Secure ATM Door Locking System Using RFID

摘要

The recent incident at one of the ATMs in Bengaluru has challenged the security and safety measures currently used at ATM machines. Anyone can enter the ATM cabin without the knowledge or permission of the person currently using the ATM. This increases the possibility of crime-like attacks and theft at gun points, etc., as another customer can easily enter the ATM at any time. The existing system does not have measures to ensure that when a person is using the ATM, no other person is allowed to enter. The proposed system ensures that no other person is allowed to enter the ATM cabin when a person is using the ATM machine. This system will have an electronic lock that has to be unlocked by swiping the person's debit card, and once the person has entered the cabin the door automatically locks once it is closed. Now, to open the door the same debit card has to be used from inside the cabin. In this way, a person who is waiting outside has no chance of entering the cabin and attack the person who is currently using the ATM. This system not only ensures safety against attacks and thefts but also creates awareness against antisocial elements. After developing this application a fair amount of revenue can be generated by collaborating with banks and the IT industry.
