Engineering Introduction Electrical and Electronic Engineering Engineering Aerospace Engineering Electronic Engineering Mechanical Engineering Embedded intelligence is now in products ranging from cars to domestic appliances. Industry forecasters predict massive growth and estimate the service robotics market to increase to an annual $66 billion by 2025. As a result, demand for graduates with the technical and creative ability to work in this area is set to increase. Industry in Bristol Bristol is one of Europe’s main aerospace hubs and the largest robotics laboratory in the UK is on our campus. Motorsport Engineering Robotics
Rohan Eden Beng Robotics Project Supervisor Mathew Studley Automatic Indicator Glove Accessory Introduction Cycling is an effective mode of transportation, and one that has been increasing over the last 15+ years, where around 43% of the population of the UK own a bicycle. A study revealed, based on reported cases, that around 19 thousand cyclists have been injured and/or killed, where 3 thousand of these cases included reports of serious injuries, and deaths. After analysing the data, the same study revealed that 2 to 3 thousand of these reported incidents occurred of a night time, at or near a road junction. Current methods of increasing visibility includes, but is not limited to, High visibility jackets, front and rear lights, and reflectors. However, not every cyclist wear gloves with high visibility. A product is already available on the market, which includes a simple light embedded in a pair of gloves. These gloves can be activated by pressing a button on the glove that is to be used to notify and indication. This does increase a cyclists visibility when indicating, but adds the requirement of pressing a button, which is not always possible with one hand. No attempt has been made in creating a simple system that would automatically activate the light when the user begins indicating. This Investigation implements an autonomous system to turn on a flashing light when the user begins indicating. The investigation began with a simple mechanism, which was used to determine the feasibility, and functionality of the design implemented. After which additional activation mechanisms were designed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Introducing an automatic element within the product, allows the user to indicate without having to draw their attention away from the road, even for a split second. The Device Test Results When Testing the device, it failed on half of the tests. The test were as follows: Flash rate test Distance Test Brightness Test Power Test The Device wast test using a 500mAh battery at 4.8 Volts. It failed the flash rate test by flashing at rate that was determined to be too slow. The test was carried out by asking 25 members of the public to rate the flash on a scale of 1 to 9, 1 being too slow, and 9 being too fast. It also failed the Brightness test. The light was deemed too bright, and could potential become more hazardous than safe. 100 members of the public rated the device on a scale of 1 to 9, 1 being too dim, and 9 being too bright. However for the Distance test, the device was visible from a distance that is greater than the stopping distance of a car travelling at 30 mph. This test was carried out of 5 individuals, who has to decide whether the light on the device was visible from 10 metres to 50 metres in incrementing values of 10. The power test determined that the device was able to operate within the stated requirements. Project summary An investigation has been achieved to design and develop a product capable of increasing a cyclist's visibility in low light situations. A simple Indicator attached to the cyclists wrist/back hand/glove has been developed and prototyped, and the feasibility of the final product had been investigated. This Indicator was designed with autonomy in mind, and worked efficiently and effectively. With further development, and improvements, such as the ideas drawn up, this product could be made available at a reasonable price, without removing from the cycling experience. Project Objectives 3. Aims of the Investigation The main aim, is to develop a working prototype that is capable of reliably alerting motorists of an indicating cyclist in low light situations, while still being affordable for all cyclists. Sub-aims: Study the anthropometrics of the human hand Design the housing for the electronics Manufacturing processes for each stage of development Investigate all possible implementations for the product Project Conclusion To conclude the investigation, the device was only 50% effective, and is not ready for purchase in it's current state. A number of elements were not investigated, or tested. If this device was being developed and produced by a company, this would be the first prototype to confirm proof of concept.
