Abstract
Key Questions
What is the aim of the proposed IoT-based solution?
The aim is to help individuals maintain a social distance of 1.5 meters to prevent the spread of COVID-19 using a wearable IoT device with a PIR sensor.
How does the wearable device work?
The device uses a PIR sensor to detect nearby individuals and alerts the wearer through an audio message if the 1.5-meter social distancing norm is violated.
Why is social distancing important in preventing COVID-19?
Social distancing helps reduce the transmission of COVID-19 by limiting close contact between individuals, thus preventing the spread of the virus.
What are the limitations of current social distancing methods?
Current methods like CCTV or drones for crowd surveillance are not designed for individual monitoring and fail to directly alert individuals to maintain distancing.
How does the proposed system improve upon existing solutions?
This system provides personal notifications to individuals, ensuring they maintain social distancing without relying on external surveillance systems.
What is the potential impact of this IoT solution?
The solution could significantly reduce COVID-19 transmission rates by ensuring individuals maintain recommended distancing in public places.
