Deciding to tackle the project as a group, me and my group mate decided to go in the direction of an electrical based project and had come up with 6 ideas which are as follows:
- Vehicle reverse alarm system (for gates)
- Vehicle reverse braking system (for gates)
- Universal adaptive spoiler
- GPS controlled speed limiter
- Smartphone activated/controlled windscreen heater
- Lane departure system
I felt that 2 of the ideas (smartphone controlled windscreen heater and the adaptive spoiler) were more of products that act as accessories/auxiliary systems. Meanwhile the remaining 4 did address current problems found in New Zealand. The reversing systems does help address the problem of deaths/injuries due to vehicle reverses. Meanwhile the GPS controlled speed limiter does address public speeding problems. Lastly, the lane departure system can help address the frequent problem of drivers drifting off their lanes. We will split the 6 ideas and will research further to see what has been done so far and what we can do differently to innovate.
We should have a much more clearer shortlist as to what we will tackle, develop and build this semester.
