researcher are motivated to develop an ultrasonic sensor device for alternative
people counter device. The researchers believe that the said device will help in
daily monitoring of the required number of people in a certain area every time.
This would assist in some owner of the establishment and market as well as in
some public places to monitor and control the required number of people in the
area or places. It also help people observe a social distancing as they will see
the real-time number of people who are still allowed inside in a certain area or
place.
In addition to our study the researchers will apply some features to our
device that can help in observing social distancing by notifying the people within
the area which can be more convenient in monitoring the required number of

In addition, the proximity sensor detects the presence of objects that are
nearly placed without any point of contact. Since there is no contact between the
sensors and sensed object and lack of mechanical parts, these sensors have
long functional life and high reliability. The different types of proximity sensors
are Inductive Proximity sensors, Capacitive Proximity sensors, Ultrasonic
ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an electrical
signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the
sound that humans can hear). Ultrasonic sensors have two main components:
the transmitter (which emits the sound using piezoelectric crystals) and the
receiver (which encounters the sound after it has travelled to and from the target)
