LEDmyBike: Visibilidad y seguridad para ciclistas
Posted on by albarc

El B105 acaba de empezar a trabajar en un nuevo proyecto con la empresa de nueva creación LEDmyBike. Esta empresa nace con el objetivo de desarrollar soluciones y productos que mejoren la visibilidad y seguridad de los ciclistas en sus desplazamientos por vías públicas.

El producto a desarrollar consiste en un accesorio que se puede acoplar en la mochila o la espalda del ciclista, o debajo del sillín de la bicicleta, y que presenta una serie de indicadores luminosos. Estas señales están basadas en tecnología LED de alta luminosidad y son controladas de forma inalámbrica a través de un pequeño mando situado en el manillar. El accesorio indicador estará alimentado mediante una batería recargable por USB, mientras que el mando llevará una pequeña pila de botón, contando ambos con una autonomía de varias semanas para un uso habitual. Las señales luminosas consisten en dos intermitentes que permiten al usuario indicar sus giros a izquierda y derecha además de una luz roja de posición que se mantiene encendida constantemente.

La participación del B105 en este proyecto está enfocada a desarrollar los sistemas electrónicos de control de luces y de gestión de comunicaciones inalámbricas presentes en el accesorio indicador y en el mando. Por otro lado, la empresa trdimension se encargará de los aspectos mecánicos y fabricación final del dispositivo.

Puentes – Low cost bridge health monitoring by ambient vibration tests using wireless sensors
Posted on by frta

puentesMeasurebox

The proposed research project is aimed to develop and implement a system for damage detection and localization in bridge structures. This structural health monitoring system is based on ambient dynamic tests, i.e. tests subjected to uncontrolled loading (traffic, wind etc.), and on the application of advanced structural identification techniques. The tests are carried out in such a way that existing bridge traffic remains undisturbed. The structural health monitoring system is automated to integrate the different measurement phases:

  1. positioning of sensors,
  2. data acquisition,
  3. deduction of dynamic structural characteristics and,
  4. evaluation of the structural behaviour.

The measurement campaign can be carried out by a reduced technical team in a relatively short time. In this context different bridge tests can be considered: bridges without accessible design, with a preliminary design, with an updated design and with results from a previous ambient dynamic test. Existing algorithms and related software will be upgraded in view of automatic design of low cost sensor distribution and damage localization from the test output data. The developed system will be applied to two pilot bridges to check the quality level of the derived damage information. The structural health monitoring system will be tailored to the common bridge types: simply supported or continuous, in reinforced or prestressed concrete. Finally, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the low cost wireless sensor system, a comparison will be made with a traditional wired system, regarding feasibility and cost effectiveness.
