Abstract
Gas leakage is a major problem with industrial
sector, residential premises and gas powered vehicles like CNG
(compressed natural gas) buses, cars. One of the preventive
methods to stop accident associated with the gas leakage is to
install gas leakage detection kit at vulnerable places. The aim of
this paper is to present such a design that can automatically
detect and stop gas leakage in vulnerable premises. In particular
gas sensor has been used which has high sensitivity for propane
(C3H8) and butane (C4H10). Gas leakage system consists of GSM
(Global System for mobile communications) module, which
warns by sending SMS. However, the former gas leakage system
cannot react in time. This paper provides the design approach on
both software and hardware.
