Abstract
The worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has created opportunities in the public health and safety sector along with a demand for solutions that address the public health issues that have been exposed. The need to create safe environments for the public has drastically increased over the past year and a half. One identified need has been for systems that provide for constant temperature checks for individuals prior to entering federal and public buildings. This paper discusses the design of an Automated Door System with Thermal Scan that was developed as part of a Senior Capstone Design Projects course at ________ ________ University. The design of the Automated Door System with Thermal Scan was tested to verify the functionality of the design, and most of the objectives for the design project were met. However, this is an ongoing project and recommendations for further research and development work will be documented. Some specific recommendations for future work include more rigorous testing in different outdoor environments, designing a housing unit to house the components to create a more controlled environment for the system, and testing the performance at different distances with the thermal scanner.
