Description
This report discusses the development of a Tunnel Flood Detection System with Barrier Control and Notification Mechanism designed specifically to address the challenges of flooding in Malaysia, especially in tunnels and low-lying areas. The system uses ultrasonic sensors for water level detection, an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller, and NodeMCU with LoRa modules for wireless communication. A web-based platform allows for the visualization of real-time data and the generation of alerts. The system integrates automatic barriers, traffic lights, and a buzzer that work together to control vehicular access in view of public safety with regard to flood scenarios. The use of XAMPP as a local server and MySQL for data storage ensures reliable and efficient backend operations. The project has the objective to improve flood management, raise safety, and shorten response times by integrating hardware and software components. A physical model was developed to simulate real-life situations, thus showing the effectiveness of the system.
