Biometric Access System

Using Biometrics like fingerprint, retina scan, etc, security in Access control systems can be made stronger. It would involve image processing, control processor with relevant software applications. Touch on the pad area of the door will authenticate the user/owner, this in turn will handle the lock levers to open the door. Multiple owners/users can be registered.

Metro Train Using MicroController

Metro trains are being attempted in India these days. Prototype of such trains could be made with microcontrollers. Microcontrollers help in specifying the path. Stations, stoppage timing, etc can be predefined.

Automatic Traffic Control System

Automotive technologies are gaining ground in road traffic-control systems today. There is a need for safety-critical traffic automation, and traffic engineering makes the dynamic or static analysis and the synthesis of automotive vehicle technologies possible. The goal of engineering is the planning and management of traffic systems.

The intelligent and cooperative set-up of actuation and its linkage to the central control system is vital for avoiding traffic jams and accidents. Moreover, environmental costs (eg pollution) can be decreased.

The design of the traffic control system can be evaluated in two steps – synthesis and analysis. Several models and multiple control strategies exist, and engineers must decide between them using a priori knowledge of the real system. Previously collected information can help to choose the appropriate model, parameters, measurement and control methodologies to create the optimal solution.
