The UK’s largest bus operator First UK Bus, has announced the installation of new technology within its entire fleet of 9,000 vehicles that will constantly monitor its drivers’ performance in order to improve driving style. The move follows the successful trial of the ‘DriveGreen’ system in 1000 buses.The system consists of a unique GPS – Motion Sensor technology which is connected to a ‘traffic light’ display on vehicle dashboards. It flashes amber or red if a bus driver carries out poor driving techniques, such as heavy braking or unnecessary acceleration. The driver can then make immediate changes to their driving; this ensures buses travel more smoothly and efficiently, producing fewer CO2 emissions, as well as improving safety.Since the ‘traffic light’ system was introduced, the number of manoeuvres such as heavy braking, cornering too fast or too slow and unnecessary lane changing were reduced by 70%, improving the passenger experience. In addition to the technological support, a £2 million ... Dis

GC&SU's Spring 2008 CSCI 1302 Phidget Runway Project. (Programming Language: Java) My phidget was a miniature turret from the game "Portal" It used a motion sensor in the front and a touch sensor in the back and responded with a variety of the turret's phrases. The GUI portion of the program contained a widget of the turret which lit up based on its mode: Hibernate, Active, or Shut-Down. To build the phidget, I used an "AquaPod" water bottle, cut off the top and a hole in the front, put in both the sensors and wrapped it in white duct tape, then I wrapped the bottom portion in silver duct tape and used broken sunglasses legs as the turret's side legs and a pen as the back one. You can't see it very well but I had a paper clip in there as the antennae. My project got 3rd place. First place, ironically, was an actual turret (using foam discs)

“Murata Boy” developed by Japanese electronic components manufacturer Murata. Murata Boy was built entirely with standard Murata products such as gyroscopic, ultrasonic, and shock sensors and motion control, battery, imaging, and communication modules and for a little fellow, he certainly packs in the functionality, being capable of speeds up to 60cm/sec (2 km/h), standing upright without falling, obstacle detection, running backwards, running a predetermined course while monitoring his position, receiving instructions wirelessly and capturing and sending images to its PC master wirelessly.
