Development of Thermal Detection Device for Automotive Vehicles to Monitor Human Body Heat 2021-26-0232

According to research studies, epidemics such as SARS, COVID-19 spread have caused huge negative impacts on population, health and the economy around the globe. The outbreak places a huge burden on international health systems that were already straining to address AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and a host of other conditions. Research has proven that incase infected person is not traced timely then the spread of infection in society will take the shape of large-scale community transmission. Most of the infections spread because they got unnoticed by the infected person. One part of the access checker scans is a person’s body temperature by measuring infrared radiation emitted by their skin. Fever screening by infrared thermal imaging has become more widespread following the SARS infection, and particularly during the pandemic H1N1 and COVID-19 outbreak. Skin temperature is measured without contact by monitoring the emitted infrared radiation. The infrared thermal camera that monitors radiations, and human body heat. Presently there is no passenger and commercial vehicles equipped with “thermal detection device” in the market, which monitors the thermal variations of passengers and helps to restrict the spread of the virus in pandemic circumstances. In the current situation “thermal detection device” is a need of an hour for society.
This paper deals with the design and development of the “thermal detection device” for passengers in public transport vehicles. This paper also comprises the scenario, where if a passenger is having a high body temperature at that time “thermal detection device” will activate the alarm. Further it explains the type of “thermal detection device” design, logical programming and system packaging. The system has been validated on the vehicle to check the response time and accuracy of the “thermal detection device” of the electronically controlled system. Safety features include temperature range and voice call-based alerts.
