Product Idea

3. Introduction
• Smart Sensor:
 A physical system that responds to a type of stimulus by
creating a useful response.
 stimulus is the physical phenomenon detected.

4. Activity (1,2)
Activity 1: Evading
Motion Detection
Activity 2: Taking a
Tour of some sensors
We observed the stimulus
and response of a
commercial piezoelectric
motion detector and
challenged to evade the
detector
We investigated about
various sensors, and
identified the stimulus
and response for each
sensor.

5. Activity (3,4)
Activity 3: Making a
microphone
In this activity we
assembled and operate
and evaluate a
piezoelectric microphone
system.
Activity 4: Exploring
the Piezo Effect
We construct models of
PVDF monomer and
polymer.

6. Activity (5,Design Project)
Activity 5:
Measuring
Piezoelectric
response
We investigate the
voltage response of PVDF
film when it is subjected
to force and heat
Design Project:
Designing a coin
counter
We designed a smart
sensor coin counter using
PVDF, and recorded the
voltage response of PVDF
film.

8. Rescue Bumper
This project is about car crashes. Did you know,
Nearly 1.25 million people die in
road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths
a day. We hope to reduce this large amount of
deaths greatly with our project. It is a simple
sensor which senses the amount of pressure. If
the pressure is too high (pressure of a car
crashing into it) it will alert the micro-controller
of the threat. That micro controller will send a
message to a nearby hospital or call emergency
services. It will have a GPS system which can
send the live location to the rescuers.

9. Rescue Bumper
Aim of the project
• make roads safer by decreasing the amounts of
deaths and severe injuries caused by car crashes
worldwide.

10. Rescue Bumper
Hypothesis: (‫)الفرضية‬
• By implementing the project idea this will help
reducing the percentage of death caused by car
accidents.

11. Rescue Bumper
Methods and Materials
- Pressure sensor.
- Arduino
- Car

12. Rescue Bumper
Methods and Materials
we will use pressure sensor to detect the pressure
on the car when it gets in an accident. We will put
a limit for the pressure if it exceeds the limit that
means the car crashed then the signal will be sent
to an Arduino which will send the location of the
car to emergency services.

13. Rescue Bumper
Results: (‫)النتائج‬
• The project will decrease the amount of death
occurs because of car accidents. Since the
project can message emergency services
immediately

14. Rescue Bumper
Recommendations: (‫)التوصيات‬
• This idea should be implemented in all cars to help
reduce the injuries and death caused by car accidents.
• Further researches should be done to improve this idea

15. Rescue Bumper
Conclusion: (‫)الخاتمة‬
• During our participation in Al-Bairaq program
we have gained different skills such as problem
solving, critical thinking through the different
activities that we done to learn about smart
sensors
