The TARC

The TARC is an idea to refine safety for middle and lower-class families, by making affordable technology that can be placed inside their vehicles. My motto is "Ensuring Tommorow, Savings Lives Today"

Inspiration

When I was driving home with my mother one day, a car rear-ended us, crashing into us with so much force that both the cars bumpers fell off. After the accident, the police and ambulance took quite a while to arrive, leading me to worry about what would have happened if anyone had gotten seriously hurt. I wanted to create a way so that the EMS services could arrive at accident sites faster, to prevent unnecessary deaths.

What it does

The TARC is an idea that quickly locates the location of an accident and immediately sends a signal with the location to the local authorities (Police, Fire Station, Hospital) so they can arrive as fast as possible.

How we built it

I used the research I did to create the google slides for the presentation. I used XBOX Gamebar to actually record the presentation.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge I ran into was that the installation of a satellite for this purpose would be somewhat expensive, so I was trying to find a way around using a satellite. Another issue that came up is trying to find a way to make it so that the TARC only sends a signal when there's an accident, rather than constantly sending a signal and stopping the signal when an accident occurs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of making an entire presentation, and recording it into a video from the research I did.

What we learned

I learned a lot about unnecessary deaths that could have been prevented by quicker EMS response times.

What's next for The TARC

I plan to make more videos about the specifics of the TARC, then make a working prototype in the near future.
