A SMART CLASSROOM FAISAL MD. TANVIR ISLAM Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, North South University, Dhaka 1229 Abstract:. “SMART CLASSROOM” is a classroom where energy can be saved by using renewable energy. In this class classroom solar panel has been used to supply the power to the entire classroom. Students have to punch their RFID card to get access into their classroom. Fans and lights will be automatically turned on and off. When the class will start it will be automatically turned on and when it will end it will be automatically turned off. Now a days parents are very much concerned about their children whether they are attending the class or not. That is why this classroom has additional feature, if any student will miss the class an automatic message will be sent to their parent’s phone number. Gate will be locked until the class ends and teacher will have a special id that can be used in any emergency cases. I.
INTRODUCTION
Classrooms are the most basic component s of an educational institution. From the elementary school to the medical colleges or Engineering universities, classroom is the most important infrastructure of an educational institute. A classroom is a learning space, a room in which classes are held. Classrooms are found in educational institutions of all kinds, from preschools to universities, and may also be found in other places where education or training is provided, such as corporations and religious and humanitarian organizations In this age of massive digitalization of our country, classrooms are the most needed structures to be digitalized. If this happens, this would be the biggest evolution of our road to Vision 2021. Smart classrooms are the classrooms enhanced with technological equipment’s and support for the purpose of greener environment and better teaching and learning experience. In a smart classroom, the electrical power used is enhanced from the solar energy and battery. In a smart class room we will time to save time and energy also. RFID based auto attendance system will allow us to save the time needed to take the attendance of students by the teacher. Auto door lock system will allow us to make sure that no student can leave the classroom in class time. The student’s database and parents messaging system will allow us to inform the parents whether the students bunk the school or not. If a student is absent in a class, an SMS will automatically be sent to his/her parents cell phone number. The home automation system will allow us to save energy while there is no one in the room. Solar power system in collaboration with a DC battery will make our classroom less dependent on grid power, thus make the environment greener.
based attendance system there are some work explained how they can count attendance automatically by using RFID cards. RFID Technology (Radio Frequency Identification and Detection) is commonly used in schools, colleges, office and stations for various purposes to automatically keep a track of people. [3] Automatic Attendance Marking and Parent Alerting System Using RFID and GSM and [5] RFID based Employee Attendance & Database Management System are the projects on similar kind of interest. In the later one they wanted to maintain a record of attendance of the employees in an industry. Most of the industries use manual attendance system. They have used RFID hardware to take the attendance of an employee. Each employee will be given an individual RFID tags and its record will be maintained in a database. When he will place the tag for first time in a day, time will be fetched and will be stored as in time. The main difference between our project and the projects mentioned above is that our project is multidimensional. In our project we have tried to deal with both use of advanced technology and energy saving at the same time. Our project is not only about automatic attendance system. Use of renewable source (solar) and automated power system is introduced here in order to reduce the dependency over grid power in order to promote greener world. Moreover the SMS forwarding feature adds a surplus in terms of social value .A digital LED display will be added to make the environment of the classroom technologically advanced and it will add a flavor of smartness.
There are a number of similar kind of projects can be found. In spite of that, the smart class room is not an exact adaption or upgrade of any previously done project. There are many projects done that matches the features of it. In [1]. GSM based solar tracking system the whole automated system with self-decision making capability. The decision making part will be carried out by the Microcontroller and GSM. The solar tracking system will help in capturing maximum sunlight from the sun. This energy will be stored in a DC Battery. On another project related to ours [2] RFID
Recently terrorists had attack in Dhaka. University students were involved in it. After few days we came to know that those students were absent in class more than 6 months and parents were not notified. Our smart attendance system is a great solution for the parents who were really concern about their children whether they are attending the class or not. Who bunk their class in regular basis their parents will be notified by our smart classroom. It also saves energy because our whole system will run by solar system and we have also light fan automation system who will also save energy. We have built a smart classroom which is very necessary in these days. It will count attendance automatically. It runs by solar panel which is
