Abstract: This project gives an outline for the development of an information system based on the existing systems with the utilization of some sensors and IOT. The cradle of this project is based on methodology of IOT. Water level in a dam needs to be maintained effectively to avoid complications. The quantity of water released is hardly ever correct resulting in wastage of water and it is impossible for a man to precisely control the gates without knowledge of exact water level and water inflow rate. We have developed a mechatronics based system. We have designed a system in which real time things are interconnected to web. Water level contactless Ultrasonic sensor is placed in tub connected through Arduino UNO to serve the same purpose automatically and forward the status to it. This system detects the level of water and estimate the water inflow rate in a tub and thereby control the Solenoid valve using IOT in a real-time basis. The water level is analysed using this sensor and updated in the web server using IOT module connected to the Arduino UNO. Arduino unit checks that input and upload the status of water level on web. Keywords: IOT (Internet of Things), Mechatronics, Ultrasonic sensor, Arduino UNO, Solenoid valve.

ABSTRACT The slow handling of the flooding problem for people who live on riverbanks and densely populated areas in urban areas due to the lack of preliminary information obtained by the local community, causing huge losses both morally, materially and even causing fatalities. Based on these problems, a prototype monitoring system for flooding early detection was made with the aim that it can be used as a means of information whose data can be accessed through notifications in the form of short message services (SMS) in real time. In making this research, data collection was carried out in the form of water level data that had occurred at the location of the flood and then made the system design and implementation of that system by conducting trials in the field. This early flood detection system works by monitoring the water level using a level control system. This water level monitoring uses an ultrasonic sensor that is controlled using an arduino uno microcontroller. Data information about the water level is forwarded to the GSM module in the form of a notification message of SMS to the public. For the working of this prototype device in the design, the author uses an electrical power supply from renewable energy in the form of On Grid PLTS system. The results obtained from this research are for normal status the water level is at 5-50 cm, for alert status is 55-85 cm and for danger status is 90-100 cm.

Technology has advanced to the point that it can assist people in their daily lives. Human beings may benefit from this development in a variety of ways. Progress in river water monitoring is also one of them. There are many advantages in improving the river water monitoring system. The objective of this project is to develop an automated system for monitoring river water levels and quality with push notification features. Internet of Things (IoT) was implemented in this research by using NodeMCU as a microcontroller to connect both ultrasonic sensors and pH sensors to the Internet. An ultrasonic sensor is used to read the water level, and a pH sensor is used to read the water pH values. The results show the successful output from all of 10 time attempts to obtain more accurate test results. The results will be averaged to be analysed and concluded from the test. All the tests include testing for the accuracy of the ultrasonic sensor, the accuracy of the pH sensor, and the performance of the internet connection using integrated Wi-Fi module in NodeMCU microcontroller. The system test also shows that it performs perfectly with the requirement needed to send the real-time status of the water level, water quality and an alert to the user using the Telegram Bot API. This research can help to increase the level of awareness of the river water monitoring system. This research was done by looking at people's problems in the vicinity of the river area by producing a system tool that helps to monitor the river water in real-time status.

The arrangement of the floodgates for rice irrigation canals is currently still using the manual method. This is very burdensome for farmers because it requires time and energy. Therefore, we need a sluice in the irrigation canal that can be done automatically. The purpose of this research is to design a miniature sluice system that can automate the sluice gate in opening and closing the sluice gate based on the water level limit of the channel. The method used in this study is the use of Arduino Uno as data storage, a servo motor that functions as a floodgate controller, a water level sensor to open the floodgate and an ultrasonic sensor that functions to determine the water level. The results of the tool testing in the research of the miniature automatic sluice gate that has been designed, namely the automatic sluice gate will open when the water sensor at the top is exposed to water. The ultrasonic sensor will measure the distance between the sensor and the water surface to make a decision to close the floodgate. If the sensor distance with the water surface is still 14 m, then the floodgate will open 1800, if the sensor distance with the water surface is 4 cm and 14 cm, then the floodgate will open 900 and if the distance between the sensor and the water surface is 4 cm, then the floodgate will be closed.

In this paper, a real time tracking system is put forward. In this we are going to design a system which is used for tracking and positioning by using (GPS) and (GSM). This design is based on embedded application, which will regularly monitor location and report the status. This tracking device which is used in real time vehicle location tracking is done using the Arduino Uno Atmega328P, SIM800A module and NEO 6M GPS module. For doing so, the Arduino Uno Atmega328P is combined serially to a GSM module and GPS module. The design make use of RS-232 protocol for serial communication between the modems and the microcontroller. A serial driver IC is used for transforming TTL voltage levels to RS-232 voltage levels. The GSM module is used to regularly send the position of the vehicle from distant place. The GPS module that makes use of satellite technology for its navigation system will regularly give information like longitude, latitude, speed, distance travelled etc. For this purpose, Amazon Cloud Services is used for location data handling. The MySQL database is used to reserve all the data of the GPS.

PDAM Loa Kulu Branch still uses sticks or poles as an indicator of the water level in the reservoir. Reservoir is a place to store clean water production from PDAM, the weakness of using sticks or poles is when the operator does not monitor continuously causing air loss when production becomes large. The goal of the study was to design a water-level prototype to control excess water in the reservoir. The method used is a prototype with the stage of gathering information through interviewing PDAM staff, creating and repairing prototypes and testing prototypes. The test used hardware consisting of Arduino uno r3, ultrasonic sensor hc-sr04, flowmeter sensor yf-s201, 16 x 2 lcd, relay module, buzzer, solenoid valve 12 V_dc, pump 12 V_dc and display measurement results in the visual studio application 2019. Our findings are that the length of reservoir charging with an average input discharge of 3.6 liters / minute is 2.93 minutes. As for the length of emptying the reservoir with an average output discharge of 1.06 liters / minute is 12.10 minutes. The conclusion of this study is that the system can monitor the water level inside the reservoir automatically and know the time needed for the feeling and emptying process of the reservoir.

The more urbanized and industrialized a country becomes, the more trash it produces. Waste management has been a crucial issue to be considered.  In this paper, a smart bin using GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) modem and ultrasonic sensor interface with Arduino Uno board as platform is proposed and prototyped. Technology in arduino, ultrasonic sensor and GSM module are reviewed. The GSM module is an open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice, data services and transmission of SMS (Short Message Service). Ultrasonic Ranging Module, HC - SR04, is placed on the cover of the dustbin which will determine the status of the garbage inside. The minimum level of garbage inside the dustbin is 10 cm. Once the garbage reaches the minimum level, HC - SR04 ultrasonic sensor triggers the GSM modem which will continuously alert the required authority until the garbage is removed from the dustbin. Design shows that GSM modem and ultrasonic sensor interfacing using Arduino Uno board as platform can make garbage collection operations smarter, more efficient and less wasteful. To be more energy-efficient, solar power will be incorporated into future designs.

Parking space is becoming a serious problem due to increasing number of vehicles along with the mismanagement of available parking space. Particularly, in places where sports or artistic events are scheduled, searching for parking space is a major problem. In order to combat this problem, Smart Parking Platform is implemented using sensors to detect when a car enters or leaves a parking lot in order to track capacity and alert drivers about availability of parking space. Inefficient management of parking system effects traffic flow and also leads to wastage of time and fuel. Smart Parking Platform smoothens the parking experience and achieves convenience for users by displaying the status of the parking slots in web browser and guiding drivers towards empty parking slot. In this paper, each parking slot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor which is interfaced to Arduino UNO microcontroller. Arduino UNO sends the trigger pulse to the ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensors senses whether the parking slot is empty or occupied and sends the data from echo pin to Arduino UNO, which is programmed in such a way that it processes the data and communicates to Node MCU. The status of the parking spaces is updated in the webpage regularly. The user can access the information regarding parking slots by connecting to the provided network. If a parking slot is empty, it is represented by green block. If it is filled, it is represented by red block. This project aims towards reducing traffic congestion and time while searching for parking space. It can be applicable in places such as convention centers, shopping malls, airports, bus stations, stadiums and theatres.
