Abstract

ACMS for Gated Communities\" is an Android application designed for housing colonies, gated communities, and apartment complexes to streamline and automate their daily activities, creating an ideal and optimal living environment. The key advantage is that it can be customized to match the individual demands of many communities, resulting in a flexible and scalable solution. This app allows residents to quickly manage deliveries, book facilities, and contact with management. Gated communities have become a popular residential option around the world, offering homeowners with a safe and private living environment. The varying needs and expectations of residents are usually too much for traditional management techniques to handle, which calls for innovative and revolutionary solutions. ACMS for gated communities blend technology, security, and convenience to provide a comprehensive solution for managing transportation and access within these residential areas. Future advancements in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) integration, and autonomous vehicle management are expected to further enhance the capabilities of these systems. ACMS enhances security and streamlines entry and exit processes by utilizing automated gate systems, visitor management protocols, and integrated surveillance. This abstract examines the idea of Advanced Community Management Systems (ACMS) for gated communities, which utilize modern technology and dynamic methods to improve community administration and increase resident satisfaction.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

ACMS for Gated Communities is a mobile application created for 'Housing colonies', 'Gated communities', or 'Flats' to keep their colonies idle by automating their daily tasks. The primary benefit of using this application is that common notifications and news services will make it easier for all members to be aware of crucial notifications. It is faster and more reliable. This application allows the resident to register in this system. They can browse all news, notifications, and facilities and book a service they require through the application, which lowers the  need to make phone calls for service requests. By incorporating data analytics and real-time monitoring. ACMS provides a proactive approach to addressing the needs and concerns of residents, ensuring a responsive and adaptive management structure.

A. Problem Statement

Due to the hectic lifestyle of today, it can be difficult to find time to walk outside and complete our task alone. Tracking services that residents have requested is difficult. Notifying each tenant individually of any notifications or past-due bills on a regular basis. The project intends to deploy intelligent and automated technologies to guarantee pedestrian safety, control vehicular flow, and enhance traffic management operations. The Advanced Community Management System (ACMS) for Gated Communities is a cutting-edge program designed to enhance the general efficacy, safety, and security of traffic flow in gated residential communities.

Advance Community Management System (ACMS) for Gated Communities is a cutting-edge program designed to enhance the general efficacy, safety, and security of traffic flow in gated residential communities.

B. Proposed Solution

Giving the inhabitants easy access to services will be beneficial. Residents should not keep calling the caretaker or suppliers to resolve issues; instead, they should raise a service request and the caretaker will handle it. Rather than calling each person individually, the caretaker can push a notification from the caretaker module to everyone in the building or apartment if they need to notify or tell them of anything. The resident will be able to view this notification on their home page or on a different notification tab.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

Developing a Smart Gated Community System to Improve Management and Security A work titled "Design of a Smart Gated Community System for Enhanced Security and Management" was presented by Veena S. Kumar and colleagues at the IEEE 3rd International Conference on Recent Trends in Electronics, Information Communication Technology (2018). To enhance security and management, this study offers a revolutionary concept for an intelligent system specifically suited to gated communities. In order to successfully meet the particular needs of gated communities, the suggested design calls for the seamless integration of access control systems, surveillance cameras, and automated management solutions. The system's goal is to improve security and simplify community management procedures for the advantage of administrators and residents by merging these components.

Smart Apartments: A Technology for Internet of Things-Based Automated Energy dwelling structures in a study titled "Smart Apartments," Mr. Cristiano Tapparello released. IEEE Communications' 2017 International Conference on "Controlling in Residential Buildings" In this study, we present a novel smart apartment system that makes use of the internet of things (IoT) in residential buildings to enable more intelligent energy management. The study explores how various sensors, actuators, and state-of-the-art energy management strategies can be seamlessly integrated with one another to optimize energy use in a highly efficient way. Through the utilization of these technologies, the system aims to improve sustainability and energy efficiency in residential environments, making a positive impact on the environment and economy in the long run.  An Organized Review of the Literature on the Difficulties in Android App Development A study titled "A Systematic Literature Review on Challenges in Android App Development" was released by Mr. Mika V. Ma¨ntyla. In this study, we undertake a thorough literature analysis to investigate the difficulties faced as Android applications have evolved. In order to provide useful insights on how to effectively address these difficulties, our study uses a systematic technique to identify and categorize them. Through a critical analysis of current research, we enhance our understanding of the challenges encountered by developers in the Android app development domain and provide practical recommendations to address these challenges successfully.

III. METHODOLOGY

It has four main modules: Residents, Estate Manager, Vendor, and Gate Security. Authentication is used for user registration and login, and there are buttons to direct the user to a specific module and recycle view to view complaints in the form of lists after logging in, by clicking, will provide additional details about the tickets, allowing users to respond appropriately.

1. Residents Module: Individuals are those who register with the app, use it to track complaints, pay their bills, and receive notifications. The Service Request feature allows residents to file a ticket with the app about any problems that need to be fixed in their homes or if they require any residential services. The caretaker will be assigned those tickets and forward them to the appropriate vendor based on the resident's requirements. The vendor thereafter receives the requests that the caretaker transmitted, accepts them, and gets to work. Once the job is completed, it is returned to the residents, who can review, close, or reopen the request based on their satisfaction. The ability to track service requests informs both the caregiver and the resident of the status of their requests.
2. Estate Manager Module: It is necessary for the Estate Manager to register and use their personal information to log in to the program. They are able to authorize residents' and suppliers' registrations. In addition, all resident complaints will be received by the estate manager, who will then transmit them to the appropriate suppliers. The Estate Manager now has a duty to monitor the complaint tickets and make sure that the concerns that have been reported are promptly resolved. Furthermore, the Estate Manager's duties go beyond handling complaints and registration. They play a crucial role in preserving the residential community's general functionality and wellbeing. This entails supervising and controlling a number of crucial activities, including facility management, property upkeep, and security protocols.
3. Vendor Module: Vendors must use their company information to register or log in. The vendor will accept concerns in the form of tickets, visit the consumer to resolve the issue, and rectify it. Vendor logs in first. Following successful login, the vendor is taken to the home page where they can see a list of service requests. By selecting one, the vendor can acknowledge the request and update the ticket's status. Vendors can schedule service appointments through the system, which are then tracked in real-time. Vendors can submit invoices through the portal, and the system ensures timely processing and payment, reducing administrative overhead.
4. Gate Security Module: Security must use their personal information to register or log in. Residents and security guards use this to add visitors who are visiting. The visitors list goes to the guards, who check it, confirm the visitor, and send them in, which cuts down on the work of calling the residents repeatedly. Security receives the visitors list added by the user so they can let them in without any hassle. The Gated Security Module in ACMS.

ACMS represents a significant advancement in community security management, providing a comprehensive and technologically advanced solution to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. By integrating modern technology and innovative security practices, this module fosters a secure and harmonious living environment in gated communities.

After clicking on the bills tab from the home page, residents will be redirected to the above page, where they can view all of their pending bills that Estate Manager uploaded. By clicking on that specific bill, residents can view additional information about the bill and click on the pay button, which will redirect residents to Google Pay to make the payment. The dedicated application for gate security where the list of visitors will be displayed uploaded by the residents and upon clicking on the visitors list, the gate security will verify, authorize, and allow them within.

Conclusion

The software puts services right at the residents\' fingertips. Because the app has the ability to track service requests, it lessens the stress associated with residents calling repeatedly to follow up on the problem. The application facilitates notifications to the entire building or apartment, and it allows the estate manager to monitor and respond to all resident-initiated service requests. Residents will be able to view this notification on a separate notification tab or on their home page.
