Development Of A Non-Intrusive RFID Elevator Access Control System For Residential Buildings

Parade Parsaulian Purba, Vivin Octowinandi, Prasaja Wikanta, Muhammad Arifin
Abstract: This study developed and evaluated a standalone, non-intrusive radio frequency identification (RFID)-based elevator access control system for a four-story residential building. The system used an Arduino Uno, an MFRC522… RFID reader, and relay interfaces to regulate access to Floors 2, 3, and 4. Authorized card identifiers and floor permissions were stored locally, enabling offline operation without an external database or network connection. The relays interfaced only with the elevator push-button circuits and did not modify the original controller, motor drive, door mechanism, or safety system. Performance was evaluated using 47 registered cards and three unregistered cards, with each card tested 50 times, producing 2,500 authentication trials. Under the tested conditions, all registered cards were correctly authenticated according to their assigned floor permissions, while all unregistered cards were rejected. The system achieved 100% authentication accuracy, 100% correct relay activation, and 100% unauthorized-card rejection. Stable card detection was obtained at distances of up to approximately 1 cm. The first-floor button remained independent of the RFID module to preserve minimum accessibility during module failure. The proposed system provides a practical and low-cost retrofit solution for floor-specific elevator access control in small residential buildings.

Innovation in Designing a 500 kg Capacity Passenger Elevator in a Multi-Storey Building: A Study at Suzuya

Samuel Haris Purba
Abstract: This study aims to analyze and design the working system of a passenger elevator, including the working mechanism of the elevator, the design of the lifting system, the calculation of cage capacity, the design of power and… nd the selection of the main drive motor, the calculation of the main components, the design of the transmission, the calculation of maintenance costs, the selection of component materials, and the creation of technical drawings. The design results show that the specifications of the drive motor used have a power of 6.28 Hp with a rotation of 800 rpm, a lifting speed of 15 m/min, and a lifting capacity of 500 kg. The shaft components are designed using S45C carbon steel, with details of Shaft I with a diameter of 24 mm, Shaft II with a diameter of 41 mm, and Shaft III with a diameter of 41 mm. The gears consist of Gear I with a pitch circle diameter of 42 mm, a circle diameter of 37 mm, a head circle diameter of 46 mm, a width of 16 mm, and 21 teeth; Gear II with a pitch circle diameter of 210 mm, a circle diameter of 205 mm, a head circle diameter of 214 mm, a width of 16 mm, and 105 teeth; Gear III with a pitch circle diameter of 68 mm, a circle diameter of 63 mm, a head circle diameter of 108 mm, a width of 16 mm, and 34 teeth; and Gear IV with a pitch circle diameter of 270 mm, a circle diameter of 265.5 mm, a head circle diameter of 270 mm, a width of 16 mm, and 21 teeth. The drum used has a diameter of 253 mm, a weight of 100 kg, a length of 1073.79 mm, and a thickness of 16 mm.
