm system, the user can monitor the temperature,
presence of smoke and flame at the area anytime and anywhere by using its mobile
application.

Home Automation is a fast-growing industry where people or user can control, monitor and
surveil their home appliances whenever and wherever they want. It is widely used for security
and control purposes. In this project, we are building two out of many features of home
automation which is controlling switches and home appliances, and detecting presence of
human in the house, all can be viewed and controlled through mobile phone. As long as both
the house and the mobile phone have internet connection, users can control and monitor their
house from afar. The main device uses to act as the brain of the control system of this project
is Nodemcu ESP8266. Since the microcontroller has wi-fi module integrated in it, it can
communicate with the cloud service we are using which is Firebase and communicate from
Firebase to user mobile phone. Mobile app is created to received data from Firebase and send
command to Esp8266 through internet connection. The project is purposedly made to solve
the problem where people forget to switch off the home appliances before going out which
can cost their electric bills more than what they really use.

Energy is a very important variable, and its conservation is of paramount interest to engineers
of our time. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. The energy conservation helps
in the sustainable use and protection of natural resources. Solar energy is produced by the
Sunlight is a non-vanishing renewable source of energy that is free from eco-friendly.
Electricity is one form of energy that affects almost every sphere of life. All our electronic
equipment needs a source of electrical energy to function. Hence, the quest to obtain this
energy source from different means is in high demand. Piezoelectric (PE) ceramics are
functional materials that can transform mechanical energy into electrical and vice versa. This
project uses piezoelectric sensors for bus stops or any corner in UTM. Since the facilities lack
features such as charger ports, fans, bus schedule board, and of course lighting, this Solar
Press-Power is the best option to overcome that problem. It produces power after being
pressed due to mechanical stress. Other than that, this project is user-friendly which can be
used as a pathway for pedestrians. Energy harvesting is much easier by using this concept.

HVAC system stands for heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling. This system
provides cooling and heating to residential and commercial buildings. A Smart HVAC system
leverages networked HVAC components to other technologies such as internet-of-things. The
purpose of having Smart HVAC system is to have a system that is automatically updated in a
building, keeps everything properly cooled, saves money, and reduces the risk of energy
misuse. Lower technological prices and the growing availability of wireless technologies have
made obtaining sensor readings for different HVAC components more affordable than ever
before. Furthermore, recent advances in data storage and cloud computing enable building
operators to access a wide range of HVAC data points, including temperature, pressure, flow
rate, and gas concentration. For this project, the air convection theory is applied to ensure
constant air circulation in a laboratory. The temperature of air going out through the return
vent must be cooler than the air coming in from the supply vent. By maintaining the
temperature difference, the air convection is introduced. To ensure systematic air circulation,
the warm air comes in and the cold air goes out. Humidity is also considered as a variable in
this project. If the humidity reaches lower than 40%, the mist spreader will be turned on.
Other than that, students in the laboratory will receive notifications for alert or evacuation
warning if the condition in the lab reaches the level with the most risk. The notifications will
be sent through the internet-of-things medium.

Malaysia is blessed with plentiful rainfall, with Peninsular Malaysia receiving an average of
2400mm each year. The majority of rainfall is lost due to a lack of suitable rainwater
harvesting measures. Our idea intends to successfully use rainwater to address the issue of
insufficient raw water supply caused by water supply disruptions while also encouraging
water conservation at home. This idea can collect rainwater in an overhead water tank, which
will then be filtered before being used. When a water supply disruption is detected, the system
will automatically convert from mains water to rainwater; however, users may manage the
switching manually at any time using a specialized smartphone application. In addition, if
water waste issues are discovered, our app may notify consumers.

Standby power which called vampire power is consumed by the electrical appliances while
they are switched off on the electronic interface or in stand-by mode. Standby power is
consumed by electrical appliances because they are in the process of waiting to turn on or to
standby to function. The most common users of standby power are multifunction printer,
televisions, video equipment, devices with continuous digital display such as microwave oven
and heating devices such as iron, kettle and oven. Although the standby power is small but the
cumulative total is significant. The standby power is also calculated into the total power usage
and it must be paid for. The article claims that 3% to 10% of the electricity bill is caused by
the standby power. So, an energy saving and monitoring product has been proposed to
overcome this problem. Arduino and ESP32 are function as controller for smart adapter to
operate with current sensor and relay. Smart adapter will function with the Blynk app to
monitor the energy consumption of the appliance in kWh and RM. Besides, through smart
adapter, the electricity supply can be cut down temporally by relay and the notification will be
sent to user if the appliance is not in use.

The sun is the main source of all alternative energy on the surface. Electricity generation from
photovoltaic panels is clean and green with no charges applied. Electric bills can be reduced,
and a stable power supply could be established by utilizing 46% of the solar radiation daily.
Solar energy is chosen as it is available virtually all year and it provides a more predictable
output than wind energy even though we are behind capturing this free vast amount of energy
produced by nature. This monitoring and switching system between the grid supply and the
standalone photovoltaic system is used to ensure the sustainability of our environment as
there is no harmful greenhouse gas emission. The voltage, current, and power of the PV
panel, solar battery, and load are monitored via a series of sensors. Sensors are interfacing
with NodeMCU via Wi-Fi where all the readings will be displayed on an application named
Blynk. The switching between grid supply and the photovoltaic system is semi-automatic
where the user can define which system can be used. One of the systems would be acting as a
backup when another system is supplying electricity to the load. Batteries are implemented to
ensure power supply when solar radiation is not available.

Perimeter protection acts as the first line of defence to detect an intruder. Smart Perimeter
Fencing (SPF) is an automated security system that will be implemented in a farm. It has the
capability of sensing the motion of the intruders and sending the notifications as well as the
pictures of intruders to users. The prototype is developed using Arduino UNO, ESP32, ESP32
camera, motion sensor, laser sensor module, photoresistive sensor module, buzzer and
DHT11. Data retrieved from the sensors will be transmitted via WiFi and the results such as
temperature and humidity can be viewed in the phone applications. Users also can monitor the
farm’s conditions and report the crime or incident to law enforcement agency immediately
even though they stay far from the farm. By applying the technology of Internet of Things
(IoT), users are able to communicate with the system in which they can control the buzzer by
turning it on or off through the applications.

This paper is to improve the security system in UTM. A model framework was developed to
assess existing conditions. According to the status quo, there are security guards at each gate
of UTM. However, half of the respondents think that the current security system cannot
ensure their safety. Hence, our aim is to increase safety by adding some security system in
each block as according to the survey, almost 80% of the respondents choose the residential
college as the best place to add the security system. The security system was developed to
improve safety of the staff and students. It was an automatic security system. It combined
three types of security systems which are fingerprint scanner, RFID scanner, and password
inserted. During the survey, we found that there are many strangers in UTM. Hence, with the
combination of the three type security system, it can distinguish between residents and
visitors. The result shows how the security system functions and how it can be applied in the
block of the colleges. Economic analysis shows the cost of the components used to create the
prototype.

Energy conversion using wasted heat is one of the applications of thermoelectric generator
technologies. It’s utilization in the alternative energy industry is attempted from many
aspects. Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are semiconductor-based devices that use heat to
produce electricity. A thermoelectric generator can also be called as Seebeck generator. The
thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage
and also vice versa via a thermocouple. A thermoelectric device of invention creates a voltage
when there is a different temperature on each side. The energy that will be stored can be used
in many applications such as to power and recharge mobile devices. This paper proposes to
build a prototype of thermoelectric generator mobile device charger which will use thermo-
electric cooler IC (peltier device). The two sides of the Peltier device will give the
temperature difference which are used to generate electricity to charge mobile devices. This
project is mainly created for the hikers to charge and power their mobile devices in a place
with no electricity. It will be much helpful for the long duration hiking activities. Figure 1:
