Hello,
I am Yuvish Chintaram from Mauritius Island.
Recently, I have applied to a university and my acceptance would be considered on a project that would help to contribute to my society.
My other friends are planting mangroves to help protect the marine ecosystem but I am more interested in science and think to have find an interesting project.
A few months ago, an accident occured to a student that fell from a moving bus.(I have send you the link below.)
Surprisingly, two more people fell from a moving bus from the back emergency door after the earlier incident.
A solution was found by the Government that all bus should have an alarm and that when the door opens an alarm will ring. But this does not solve the problem!
Hence, my idea was to incorporate a locking system that is fully autonomous. The system should lock the door while the bus is moving but unlock itself when the bus stops at a bustop.
I was thinking of using an accelerometer that will detect the acceleration of the bus that will relay to a circuit such that at a minimum value the latter will send a signal that will automatically lock or unlock the system.
eg. If(X>200)
eletric lock is lock
else if (X<200)
electric.lock is unlock
I am here to ask you if you could give me some advice and also if my current solution will work.
I would also be pleased to know your ideas about my project.( How would you answer it, etc..)
I would really appreciate if you could reply me as soon as possible.
Regards
Yuvish Chintaram
