Description

A notification system for a pregnant woman's priority seat using an Arduino UNO programmable kit board The present invention relates to a priority seat guidance system for pregnant women using an Arduino Uno kit, and more specifically, to a priority seat guidance system for pregnant women equipped with an Arduino Uno kit and a laser distance sensor installed on the upper part of a seat in a passenger transport vehicle such as a subway or bus, which makes a broadcast once encouraging a pregnant woman to yield her seat whenever a person sits in the priority seat for pregnant women if there is a pregnant woman nearby, thereby showing consideration for the seat to the pregnant woman. As Korea is a country with a declining population that decreases every year, the government is implementing various policies to encourage childbirth. Pregnant women experience physical pain from the early stages of pregnancy until childbirth, and mobility difficulties are caused by pregnancy. In order to alleviate the inconveniences experienced by pregnant women in their daily lives, priority seats for pregnant women are provided in subway cars nationwide, and priority seats for pregnant women are also being installed on city buses. However, it is difficult to recognize early-stage pregnant women whose bellies are not yet visible, and it is also difficult for pregnant women to initiate conversation and ask for a seat when boarding subways or buses. Furthermore, as regular passengers often occupy these priority seats and do not yield them even when aware of the pregnancy, it is reported that only slightly more than half of all pregnant women actually use the priority seats. In addition, since priority seats for pregnant women are usually installed next to the priority seats for the elderly and infirm, it is reported that there are instances where pregnant women who were unable to sit in the priority seats end up sitting there and are asked by the elderly to give up their seats. The Ministry of Health and Welfare is distributing bag clips and card wallets with pregnant women's priority emblems attached so that pregnant women in the early stages can also receive consideration, but it is said that there is a problem with the effectiveness of this measure because not many people recognize them and give up their seats for pregnant women even when they are wearing them. To address these issues, various technologies are being developed to encourage the general public to yield priority seats for pregnant women. Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2263208 describes a "Pregnant Woman Seat Consideration System" that includes a human seating recognition sensor installed on the pregnant woman's seat in the subway, a pregnant woman signal receiver installed on the side of the seat, a control unit that determines the pregnant woman's presence by receiving seating and pregnant woman signals, and a user terminal (mobile phone) equipped with a dedicated application that receives a control signal from the control unit and transmits the pregnant woman signal to the pregnant woman signal receiver. Furthermore, the system is equipped with an alarm unit that broadcasts a yielding announcement if the control unit determines that a general person is sitting in the pregnant woman's seat. However, this technology has several drawbacks: it is costly due to the large number of required components; it entails the inconvenience of pregnant women having to install the application on the receiver and make a reservation before boarding the subway; it is difficult to distinguish between pregnant women who do not have a user terminal with the application installed or who are sitting in the priority seat without a reservation, raising concerns about potential conflicts among pregnant women; and it is not feasible to force all pregnant women to possess a user terminal with the application installed or to make a reservation in order to prevent such conflicts.
