Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of RECAL, The Alumni Association of National Institute of Technology, Trichy will be held on Saturday, 17th February 2018 in the Campus,A13 at 4pm Hall to consider and finalize the subjects as per the following Agenda. You are requested to attend the Meeting and offer your valuable support and
advice.

The proposed project is about making a smart Public Bus Transport System. It is a step to make the bus timings less erratic. The passenger waiting at the bus stop will get to know the arrival timings of the bus they are expecting. In a system which involves more than a million passengers using the public transport system on a daily basis, it will lead to a tremendous increase in reliability, efficiency and time savings from the passenger’s side.

The system makes use of wireless transmission using Arduino to indicate to the passenger waiting at a bus stop about the position of the bus through a display fixed at the stop. In big cities like Chennai, consisting of a large fleet of buses this system can prove economical and effective.

For the racing cars that are assembled in our college, an electronic system needs to be interfaced so as to make the car more interactive and also allow the driver to know the internals of the car during the ride. The proposed electronic system will measure the gear oil level and the fuel level and shall send the data to the driver as well as those at the pits. This would involve the use of microcontroller namely the Arduino Mega, use of sensors to measure levels, zigbee communication protocols and system to manage the data.

The project aims to build a real-time feedback interface between the user and his/her house, to make the house more intelligent and to cater to the needs of the user. Also, it makes the user aware of the changes in various systems in the house and notifies him to take actions/automatically takes the necessary action. The feedback from the user is primarily based on Gesture and Face Recognition. The house is secured with the help of the mobile application and allows access only if the user’s face is recorded in the phone with the mobile phone connected to the Wi-Fi access point in the house. The user can control his devices using hand-based gestures. All this is processed and stored in a background app that runs in the mobile and the results are relayed to the house. Using this optical feedback from the user, the devices in his house such as AC/thermostat, lights, music player and television are controlled. The feedback from the house is using sensors (such as ultrasonic sensor) and the results are sent as notifications to the user so that he becomes aware of the systems in his house (like garbage level, security of the house etc.) through a mobile application.
