Abstract

In Malaysia, these manholes are found in two types, mostly cover the normal underground drainage system and some of the manhole cover for telecommunications company. The problems we encounter are these manholes are not always monitored and due to that many theft cases of the manhole covers are identified. Among these problems, the loss of a manhole cover can cause fatal accidents as well. Therefore, the purpose of this project to develop a system that can reduce the theft of manhole covers. The objective of this project is to design a device detector using electronic circuit to alert and send messages via a mobile phone to a control center about the status of the manhole cover of telecommunication companies. This manhole detector system used an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller to control the input and output of the system is a buzzer to give warning and a GSM Module to transmit and receive data to a mobile phone via SMS. Therefore the outcome of this design of this system is able to detect the unauthorized opening of Manhole cover by using the Magnetic Sensor. The system is able to will generate notification in the form of SMS to notify the opening of manhole covers in the area via the Arduino and GSM SIM900 as integrated. This prototype design solves the issue of theft detection of the manhole cover and can be further implemented.
