Airborne diseases can spread rapidly through respiratory droplets and aerosols generated by infected individuals during coughing, sneezing, or close interpersonal interaction. Preventive practices such as wearing face masks and maintaining adequate social distance can reduce the possibility of disease transmission. However, continuously monitoring these practices in crowded public areas is difficult. This paper presents an Electric Street Cart with Protocols for Airborne Diseases, designed using a Raspberry Pi platform, webcam, IR sensors, and speaker. Artificial intelligence, deep learning, and image-processing techniques are employed to identify whether a person is wearing a face mask. The webcam captures real-time images, which are processed by the Raspberry Pi to classify individuals as wearing or not wearing a mask. When a violation is detected, an audio warning is generated through the speaker. IR sensors are additionally used for social-distance monitoring and generate an audio alert when the required distance is not maintained. The developed system provides a low-cost approach for assisting street vendors and other public environments in maintaining airborne-disease safety protocols.
KEYWORDS
An Electric Street Cart with Protocols for Airborne Diseases has been developed using Raspberry Pi, artificial intelligence, deep learning, image processing, webcam-based face detection, IR sensing, and audio-warning techniques. The implemented system automatically identifies individuals with and without face masks and generates an alert when mask requirements are violated. The sensor-based distance-monitoring subsystem additionally provides an audio warning when the required distance is not maintained. The integration of these functions provides a practical prototype for assisting street vendors in maintaining basic airborne-disease safety protocols. The proposed approach can be further extended to surveillance systems and other public environments where automatic mask and social-distance monitoring is required.
