Initial Plan (Final Project)
My Final Project is about device to detect car approaching in curvy roads with what speed and at what distance, I found that device like that would perfectly suit in mountainous country like ours. And below is the rough sketch that I have prepared give some basic insights about its function and working principle. Also, some bullet points as instructed by Mr.Rico:
2D and 3D Modeling
This is 2D sketches from fusion360 and it can be modified as we progress through the course. Also Inkscape can be used to design logo and other aspects of 2D design.
This is 3D model of my final project and it is base casing or housing of car detection device which is yet to optimize by attaching buzzer box, conduit for wiring etc.
Why this project?
This project mainly aims at solving accident/collision problems faced by drivers in Bhutan. This is because the Bhutan is a mountainous country and the roads are narrow and curvy which poses risk of collision between the approaching cars. Therefore, with this detection device, drivers can read or analyze the velocity of approaching car and control accordingly to avoid collision. Accidents do not necessarily happen only when you are reckless, but it can occur when others are.""
Recommendations on my Project
On 3rd week my name got called in random generator which is coordinated by Professor Neil on a global class session. Upon reviewing my project idea, Professor and other tutors gave me some recommendations. To fully materialize my project it appeared very difficult for me as a newbie to programming and electronics. Therefore, I searched through online project ideas which was simple(but effective) and compatible for this Fab Academy course. Then I came up with another idea to make things easier in our daily life.
