Final Project Proposal

Project Ideation

WASLA - tracker

How many times have you used public transportation in a strange place and you do not know where is your destination?

So, you asked the driver to tell you when you get to your stop. Then after a while, he told you that "obs! I just forgot"

at this moment you have two choices.....

To get back and take another transportation and that will waste your TIME and your money! or to kill the driver!

So, WASLA-tracker will help you to select your destination once you get on the bus and send it to the driver on a large screen in front of him. SO he will not forget your station again,

About WASLA-tracker

Wasla tracker consists of two parts.

The first one is consist of a screen provided with four bottoms

1- up

to go up between the stations that recorded on the bus system

2- down

to go down between the stations that recorded on the bus system

3- Enter

To select your station

4- Nazzelny

To tell the driver to STOP within 10-20 meter

The second part is a large screen in front of the driver. when the rider selects his station, it appears directly on the driver screen with the number of passengers who have the same arrival point.

WASLA-tracker is not a GPS, But one of the future plans is to integrate WASLA_tracker with a GPS in the two parts, the driver and rider to more accuracy.

Also, we are planning to add a touchscreen with a keyboard to add comments to the driver and new stations to the system.

Project Planning

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of

Construction Parts

WASLA - tracker consist of 2 parts, each one designed to hold an LCD screen using Fusion 360 and Laser cutting machine to fabricate a 2.5D body

Input

(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)

The input will be taken when the passenger hit the Up, Down, Select or NAZZELNY buttons to select his stop point

Action

(Physical and/or Graphic)

Physical and Graphical Actions

When you press on the USER part buttons

1- up

user will go up between the stations that recorded on the bus system

2- down

user will go down between the stations that recorded on the bus system

3- Enter

will select user station

4- Nazzelny

give an order (SOUND /LIGHT)to the drive screen to drop the passenger within 15-20 meter

The second part is a large screen in front of the driver. when the rider selects his drop point, it appears directly on the driver screen with the number of passengers who have the same drop point.

Brain

2 Arduino UNO boards connected together in the two parts

Power Management

WASLA - tracker will be provided by the car/bus electricity using suitable adaptors

5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

User part

consist of :

1- 16x2 LCD screen

2- 4 buttons

3- Arduino

Driver part

consist of :

1- 20x4 LCD screen

2- button

3- lamb

4- Arduino

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.

Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish

Minimum User Features

When the user press the buttons the [staions recorded on the system] will appear vertically on the screen and he has to choose his drop point using the SELECT button
- Action: USer part buttons and screen
- Sensing: none
- User Input: pressing user part buttons
When the user select his drop point, " the station name - [the number of passengers has chosen the same station] will appear on the driver screen
- Action: LCD screen
- Sensing: none
- User Input: none

Complete User Features

During the selection process, a Buzzeer /Lamb will give [complete sound] or [light signal] to confirm that the selection process is finished successfully
- Action: lamb/speaker
- Sensing: none
- User Input: pressing user part buttons
When the user select his drop point, an alarm or light signal appears to the driver to get informed with the next stop
- Action: amb/speaker
- Sensing: none
- User Input: pressing user part buttons

Nice-to-have User Features

User part will be provided with a touch screen and keyboard to provide the driver with comments or add stations to the system
- Action: touch screen
- Sensing: touch screen
- User Input: tap on the screen
user and driver part will be provided with GPS to detect the location accurately
- Action: detect the location using GPS
- Sensing: GPS
- User Input: tap on the screen
we could connect the 2 parts with a mobile app to provide the best user experience
- Action: using the application
- Sensing: GPS
- User Input: select the location through the app
