Only a few more days until our PDR! It\u2019s only been five weeks since the team formed and began work, but so much has happened it\u2019s hard to believe it hasn\u2019t even been two months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we narrowed our concepts eligible for prototyping down to three: a flexible clip-on device that can attach to either the helmet brim or vest collar, a wristband, and a bone-conduction headset (possibly an earpiece). Following the PDR, we\u2019ll start making 3D models in SolidWorks for 3D printing and configuring the Arduino kit to create a minimum viable product in time for the SDLR in December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also got the chance to speak with Team 6 more in depth about their approach to their half of the project and how we may integrate it. They\u2019re still in the midst of their concept generation, so there\u2019s still a lot to consider\u2014and subject to change\u2014as we plan how we\u2019re going to merge our components. It appears that this product would be used everywhere except freeways, and that we must consider that the length of a construction site may be up to a mile long. Because of this, we\u2019re now brainstorming how we might solve issues related to the Wi-Fi connection between their device and ours, and how we can ensure every worker receives the alert.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re thinking of implementing a mesh network, which would turn each Awearable device and the user into a node of sorts, allowing the signal to be transmitted between devices and passed around this web of connections to ensure the signal reaches every user on site. However, these are things to consider after our PDR on October 14, which will be the first red\/green light for the next stages of the project. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
