Logbook

This is your logbook. Insert here all relevant information regarding the evolution of your project

During the first week, we did presentation and a lot of team building to get to know eachother in multiple ways. We have to know eachothers backgrounds but also what kind of personalities we are dealing with because we have to do a project together. The first week was usefull to see what kind interest all team members have within the project.

On Thursday 22-02-2018 Team 3 received the list with the different subjects to choose from, from this moment we discussed the different subjects to see what the different points of view were according to those subjects. After we all shared our thoughts about the meaning of the titles of the subjects we individualy made a top 3 in subjects to brainstorm and rate the different subjects with the chosen top 3 to conclude a top 3 for the team.

Our top 3 in the subjects is: * Multi Purpose Urban Equipment * Vertical Farming * Smart Dog Poop Dispencer

Multipurpose Urban Sensing Equipment

Agenda 28-02-2018

- About: Improving life of the local/tourist people or focus on what is best for the environment - Focus points: Sustainability, Power saving and Efficiency

Areas where the group is looking into

- Smart garbage disposal - Air pollution (how to decrease the pollution) - Public transport (how to make it easier and reduce the waiting time) - Light up the city (street lights, power saving) - Green engineering (focus on the implementation of more green and sustainable)

Problem that could be improved (area: Public transport) Busses are not always on time, it may even occur that you’re exactly on time and the buss already left because it was too early.

Solution This problem could be prevented if every person that wants to use the public transportation could track where the bus is (the bus would be equipped with a GPS tracker for example). Also at the bus stops there could be a screen like at the metro that shows the time that it will take for the next bus to arrive (in minutes) Extra option: include a charger point at the bus stop to make sure people are always able to put on or keep their phone from dying out when they need the information of the travel schedule.

How can you we accomplish this project with multiple studies?

The project group exist of 5 persons with different backgrounds and studies, we will make sure that everyone in the team can be a part on this project.

Electric engineer – Arduino code writing and making sure the set up works for a concept. Mechanical Engineer – Assist the electric engineer and concept building + calculations Environmental Engineer – Sustainable energy (usage of solar panels for example) Engineering and Management – Bridge between the product and the market (Target audience) Industrial Product Design – From idea to concept (overview) Design of the product  

The first meeting on 28-02-2018 was very useful because the team found out while pitching the idea that it already existed. From this meeting we learned that we should really focus on finding a problem rather than thinkin to far ahead in concepts or even products. Also it's very important to do alot of desk research in order to see if there competitors on the market or the idea simply already exists. After the first meeting the team started straight away with idea development in order to find a problem that could improve the enviroment or directly peoples lives.

What do we need to realize a working product/concept?

- Arduino kit + accessories - Software for writing and developing codes with Arduino/Raspberry - Solar panel or any kind of resource for sustainable energy - Sockets & wiring - Casing of the product + LCD - (Extra option) Charging spot (casing + electric components needed)

Table of requirements:

During this week, we have discussing a lot concerning the project idea. As our first idea of a bus tracker was not validated, we have searching another subject. Doing a mix between team member's ideas, the team wants now to do a smart billboard collecting and sharing information about the weather and the pollution. The billboard also can advise people about different things like how to reduce their footprint or the different coming city activities.

During this week, we have done state of Art, Black Box diagram and Bête à corne. We have also done huge part in marketing, ethics and environmental studies. Lastly, we have improved the quality of our wiki report.

During the week the team have done:

1. built a board model for our project.
2. corrected our mistakes.
3. working on marketing section.
4. finished Ethical and Deontological Concerns section.
5. about to finish Eco-efficiency Measures for Sustainability.
6. done the elevator pitch.
