| Aktuelle | Tidligere |
Doors are natural choke points in buildings, which means that people frequently arrive at the same door from different directions. If two people arrive at the same door at exactly the same time, one will risk opening the door into the face of the other. Even if grievously bodily harm is avoided, at least one of the people is likely to be startled, which is never a pleasant experience.
Installing movement sensors on both sides of the door allows an intelligent home environment to determine when two users are likely to arrive at the door at the same time, thus risking collisions, and warn one (or both) of the peple that someone is also approaching from the other side. This will decrease the risk of collisions and generally increase the comfort level of all inhabitants. There a different auditive and visual means of warning people that someone is approaching from the other side of the door. Visual means, e.g., traffic lights or flashes, might be preferred in an environment with a high ambient noise level, while sound may be more appropriate when there is a lot of ambient light or blind people have to be considered. It also appears obvious that loud audial warnings are in appropriate in quiet environments such as library reading rooms or office environments.
The project must develop a working prototype of a doorway collision control system for an intelligent building environment. This requires installation of sensors on an actual door, development of a sensor network that transports sensor data to the intelligent buildings system, the development of a generic collision detection framework that allows different types of sensors to be used and the development of a generic warning system that may issue different forms of auditive and visual warnings.
The project requires special hardware so it will only be available to one group of students.
