RCI146: SMART MOSAIC FOR ENHANCED URBAN ACCESSIBILITY
Project RCI146 introduces an innovative smart mosaic, designed to revolutionize urban accessibility and safety. This advanced system incorporates a range of features tailored to improve the urban experience for all, particularly aiding visually impaired individuals.
Key Features of the Smart Mosaic:
- Ice and Snow Melting Capability: The smart mosaic is equipped with a heating element that can melt ice and snow from its surface. This feature is especially beneficial in colder climates, ensuring safe and accessible walkways for pedestrians.
- Luminous Pathway: It includes a luminous body that lights up the path for pedestrians during both day and night, enhancing visibility and safety in low-light conditions.
- Solar-Powered Charging: The mosaic is integrated with a solar system, capable of charging electric wheelchairs. This eco-friendly feature supports the mobility of wheelchair users, ensuring they have access to charging facilities outdoors.
- Intelligent Pedestrian Detection: The system is equipped with sensors that detect pedestrians, providing additional safety measures, especially for blind or partially sighted individuals.
- Assistive Wristband for the Visually Impaired: The smart mosaic works in conjunction with a receiver mounted on a wristband, designed for blind or partially sighted people. This receiver helps them detect their path and identify potential obstacles, facilitating safer and more independent navigation through the city.
- Enhanced Urban Accessibility: The mosaic’s comprehensive design and features aim to make urban environments more accessible and safe for all, particularly enhancing the mobility of individuals with visual impairments.
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Design: The use of solar power not only makes the system energy-efficient but also reduces its environmental footprint, aligning with sustainable urban development goals.
Project RCI146 is a testament to RCI’s commitment to creating smart, inclusive, and sustainable urban solutions. This smart mosaic system represents a significant step forward in making cities more accessible and safer for everyone, demonstrating our dedication to innovation and social responsibility in urban design.
