Visibility, LED and Sound
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, at mei dolore tritani repudiandae. In his nemore temporibus consequuntur, vim ad prima vivendum consetetur.
Aesthetics
LED testing phase:
- Tried both single LED strip and double LED strips.
- Determined that two LED strips are the minimum for adequate visibility.
Cables and boxes:
- During testing, some cables and boxes were left exposed for easy access and modifications (e.g., adding extra LEDs, more sound).
- In the final design, everything will be integrated into the LED strip and not visible.
Sound
- After feedback from Cedric, we know that siren type 1 – can be heard but not siren type 2. This meaning we will only use type 1.
Mount and Stability
Current Structure
Current structure: Simple wood solution used for testing purposes.
Final design:
- Material: Aluminum structure for stability, lightweight, and ease of use.
- Protection: Foam around the aluminum for added protection and softness during races.
- Visibility: Tube insulation allows for strong, visible colors.
- Optional exterior: Yellow colored “sock” with or without branding can be added.
Controlling and sensors
Sensor and control options:
- Compatible with the same sensors used for Safety Signs.
- Future capability to connect directly to riders via BLE sensors, activating when a rider approaches.
Additional system capabilities:
- Weather sensors (temperature, humidity, etc.)
- Air quality sensors
- Sound sensors
- Additional sensors as needed
