Introduction:
The Automatic Door Opening System is a smart and
efficient solution designed to automate the process of
door access using sensor-based detection. It enhances
convenience and hygiene, especially in public spaces,
by eliminating the need for manual door handling. This
project utilizes an Arduino microcontroller as the brain
of the system to control the door based on inputs from
sensors.
Objective:
To design and implement a microcontroller-based
automatic door opening system that uses sensors to
detect the presence of a person and opens or closes
the door accordingly.
Scope:
Applicable in offices, hospitals, homes, malls, and
other buildings for contactless door access.
Enhances accessibility for the elderly and physically
challenged.
Can be integrated with security systems for restricted
access.
System Components:
Arduino Uno (Microcontroller)
Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) or IR Sensor (for proximity
detection)
Servo Motor / DC Motor with Motor Driver (for door
movement)
Power Supply (Battery or Adapter)
Breadboard, Jump Wires
Relay Module (optional, if using AC-powered doors)
Working Principle:
The sensor detects the presence of a person
approaching the door.
The Arduino processes the signal and activates the
servo/DC motor to open the door.
After a preset delay, the Arduino signals the motor to
close the door automatically.
The system ensures smooth and contactless operation
with minimal delay.
Software Requirements:
Arduino IDE (for writing and uploading code)
Embedded C/C++ (Programming Language)
Hardware Requirements:
Arduino Uno board
Ultrasonic or IR Sensor
Servo Motor / DC Motor
Motor Driver Module (L298N or similar)
Power Supply (5V–12V)
Relay (if AC door control is needed)
Advantages:
Contactless operation improves hygiene.
Reduces manual effort, especially helpful for the
elderly and disabled.
Cost-effective and easy to implement.
Future Enhancements:
Integration with RFID or biometric systems for secure
access control.
Smartphone control via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi.
Real-time monitoring and data logging.
Conclusion:
This project demonstrates how automation using
Arduino can enhance everyday utilities like door
operation. It is simple, cost-effective, and scalable,
with broad applications in both public and private
sectors.
