Unhygienic conditions in public restrooms are frequently caused by things like unclean user behavior, insufficient cleaning procedures, and the limits of manual cleaning equipment. Skin infections, hepatitis, and diarrhea can all spread as a result of poor hygiene, which can also host dangerous germs and viruses. In addition, bad smells and unsightly surroundings might discourage individuals from using public restrooms, which can harm one's health and well-being as well as increase public health issues and decrease the use of public areas. These unsanitary circumstances are a major worldwide issue that needs creative solutions. Infrared sensors are used by the automated toilet system to detect user activity. Servo motors open the lid automatically when something enters. Hot air dryers use extra sensors to activate after use, drying the person and the toilet bowl at the same time. The lid shuts as the user leaves, and UV light disinfection starts inside the bowl to get rid of bacteria and smells. Features like extra flushes, air freshener dispensers, and emergency assistance are controlled by an intuitive interface with touchless buttons or voice commands. The system as a whole runs smoothly and ensures a clean and comfortable user experience. There is yet more innovation, though. To enhance accessibility and convenience of use, the system integrates a touchless interface that is easy to use for emergency assistance, flushing, and other functions. Long-term functionality and uncomplicated upkeep are guaranteed by sturdy, easily-cleanable materials. Extensive testing will quantify bacterial and viral reductions, offering verifiable proof of its efficacy in reducing health hazards. There will be improvements in public health, user experiences, and overall well-being. With the help of this creative idea, everyone may look forward to a cleaner, healthier future free from filth and unhygienic conditions.
