MYBCOT - Digital Contact Tracing for Carmexss Jeepney through Raspberry Pi

Abstract

During the closing months of 2019, a virus spread known as the Covid – 19. Different countries induced drastic actions to stop the virus, and one of the intervention methods is Contact Tracing. Covid-19 who wreaked havoc globally and made it difficult for governments to implement a reliable contact tracing system, and one of those countries is the Philippines. MYBCOT (MySQL BarCode Operating Temperature) Digital Contact Tracing is a study that aims to create digital contact tracing for Public Utility Jeepney (PUJ). The study is intended for Carmexss PUJ cooperative, a newly implemented transportation service in the province of Pampanga. The study consists of two major parts, the website, and the MYBCOT (MySQL BarCode Operating Temperature) device. The website aims to give access to all passengers for registration through the website and the generation of their ID with the passenger’s barcode in it, which will be scanned on the MYBCOT device. The MYBCOT device integrates Raspberry Pi 2B, MLX90614 thermal sensor, and a barcode scanner. Through these, the study aims to create a better tool for contact tracing method as an intervention for PUJs against Covid – 19 and future phenomena where contact tracing is needed.
