Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from those with unnoticed challenges, like passengers sitting on the priority seats despite those with hidden disabilities, our team is committed to creating a more attentive and inclusive public transport experience for those without a voice.

What it does

By making use of the RFID sensors carried by people with hidden disabilities, the special indicators on priority seats will light up, gently encouraging people to give up their seats to those in need.

How we built it

Making use of Bluetooth and RFID technology, we wanted to repurpose the same casing and technology used in the TraceTogether Tokens. We used Fusion 360 to design a case for the electrical componenets and 3D printed it out.

Challenges we ran into

Bluetooth not working
Reliability of the electrical components was inconsistent
Finding the optimal placement of the device to best serve those who need it ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
Managed to produce a functional prototype within the duration
Made use of exisiting technology to shine a light on those with hidden disabilities
Repurposed goverment technology used during the Covid-19, effectively reducing waste ## What we learned Things dosent always go by plan and there will be problems. We learn that we need to be able to quickly analyse the problem break it down and think of creative solutions within a limited timeframe. ## What's next for N-Able Study the interaction between users and those around them to see if the targeted audience do benefit from this implementation. We also hope to have a integration of BLE 5, optimizing shape and placement of the product.
