With the rising cases of COVID-19worldwide, transportation sector has been oneof the primary victims of Covid-19. Our countryis going through the unlocking phase and publictransport is being available again. But in orderto stay safe from Covid-19, the physicaldistancing norms must be maintained. In publictransport, it is rather impossible to maintain aproper physical distance. So we have created anautomatic system, where the number of peopleriding in the vehicle is always fixed so as tomaintain proper physical distancing. Thissystem has a fixed number of passengers whocan ride at the same time. It detects the no. ofpassengers going inside the vehicle and stops theentry of other passengers when it reaches it’spermissible range. And until the passengercount is lessened, the entry gate won’t open. TheNovel prototype model is tested using web-basedsimulation tool Tinker Cad Circuits and theoutcomes are remarkable and can beImplemented in Real life Cases for crowdmanagement systems.
