Abstract:
The importance and prime value of cleanliness and hygiene of a person’s vehicle is often overlooked and frowned upon. It rarely becomes a topic of discussion especially to the general public. But in reality, this is a phenomenon that we subconsciously do not realize as it happens as day goes on. In other words, it builds up day by day and eventually the muck, debris and germs have built up so much that some people will just choose to ignore it further. This applies especially towards public vehicle transport that often carries multiple customers throughout the day, these customers have been all over the place and like it or not, they’re practically exchanging germs under the fabrics of the seats of the vehicles. It is a proven fact that no single product is effective enough to kill a hundred percent of germs on a particular surface, so it is a responsible for us to keep our vehicles clean to the best of our abilities. That is when this project comes in. Big public transportation companies when given the chance, usually hires a third-party company to clean their cars for them, same goes for individual E-hailing drivers as they often disregard the cleanliness of their vehicles. So, with the existence of this system, it not only will clean and disinfect one’s vehicle with the best efficiency but also will save tremendous amounts of cost, effort and time. With just the simple push of a button, the insides of the public transportation vehicle can be disinfected with no extra work needed to be put in. Simply push the button, step out of the vehicle for a couple seconds until the display have popped up signaling that the vehicle has been sanitized. This not only gives a narrative of cleanliness of the environment to the customers but also ensures the actual hygiene of the vehicle in the most efficient way possible. This system uses the functionalities and the flexibility of the Arduino IDE component. It is implemented in the circuit alongside many other components that I use including the LCD display, motion detector and more.
