Project Summary

Multipurpose Urban Sensing Equipment

A multipurpose Urban Sensing Equipment is based on an object that has multiple purposes that include something that senses something in order to improve or make people aware of something in their enviroment. In the end the object/concept should improve the quality of life, the city and her inviroment, this could be on long term but also right at that moment. To give an example of something that already exist but is in our line of search: * Speed signs that indicate if people drive to fast by showing a red (sad) smiley or a green (happy) smiley when people are under/at the speed limit. The whole point about this object is that is makes people think about the consequenses when they see the sign and probably slow down a bit in order to maintain the law and rules that are invented for traffic situations.

Team 3 has the opportunity to improve peoples lives by making something that maybe improves the feeling of security or even makes people interact with eachother. The area is so wide that the team came up with different focuspoints and areas to make sure we look for similiar ideas and come up with something that the team all finds interesting working on.

All team members are doing a semester abroad which makes it really interesting to combine different cultures and studies together. Apart from combining all strengths we also get trained in several different courses that are related on the 'engineering' subjects that we choose. The different classes that improve our knowledge on doing the project are: * Sunstainability & * Project Management * Marketing & Communication * Teambuilding * Portuguese (Teambuilding and adapting to a new culture)

- 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 team 3 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) - Interaction/meeting people (nowadays everyone is on their phone to stay connected, maybe come up with something

      that gives people the chance to interact and maybe even meet new people)

Problem that could be improved (area: -)

Solution

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. In a company you would always work together with different expertices to get the best results, this is the same for Team 3. We all will combine our specialities in different studies and subjects to gain knowledge from eachother and also get the best result according to the project.

The different studies that we do and an example of how to split the tasks:

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