Unstructured Project
Integrated Real-World Project 2 Module in Ngee Ann Poly
IoT Safe Cycle
This project idea was to help cyclist to stay more alert and avoid collision during their nighttime ride on a shared pathway.
Brief Description
To avoid collision at night, have an LED at the start and end of the shared pathway so that it is more noticeable for cyclists, when they are approaching the pavement, another LED will light up to indicate presence of active cyclist in the shared pathway.
2 input sensors:
the ultrasonic and photoresistor sensor, will read data and process through the Arduino board and provide a logic high or low on the LED outputs.
The LDR detects the darkness of the environment. When it reaches a certain amount of darkness, it will light up one LED.
The Ultrasonic transmit sound waves and detects distances. If a cyclist is near the sensor, it will light up the other LED and blinks, indicating the presence of a user. This sensor will only work if the LDR detects darkness. Else it will not light up.
Leveraging software tools such as EAGLE and Tinkercad, I had design and planned my circuit before connecting my actual circuit. These applications offer a range of advantages, including the ability to simulate and visualize the behavior of circuits prior to the actual prototype stage. This simulation capability is particularly valuable for identifying and addressing potential issues, ensuring a more refined and optimized design.
