Web Portal

Web Portal
Abstract:
You can design a web portal. Main Functionalities of a Web Portal are
User / Member Registration:
For Web Portals or normal websites this is a necessary feature. We should give on line membership registration facilities. Some mandatory data need to collect are “First Name,Last Name,email ID,password ,Confirm password etc
Web based Booking Engine:
You can make a generic booking engine which can book the tickets for different items like Hotel Rooms,Tour Plans,Tour Packages,Activities,Film shows / Movies,Books etc. So your members or anonymous users can book these items. The money transaction will be happening through credit cards. To achieve this functionality you need to have a payment gate way interface .Payment gate way is nothing but a secure interface through which credit card transaction is possible. “Asia Pay”,”Bank of China Payment gate way”,”Pay Pal”,”HDFC Payment gateway” are examples. If you can Print a bar code on tickets that would also be nice.For barcode interface i would suggest “Aspose”.You can download a free dll from there site and you can use it. They will provide the sample codes also.
Change Password / Forgot(Reset) Password :
You should need to include this functionality also to the web portal.You
Free SMS Provision:
If you can give some provision to send free sms etc to your users. That will increase your site's popularity. Some websites like indyarocks.com are offering that provision .you can check that also.
Technologies:
Front End:ASP.NET 3.5 -Scalability would be more. You can use PHP ,Java etc too
Back End:SQL Server 2005,Or Oracle,MySQL etc .According to your expertise

RFID Based Automatic Authentication for Organizations

RFID can be used to provide an easy and efficient way to authenticate people working in an organization. Authentication is necessary to restrict access to data stored in computers. Information stored in a bank’s database contains crucial data about consumers and the bank’s functioning. These data need to be kept securely. Unauthorized access to such information can’t be allowed. As a consequence authentication of personnel having access to such information is necessary.

Presently passwords are used for authentication. In case a person leaves after she has logged in using a password, any unscrupulous person can get access to the data and be in a position to change it. In situations where the passwords have been forgotten or have been changed the access to data is denied causing disruption in work. This can be detrimental to the running of the bank. Since authentication using passwords involves limitations related to human behavior there is a need for a better method for the same. Here is where RFID comes into play.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. An RFID tag is a small object, such as an adhesive sticker, that can be attached to or incorporated into a product. RFID tags contain antennae to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. In the proposed system authentication of workers will be done with the help of RFID tag provided to them, which will uniquely identify them and give access to information meant only for them. This is an economical alternative to the present system, which will have additional features like

• performance monitoring

• automatic attendance system

• providing mobility of data

• improved ATM service.

There is a centralized database having all the information. Readers will be positioned at appropriate places. Only with the tag can a person get access to her domain of information. There will be different levels of privileges for different people ranging from the customer to the manager of the bank.

Smoke Sensor Using Micro Controller

You can easily make Smoke Sensor Using Micro Controller.You need a micro controller one smoke sensor and an alarm set up for this.smoke sensor should sent a signal to the micro controller and micro controller can trigger a alarm.

Project Ieas Related to GPS

GPS-Global Positioning System is very popular nowadays.GPS receivers are now present in mobile phones also.So its very good if you can think about a project which uses this concept.

You can make track the movement of a particular object using GPS.(Only thing is that the object should associated with a GPS receiver.Gps technology was developed by NASA.Its accuracy is really great

Biometric Attendance and Tracking system

Its Very good to have a Biometric Attendance and Tracking system in many offices were security is also a concern.som biometric identification methods are finger prints,iris Scan,retina scan...The difficult part is making the interface for this.This is just an idea.You may build this more...

Lecture threatre or hall monitor system

The project is about a lecture threatre monitor system .when a lecture enters the lecture threatre he presses a button that set an electronic circiut device into action after about 10 min the two to entrances into the lecture threatre automatically closes due to a dc motor attached to it controlled by the circuit.the device is connected to a passive infra-red device that checks for the number of students attending the lecture i will like ideas on possible modification n possible lapses in the project

Railway control ststem using microprocessor

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the incorporation of computer method in railway traffic control to improve, safety, speed of handling the traffic and reliability. Here we employ the microprocessor (Intel 8085) to handle the signaling, track changing and gate operation and to monitoring the traffic. The system starts with the tracking if the train is sensed at the station side or starts with the gate operation (i.e. gate closing and opening) along with the track changing if the train is sensed at the gate side. Once the train arrival is sensed at a distance of about 3 kms the microprocessor performs the gate operation along with the track changing, the identification of the train is done at a distance of 3 kms accordingly the particular operation is performed by the processor.Depending upon the priority of the incoming train, the unengaged track is given for train halting.

Embedded sensor networks

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is made of numerous small independent sensor nodes, which consist of a battery, radio, sensors, and a minimal amount of onboard computing power and has wireless communication capabilities among sensor nodes. Application of sensor nodes is quite common in the field of Agricultural monitoring (for climate sensitive crops), structural monitoring etc. However object detection, classification and tracking using WSN is more challenging and involves sensing and recognizing an object that enters the network area by collecting signals (acoustic, magnetic etc.) and processing them not only in real time but also involving restricted power consumption constraints. The real time applications include vehicle tracking, inventory tracking inside factories, military tracking and identification of hostile intrusion vehicles, and automatic tollgate collection based on two wheelers or four wheelers.

Sensor nodes are distributead in an optimized pattern and by taking in to account the limited power sources of sensor nodes, the tracking of object or target with random movement patterns is done by an energy efficient tracking algorithm, called selective activation combined with prediction. Audio signals are used to detect and classify the objects among the known classes. Specific parameters called feature vectors are calculated from the sampled audio signals for various objects and are used to train the classifier for classifying the object to its class. The selection of appropriate classifier and feature vectors proved to be very significant for achieving high accuracy percentage in classification. Thus a highly customized version of classifier and tracking algorithm specifically suitable for WSN is achieved.

The proposed classification and tracking algorithm is implemented in matlab considering vehicles (Light and Heavy Vehicles) as targets and audio signal as signal source. The classification of the target is done along predictive tracking and the energy consumed per unit time in the sensor network is calculated. The overall response of the classifier for varied signals is also tested and accuracy percentages were determined. Thus the project forms a complete solution for implementation of intrusion detection, identification and tracking of targets using wireless sensor network technology.
