The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected everyone to an unprecedented shift in the way of their everyday life in which fundamental social and work etiquette evolved with taking extra safety measures to contain the virus. A new normal has been introduced to prevent the virus's further spread, such as wearing a mask, observing proper hand hygiene, and most importantly, physical distancing by staying 6 feet away from others. Public bathrooms are inevitable to long lines that would be deemed unsafe in the pandemic since a person's exposure time is a significant factor with the transmission. The system design in this study would help improve user experience in public restrooms by eliminating long waiting lines caused by poor communication on a cubicle's vacancy status. With utilizing the technology of IoT (Internet of Things), the public would be able to use restrooms with ease without worrying about long queues. It would also help reduce interaction with other people, which is functional in the ongoing pandemic and could also promote a safe way of using public restrooms by encouraging the public to observe social distancing.
