Abstract In the recent past, there has been cases of carbon dioxide leak related incidents and casualties. Carbon dioxide has been recognized as a significant worthy hazard in the industrial environment for about 100 years. low concentrations of carbon dioxide are not harmful, but on a high concentration can affect the respiratory function and the central nervous system. This prompted the development of this carbon dioxide gas leakage detection system as a safety measure to reduce this risk. This carbon dioxide gas leakage detection is developed with an Arduino microcontroller and an MQ-135 sensor for a highly accurate and fast response system. The detection system incorporates an LCD Screen for displaying the status and level of concentration of the gas leakage, a buzzer as an alarm to give audio alerts, indicating and alerting users on the gas leakage, a number of LED lights to indicate the gas leakage status. The system also incorporates a GSM Module which sends SMS alerts and make calls to users during the gas leakage regardless distance. The Arduino microcontroller is programmed using embedded C++ language and all the peripherals connected to it through its pins. When the detector is in normal state, the LED light is lit on Green to show a normal range in concentration of gases and/or absence of a gas leakage. When there is gas leakage, the system transitions into a harmful state. The system displays the status of the gas leakage on the LCD Screen just as other LED lights light up in conjunction with an alarm buzz giving an audiovisual alarm to the monitoring mobile device. Also, the GSM Module sends out SMS alerts and calls to designated users regardless of their distance from the gas leak vicinity to notify them of the gas leak in order to take immediate action to control the gas leakage situation. The gas leakage detection is not only highly accurate but cheap and portable and can be used for industrial and domestic safety.

Meruya Selatan No. 1, Jakarta Barat.  Email : [email protected] the need for efficient transportation is very important for modern human life. Various types of studies continue to be carried out to support the implementation of the use of Gas Fuel (CNG), to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The use of BBG is considered more efficient and environmentally friendly than using fuel oil (BBM). However, thus, the use of CNG can hurt a negative impact on human safety and even cause considerable losses if it is not used carefully, especially if there is no known leakage from the tube and cause a fire to the vehicle. CNG gas that has a leak does smell so normal leakage is easily detected. However, if the leaky gas seeps into the engine, and the bottom of the bus or under the carpet, it will be difficult to detect. CNG gas is famous for its flammability so that the leakage of CNG equipment is at high risk of fire. Based on this description, the need for an early gas leak detection device using a microcontroller can monitor the presence of gas leaks in vehicles that can be observed directly through the LED screen in the form of a warning that can be placed on the cabin dashboard. From the above problems, the authors are interested in making a study by creating an innovation tool called GLEDS (Gas Leakage Early Detection System) in Microcontroller-Based Motorized Vehicles. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of the design of the gas cylinder position in motorized vehicles and design the manufacture and GLEDS tool to detect gas leaks in motorized vehicles. Based on the whole system starting from the design and manufacture of GLEDS tools The conclusion is that the GLEDS gas leak detector can work well, this is indicated by the functioning of the tool when given butane gas. The buzzer sounds, the green LED lights up and displays graphical data on Android. Next, the sensor will detect a leak in the gas cylinder, if near the gas cylinder regulator there is really a butane gas content at a concentration of 280 ppm which then increases to 400 ppm. At a concentration of 300 ppm, the tool works well, with active buzzer alarms and LED lights. This GLEDS tool can be placed in the trunk of a car, close to gas cylinders of LNG four-wheeled motorized vehicles. Keywords: Gas Leak Detection, GLEDS, Arduino Uno, Microcontroller

The aim of this paper is to design Automated Unified Trolley System for LPG leakage detection with safety measures and Refill booking. This system will detect leakage of LPG and implement security against gas leak such as it will switch off the main power supply. It also switch on the exhaust fan automatically to decrease the gas concentration in air. This system will also help customer to regular update about weight of cylinder. So they are being not cheated by gas agency by providing less amount of gas. Also it is helpful to know about the status of gas. If gas in the cylinder is about threshold value, the system will immediately register gas booking through GSM technology by sending SMS to the distributor company and also send an alert to user at same time. By implementing this, the LPG provider can reduce the delivery delay time and helps to improve customer support service in transparent manner.

Gas is one of the needs that is widely used by the community. The use of gas is very much beneficial, for example, such as the use of gas in households and the use of gas in business or industry. However, there are things we must pay attention to when using gas in terms of safety. Because gas is volatile and there is a possibility of gas leakage which can cause a fire hazard. Therefore to reduce the impact of hazards that can be caused due to gas leakage, a gas leak detection device needs to be made using the MQ5 sensor and the status of the hazard level will be displayed through the android application. So that the existence of this tool will make it easier for users to know the level of gas levels and the level of danger of gas leaks. In this system there are 3 (three) levels of danger, namely safe, normal, and dangerous. If the gas level is high and in danger status, the system will provide information on the android application in the form of gas levels, danger levels and alarms. The use of Fuzzy methods in this system can be applied to explore knowledge and decision making, so that the Fuzzy method is applied to be expected to help in calculating the level of danger of gas leakage effectively and safely to use. In designing this system, the author uses the Fuzzy algorithm with the Mamdani method so that it can facilitate obtaining maximum results in determining the level of danger. From the resulting output can be information about the dangers of gas leakage.

The presence of hazardous LPG gas leakage in a domestic, work place, also, stored gases container gas which exhibits ideal characteristic is use. For that sake, an alarm unit is used to vibrate an alarm which is buzzer. Buzzer gives an audible sign of the presence of LPG volume. The sensors are widely used to detect essence of propane, iso-butane, LPG and even smoke. The sensor has an advantage to combine a sensitivity response time. If the LPG sensor senses gas leak from work place or home, sensor output goes to active low (logic-0) condition. Arduino UNO is used in the project; low signals are overlooked by the Arduino and gas leakage is been noticed by the Arduino. The Arduino UNO turns on the LCD and buzzer. It even turns on the GSM modem after that, it continues to send messages SMS to mobile number specifically mentioned in the program of the source code for alerting danger to the people.
