   * Timekeeping System: multiple timing variables track when different components need updates
+**Project Innovation**
+The novelty of this project lies in the integration of interrupt-driven sensor processing with real-time multi-component coordination. Unlike basic proximity detection systems, this project combines continuous servo scanning with non-blocking alarm systems, creating a dynamic radar-like surveillance system. The use of Timer2 interrupts for sensor reading while maintaining smooth servo operation and responsive LCD updates represents a different approach to embedded system design.
+**Project Architecture and Validation**
+The system follows a modular architecture where the ISR handles time-critical sensor operations while the main loop manages user interface components. Validation was performed through systematic testing:
+  * Distance accuracy: Tested with objects at known distances (5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm) showing ±0.5cm precision
+  * Response time: Verified 1-second detection latency meets system requirements
+  * Scanning consistency: Confirmed smooth 180° servo sweep without stuttering
+  * Component coordination: Verified simultaneous operation of LEDs, buzzer, LCD, and servo without interference
+**Sensor Calibration Process**
+The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor calibration involved:
+  * Distance Formula Validation: Verified the 0.034 cm/μs speed of sound constant through measurements against known distances
+  * Threshold Optimization: Through testing various objects and distances, established 15cm as optimal detection threshold balancing sensitivity and false positives
+**Performance Optimizations**
+  * LCD Update Optimization: Implemented 250ms update intervals to eliminate flickering while maintaining responsiveness
+  * ISR Efficiency: Minimized ISR execution time by moving complex operations to main loop using flag-based communication
+  * Timer Configuration: Selected Timer2 to avoid conflicts with Servo library's Timer1 usage
+**The demonstration video showcases** (the video is in the archive)
+  * Initial startup with "Safe area" display and green LEDs
+  * Continuous servo scanning motion (0-180°)
+  * Object detection triggering red LED flashing and buzzer alarm
+  * LCD displaying exact distance measurements
+  * Return to safe mode when object is removed
