Kibirige David, Makumbi David, Namulawa Haawa, Kanyana Ruth, Kasango Ramadhan, Kemigisha Priscilla, Tusabe Martha Abstract: Existing school dormitory safety technologies in Ugandan schools have not caught up with the reality of today's school dormitory and hostel buildings and way of living. This paper focuses on building an automatic school dormitory safety monitoring system that integrates three capabilities, namely, detection, communication, and suppression. It seeks to address the salient issue of real-time communication in the face of an unpredictable daily routine and first-line suppression moves at the onset of a fire outbreak that most advanced fire detection systems in schools today have failed to address. The implemented system uses an Atmega328p microcontroller unit, which is interfaced with fire detection, overload detection, and flammable gas detection sensors for monitoring purposes, for real-time communication with concerned personnel, the system uses the Global System for Mobile Communication modem to co-ordinate the operation of a network of radio frequency transmission.
