Overview

Overview

  • Designed and developed a wearable architecture catered for ride safety evaluation - analyzing g-force, acceleration, and impact of a ride participant.
  • Conducted research on existing/similar solutions, sensor systems and industry standards on human-factors, safety and ergonomics (ASTM and TSSA).
  • Iteratively developed low-fidelity mockups into wearable prototypes considering sensor displacement, enhancing comfort, and ensuring technical sustainability in high-impact environments.
  • Collected 40 runs on a Zip Line, cleaned and reformatted the data set based on industry requirements to analyze the rider’s movement, g-force and speed. Created data visualization models to assess results with stakeholders.
  • TSSA Graduate Research Scholarship Recipient 2018.
