Problem Statement
• In UET Lahore, billing and security systems were
managed manually.
• In today’s world, due to advancement in technology
and automatic control, manual management systems
are not reliable.
• All manual systems should be replaced with automatic
systems.

Problem Statement
• Demerits of Manual Billing System
 Inefficient
 Unreliable
 Time consuming
 Laborious
 Possibility of error in calculation
 Increased demand of employees

Problem Statement
• Why security system is needed?
Due to increased security demands in our country, it is
required to keep check on every vehicle entering in the
campus so that any illegal or suspicious vehicle must not
enter the campus

Problem Statement
• Demerits of Manual Security System
 Inefficient
 Unreliable
 Need to employ many guards
 Not feasible to check every vehicle being entered
 Takes more effort to keep track of paper documents
 Difficult to find specific car’s information

Proposed Solution
• Our project smartly improves two existing systems
 Billing System
 Security System
• We have replaced these manual systems with fully
automatic systems

Billing System
• Billing system is automated using multi-featured
website and android application
• It improves the conventional way, the power utility
providers gather and handle billing data.
• Website is developed using Macromedia Dreamweaver
• PHP and JavaScript are used for back-end
programming of the website and HTML is used for
front-end

Billing System
• Meter reader enters the meter reading through an
android application, linked directly to the database
• Database contains the user’s personal information and
billing details.
• Website has the capability of calculating the bills,
generating PDFs and sending emails to the respective
users

Billing System
• Bill calculator calculates the bill
• Generated PDFs are then sent by an Email
• Emails can be generated individually by user himself or
collectively by the admin
• The user can view his current bill as well as previous
billing record on website

Billing System

Security System
• Security system works by sensing the presence of a car
in a vicinity of camera using proximity sensor
• Morphological image processing techniques are then
applied on the image of number plate which converts it
into binary form
• Then a network is trained using bagged tree classifier
to detect the characters of number plate.

Security System
• The car number hence obtained is compared with the
registration numbers stored in database, which shows
whether the car is registered or not.
• If the car is registered, then it is allowed to enter
• If the car is not registered, then driver of the car will
have go through further investigation

Applications
• System can be installed anywhere to automate the
security of that place
• It can be used to generate and send utility bills to users
by just one click
• It can be used to take meter reading via easy user
interface of android application
• It can be used to submit complaints to admin about
problems encountered by users

Audience
• Institutions or organizations
 That have their own residential colonies and don’t
have automatic billing system
 Who want to manage traffic in terms of access
control and detect the unauthorized vehicles

Marketing
• For marketing of our project, we have designed a
brochure that describes objectives, applications and
significance of our project
• Brochures can be distributed in different ways i.e. as
newspaper inserts, handed out personally, by mail or
placed in brochure racks in high traffic locations
• Social Media and E-Marketing can also be adopted to
attract the customers

What we have done so far?:
• So far, we have developed website to calculate
electricity bills of residents of UET colony
• Meter reading is entered through mobile app and bills
are calculated accurately
• Website then generates PDFs and emails are sent to the
residents
• This automatic electricity billing system is in testing
phase now

• Furthermore, we have tried to automate the security
system on entrance of UET through number plate
recognition via image processing.
• Camera records the real time video
• Sensor gives the output when vehicle is detected being
entered
• Image of vehicle is taken from the video

• Then, image processing is done which includes
detection of number plate area and extraction of
registration number of vehicle in a string.
• This registration number is compared with entries in the
database and hence authentication is achieved.
• So far, prototyping of this system is done and simulated
in MATLAB

Hardware Developed
• Hardware includes
 Camera
 Sensor
 Raspberry Pi3 microcontroller
 PC
 Android mobile phone
 Internet

Hardware Developed
• Security system
 Camera shoots the video
 Sensor senses the vehicle and image is captured
 Raspberry Pi3 is used to develop Standalone
application of our system
 Its takes output of sensor as its input and performs
image processing

Hardware Developed
 Internet is required for online comparison of
extracted number plate number with entries in
database
• Billing System
 Mobile phone is required for entering meter reading
through android application
 PC is required to manage/open website
 Internet access must be provided for website to work

Hardware Developed

Future Deliverables
• Initially, we have developed automatic billing system
for electricity bills of UET Colony
• In near future, it will also work for gas, telephone and
other utility bills of UET colony
• Furthermore, we will work to implement this system in
other institutions or organizations that have their own
residential colonies and still don’t have automatic
billing system

Future Deliverables
• As far as our security system is concerned, we have
done prototyping on MATLAB
• Now, we are converting the MATLAB code to Python
code to run this code on Raspberry Pi3 microcontroller
• This is expected to be completed in next two to three
weeks
