Smart Crosswalk

SENSOL Systems

JUN.19 - DEC.19

SENSOL Crosswalk is a smart modular crosswalk that aims to improve pedestrian safety . The crosswalk lights up when a pedestrian walks on it and remains inactive when a vehicle passes across it. The design is ADA compliant and aimed to be powered by off-the-grid electric input using solar energy and battery storage system.

With a team of 12 student engineers consisting of graduates and undergraduates from different majors such as civil, electronics, material science and mechanical engineering, the module has matured from an idea to a proof of concept.

As a Lead Design Engineer, I am primarily responsible for the mechanical design, manufacturing, and testing of the prototypes along with setting team goals, taking updates from different sub groups and meeting with the university officials regarding the requirements.

The design was prototyped using wood, in-house FDM printer and 3rd party manufacturer such as Fictiv.
