Our goal is to design a custom warning system for a girl with cerebral palsy so that others in her path will be warned of her presence. Currently there is no system that can be attached to her wheelchair to alert the person controlling her wheelchair of any incoming traffic.
Our team: YikNing Wong (Team Leader), Jimmy Fong (BSAC), Farshad Fahimi (BWIG), Tyler Witt (Communications)
Finished Prototype
Here is a picture of the switch console mounted on the handlebar of the wheelchair.
