A twelfth year (year) student at Khawlah Bint Hakim School in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain created a device to detect fog on highways from a distance.
The student, Alia Al-Suryaei, told «Emirates Today» that the innovation project called it (Al-Adeed), because it helps the road goers to discover fog at a distance that enables them to take care and caution, and it also helps the concerned authorities (police and ambulance) to determine the location of any occurrence An accident due to fog. ”
She stated that the project consists of two devices, one of which is installed in the car, and the other is installed on the road, and when the car is at a certain distance from the place of fog, the device installed on the road issues signals via the GSM feature, which the car device receives via sensors, in turn to alert the car driver Acoustically there is fog, and then calms down so that it does not collide with any object that it might not see. Al-Suryaei pointed out that the project requires the installation of devices on the road so that the distance between each device is one kilometer, adding that both the road device and the car device are equipped with a phone chip, through which the device sends a text message to the nearest police station with a fog on the road, or sends a message Text to the nearest police station and the nearest ambulance with an accident on the road, due to fog. She mentioned that the single device is made up of GPS, and GSM, which sends an alert to the car device that the road has a fog, in addition to a fog detector (sensors), and a sound alert machine, noting that this project can contribute to reducing road traffic accidents due to fog by up to 60%. "I worked on implementing the project under the supervision of my teacher at the school, Noura Al-Dahhak. The project took about eight months of research, preparation and implementation, and we also received great support from the school principal, and I was encouraged to accomplish what I learned from the material of creative design and innovation."
