Bidirectional Visitor Counter and Power Management

ABSTRACT: Counters with directional detection are useful for counting of objects moving along a predefined path. These may find application as visitor counters and also for counting of objects in a given direction and ignoring those moving in the reverse direction. Here we present a simple circuit that counts the number of persons or the objects entering the premises ignoring those exiting or leaving it. The counter section consists of two IR LEDs, two photodiode detectors. The movement of objects including the direction of their movement is detected by the arrangement of the IR LED and photodiode detector pairs. The photodiode of each pair is mounted opposite to its corresponding IR LED fall directly on the photodiode detector. If the object or the person cut the IR rays we can count the number with programming in micro controller. And we display the count on Seven Segment Display. By the number of visitors count we can manage the devices in shopping malls. If the count is below ten we switch on only one light. If the count is increasing we can switch on the more lights.
