Temperature actuated non-touch automatic door

Amongst the various symptoms developed by humans infected with Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), rise in body temperature is the most preliminary symptom. As the corona virus is highly contagious, it is very important to avoid physical contact with an infected person in order to prevent the spread of this pandemic. Towards achieving this, entry into public places such as airports, railway stations, malls, schools and colleges, offices, etc. is allowed after scanning of body temperature manually through infra-red temperature guns. However, apart from being cumbersome and time consuming, this method of temperature scanning and manually regulating entry is unsafe too. Moreover, there is no record keeping and monitoring of any individual who is diagnosed with fever and can be a suspected COVID-19 virus carrier. As the virus is highly transmittable, it is thus imperative to automate the entry of people based on body temperature measurement. This paper covers designing and developing a system which would measure the body temperature and regulate the entry of people through a mechanized door which would be actuated for opening only if the person seeking entry does not have fever. The system would also have a digital camera for capturing the Aadhar card/ID card details of any fever infected person at the entry point and these details can be transmitted to any designated email ID by a network video recorder, which would also be part of the system.
