Introduction and Scope of project 1.1 Aim Aim of this assignment is to: a. State the problem of the assigned project, in a clear and unambiguous way; b. State clearly the magnitude of the task c. Complete the preliminary analysis of the system for the assigned project d. Show evidence that the quality management/assurance will be carried out at the individual level 1.2 The Project 1.2.1 What is the project? To confirm the project is well understood, we need to explore every possible type of solution to vertical transport. The higher the frequency of solutions, the better the project can be understood meaning the solutions can be as ridiculous as possible. A mind map is shown below. (I am sure there is more transport modes then currently mapped below and will explore them in assignment 2) Figure 1 - All types of Vertical Transport modes (Please note a larger version can be found in the Appendix) Now we have discovered what modes of Vertical Transport, we need to discover where people and things need to use Vertical Transport. A mind map is mapped below.6/04/2017 4 | P a g e Figure 2 - Buildings and Infrastructure using Vertical Transport Now we have mapped all types of Vertical Transport modes and locations, let's find out what currently are the best forms Vertical Transport in buildings. A table of pros and cons can be seen below. In assignment 2, our team will find evidence through peer related articles and interviewing for empathy as to why these are the best modes of vertical transport inside buildings. Rank # (according to time and efficiency) Current Vertical Transport in Buildings Why? Pros Cons 1 Lift  Fast transportation  Transport people and things over a long distance vertical  Ease of use  Limited Space  Expensive 2 Escalator  Efficient transportation  Vertical distance  Transport  Expensive 3 Stairs  No Mechanical or Electrical parts  Cheap  Simple  Vertical distance transport It is to be noted that Lifts are the best way to transport people and things quickly and simply vertically. It is our job to complete a whole system design to improve efficiency and time. The way this happens is through sensing.6/04/2017 5 | P a g e All vertical transport is mapped we need to understand what causes problems in vertical transport. A mind map is mapped below. Figure 3 – Causes of Problems in Vertical Transport? To confirm all the causes of problems in vertical transport are stated we shall state all problems with Vertical transport. A mind map is mapped below. Figure 4 - Problems associated with Vertical Transport It is to be noted that waiting too long and the density of people can all be under the same problem of timing. Timing can control the density. To understand this real problem, more empathy framework from an end user is needed. In the following assignment we can gain an understanding of empathy for people using vertical transportation by conducting interviews and finding out and confirming problems associated with vertical transportation.6/04/2017 6 | P a g e 1.2.2 Location The problem space lies at the University of Technology Sydney. It is a new Engineering Building, building 11, built and completed in 2014. The main problem of waiting around for the lift, stairs do not connect all stairs and lifts are too crowded. Empathy work and end user interviews need to done in assignment 2. Figure 5 - Map of UTS: Engineering Building 11 highlighted in blue.

System Requirement Specifications 2.1 Problem In this day and age, business is vital to a thriving economy and prosperity. Many businesses locate their business in or close to any Central Broad District (CBD). In order to get businesses and people close to a central location as possible – the only direction is vertical. High rise buildings and skyscrapers are featured in CBD's. In this instance CBD's have become very heavy populated area due to the nature of high rise buildings. In our society it is very demanding and time driven meaning time is important to everyone especially in business. In order to transport things (People, animals, machines) vertically, machines were made to transport these things safely and as quick as possible. Currently the problem lies in people waiting for lifts and overcrowded spaces. In this day and age and with access to a wide resource of6/04/2017 7 | P a g e technology – the positioning and monetarisation of people and these things moving can be recorded and ultimately improved to create the most efficient process. This can be done by looking at the project holistically and determining its main end users. Different types of sensors can be used in order to create the most efficient, safe, easiest, comfortable way possible to transport people and things vertical. 2.2 Presentation semantics of the requirements Now the problem space is well understood we need to apply it to our project. In particular vertical Transport in UTS engineering building 11. Figure 7 - Solutions to causes and problems of Vertical Transport (Please note a larger version can be found in the Appendix) All causes and problems of Vertical Transportation have been noted. Our project needs to develop sensors to control these parameters of causes and problems. The focus should be in fixing the need of vertical transportation, in particular timing, then focus on developing wants and comfort in Vertical Transportation. 2.3 Raw Requirements Raw Requirement Category Raw Requirement Functional Sensors include:  Motor sensors  Mechanical Sensors  Electrical Sensors  Smart Camera that sensors and counts amount of people waiting  Proximity Sensors  Vibration Sensors  Infrared Sensors  Motion Sensors  Light Sensors  Audio sensors  Temperature sensors  Humidity Sensors Non – Functional Functional requirements can be measured against criteria including:  Individual sensor life (time)  Frequency rate of sensing (time)6/04/2017 8 | P a g e  Location (distance away from sensing object) Performance  Power  Frequency rate of sensing  Storage  Space Behavioural  Microcontrollers  Frequency of sensing  Power Design Constraints  Location  Power  Sensor lifetime 2.4 Selection of Sensor / Actuator Technology (Assignment 1 – Part 2) Type of Sensor Why this type of sensor in WSN? Input Output Motor sensors Find faults within motors used in WSN Detection of fault mV Mechanical Sensors Find faults within mechanical devices used in WSN Detection of fault mV Electrical Sensors Find faults within electronics used in WSN Detection of fault mV Smart Camera Sensors and counts amount of people waiting Amount of People Number of people Proximity Sensors Sensors and measures proximal distance to person Distance (cm) mV Vibration Sensors Can detect and measure vibration and hence close people Vibration (change in movement) mV Infrared Sensors To detect different objects in lift. Possibly for security reasons. Motion Sensors Easily detect movement around area Infrared imagery mV Light Sensors To be installed inside and outside of lift – mood lighting.

This could be in the form of:  Funding  Individual contribution Without knowing what funding details are known, it is hard to predict how much would be spent on the project. Also dependant on individual budgets and contributions. Please note that a proper schedule using Microsoft Project will be implemented in Assignment 2. 3.
