Drainage Management System Using Ultrasonic Sensors

THE PROBLEM Statement of the Problem The researcher sought to innovate a new drainage system management with use of ultrasonic sensor. The main aim of this study is to provide a real-time information on the drainage condition and water level detection. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the Operation Design of the researcher-made drainage management system? 2. What Materials and Procedures are used the researcher-made drainage management system? 3. How functional is the proposed design based on its purpose? Assumption: The researcher-made drainage management system is effective in providing a real-time information on the drainage condition and water level detection.

Results and Discussion

I-A. The Operation Design – Block Diagram The operation design of the proposed drainage management system using ultrasonic sensors is to locate clogs for an early flood response. Figures 1 illustrates the block diagram of the ultrasonic sensor of the design project. Figure 1. Block diagram of the ultrasonic sensor

I-B. Operation Design - The Programming The researcher collected different programs for each sensor from the Arduino website. The codes were compiled and modified to fit the use to be obtained using the Arduino 1. 6. 9 software. Extensive revision and analysis were done in order to achieve the expected code. Figure 2 illustrates the program flow chart of the whole project.

I-C. Operation Design – The Set Up Mechanism of Ultrasonic Sensor The Ultrasonic sensor detects the distance of any object without the sense of touch. It is set into repeatable mode, meaning it will continue to detect any object’s distance until it ends. The sensor is given a ten-second calibration time and after that, it runs. This sensor contains lenses that determines its detection range. It is said to have a minimum and maximum range of 2 to 400 centimeters according to the manual. The sensor is then set to its maximum range.

According to the program, the sensor will only send a high signal once the distance of uneven water levels are detected. The system was then tested in various situations with a clog in different areas of the drainage system. This is to ensure the accuracy of the whole system. An LED, along with a piezo element buzzer, is paired up with each Ultrasonic set-up that turns on when the coniditon is met. Thus, if an LED and buzzer emit light aand sound respectively, then it must mean there is a block within its area.

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega 2560 (datasheet). It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila.

As the program coded runs, the researcher observes that the system runs all together. The operation of the drainage management system set-up is based on the readings of the ultrasonic sensors. The data collected by the ultrasonic sensors are fed into the system to be displayed in a serial monitor. Once an unequal reading is found between two sensors (i. e. , Sensor A is greater than Sensor B), and equal reading is found between another two sensors (i. e. , Sensor B is equal to Sensor C), then there is a clog or block in the system, therefore the function of this system is to detect clogs based on the ultrasonic sensors’ readings and their conditions programmed. As an unequal reading is gathered from two different areas/ultrasonic sensors, an LED and Piezo element buzzer is activated to dictate a block in the system. It is observed that the system is delayed by onefourth of a second or 25 milliseconds.
