Abstract
This is the age of uprising technology where technology is used to facilitate people’s lives and help those in need. Having a Suitcase to store our items in is extremely essential whether during shopping, Hanging out, or most importantly traveling. One of the most irritating experiences that travelers might have during traveling is the loss or mixing of their luggage with other passengers. Another hard experience that is present during traveling is people with disabilities who are unable to carry or move their luggage. To help people and especially those with disabilities move and travel without any burdens we have developed a smart suitcase. The suitcase will be intelligent enough to carry out various features for everyday use. The suitcase works on AI technology that helps in detecting the owner of the luggage by a mobile application that has a connection with the bag, raspberry pi that has the software which the camera need and prevents it from mixing with other’s personal luggage, we will use ultrasonic sensors of type HC-SR04 which will help the case in scanning process the environment to prevent collisions with either people or luggage and 2 Motors help move the bag along with its owner in a smooth way also we will use H bridge to control the inversion of DC motor and to control the speedway, strongly built chassis that helps to protect the contents inside the bag in case of collision.
1.1 Background
The smart suitcase is built with advanced electrical technologies for security and to make traveling more efficient and convenient. The effort required to carry bags is reduced via auto-trailing technology. Everywhere people go on vacation, they bring their luggage with them. However, for older individuals and those with disabilities, dragging out their heavy luggage at the airport is particularly challenging. The entire issue would be solved if there could be a suitcase that follows the passengers using a human following mechanism. Utilizing information from an ultrasonic sensor, the next technique is put into practice. When detecting impediments, the ultrasonic sensor sends sound waves and then gathers the returned waves to determine how far away the bag is from the user. Using a buzzer and a GPS, misplacing or losing baggage can also be prevented. In addition, it has the capability of tracking the bag using GPS and IoT modules and determining its precise location. For security purposes, a sensor and a camera are used.
1.2 Motivation
Suitcases’ importance is inevitable since people need to carry and move their belongings. In Addition to that, the people with disabilities who are unable to carry their belongings with them everywhere were in need of an idea to help them out in their everyday life. So smart suitcase helps them to overcome these issues by helping them carry out their belongings in an easy way without worrying about the burden of carrying or losing them.
1.3 Problem Statement
One of the most irritating experiences that travelers might have during traveling is losing or mixing their luggage with other passengers. Another hard experience that is present during Everyday life including traveling is people with disabilities who are unable to carry or pull their luggage. Using one of the most efficient algorithms in deep learning (YOLOV5) for object detection, Image processing (for processing and understanding the objects that are detected and translating them to the bag to help in following the owner and evading the obstacles), Hardware components (Receive information from the software and translate it to movement) and Mobile Application(it connects between the owner and the bag).
