2. Smart Indicator Drone
- Introduction
This project is about a drone specialized for being seen,
using advanced LED lighting, indicators and road signs
in an intelligent way, in the place and time it needs to
be used.

3. Smart Indicator Drone
- Utilities
With this configuration, drone will be able to cover and perform some
needed action in our actual society like:
- Emergency light:
The LED lighting, bright and color, and the great luminosity; add the
possibility of it use as a huge overhead lantern.
It could light a certain place until the arrival of other services or until the
problem is resolved.
The drone versatility will allow more or less view for the people in land
(firefighters, accidents, road crossings, temporary incorporation lanes, etc.).

4. Smart Indicator Drone
- Utilities
- Road accidents: Drone could arrive to the place, it warns and it avoids
worse effects while waiting for firefighters, police men and ambulances.
- Fire lighting, follow-me in a fired forest to save firefighters or people who
need a scape way.
- Follow-me at the airport, to improve landing/take off and land operations.
- Urgencies (ambulances), to keep other road users in attention to some
urgency. For example, if they need to run fast in a city.
- Assistance and guide for land vehicles (ambulances/VIPs/police…) when
the vehicle´s GPS is not enough or when it requires an additional overhead
view (provided by drone´s camera).

5. Smart Indicator Drone
- Chosen features
The features of the chosen commercial drone will be:
Drone has to be secure, because:
It is used to emergencies and no common situations.
Failures are not an option, so duplicity will be used to ensure their perfect work.
We suggest using a high number of engines in each drone:
to warranty the minimum danger in the case of one of them break and
for the maximum capacity load:
Great batteries for the drone lighting,
LEDs panels,
Video camera,
Etc.

6. Smart Indicator Drone
- We propose: 1st idea
Drone has got two drop down glow panels (with a 45º angle) for a perfect view
from land.
Both of them make a 90º angle. There is no aerodynamic impact, because when
the drone is flying they are not dropped down.
First idea Drone

7. Smart Indicator Drone
- We propose: 2nd idea
Drone would have four curtains made by LEDs.
Drone could deploy from 1 to 4 flexible LEDs curtains,
Each one in each of his sides (making a cube).

8. Smart Indicator Drone
- We propose: 3rd idea
Drone would the utility to send messages
For this, it could use displays (which are in the actual market) or a circular LEDs panel.
It is situated in the inferior part of the drone.
With this piece, panel messages will turn around it.
It makes that drone doesn´t need to move, just keep his position in the air/land.
