3.3.2 A description of your contributions to your team’s research, oral presentation preparation and proposal writing Throughout the course of our project, I made several contributions to our team’s research, proposal writing, and oral presentation preparation. In the early stages, I proposed the idea of a smart traffic light/congestion predictor using AI and real-time data, which I believed could be a valuable solution for urban traffic management. Although our team ultimately chose to develop an integrated timetable software, I played an active role in refining this idea by identifying key gaps and helping set clear objectives. I also offered insights into the limitations of the current timetable system and suggested making the software multi-platform to increase its accessibility and user base. As we moved into the research and proposal writing phases, I focused on gathering relevant data. I conducted a survey among SIT students to identify the issues they face with the current time...

Critical Reflection

-
  At the beginning of this module, I set two personal goals. Firstly, to become more confident and composed when speaking in front of groups, so that my ideas can be conveyed effectively, and secondly, to structure my thoughts more clearly in conversations and presentations, so I could contribute more meaningfully in team settings. Looking back, I believe I’ve made significant progress in both areas. Weekly group discussions and peer feedback sessions gave me the chance to step out of my comfort zone and gradually build confidence. Early on, I often found myself hesitating or stumbling when speaking spontaneously, even when I had a solid grasp of the content. However, as the course progressed, I noticed a clear improvement in my ability to communicate under pressure. I became more composed and articulate, gaining confidence in both my delivery and presence. I learned to pace my speech effectively, maintain steady eye contact, and focus on conveying key messages with clarity. These ...

Additional Final Draft Reader Response

Advanced infrastructure systems that transfer electricity from the road to vehicles, enabling dynamic charging while in motion can also be referred to as electric roads (Kumar & Yadav, 2023). According to the same authors, this innovative technology addresses significant challenges faced by electric vehicles (EVs), such as limited battery range and prolonged charging times. Conductive, inductive, and overhead catenary are the three main types of electric road systems (ERS). Conductive systems rely on physical contact with electrified tracks embedded in the road, exemplified by Sweden's eRoadArlanda, which uses a movable arm to connect vehicles to an electrified rail (European Road Transport Research Advisory Council, 2020). Inductive system uses electromagnetic fields to charge vehicles wirelessly by using coils buried beneath the road. One example of this would be Sweden’s SmartRoad Gotland (Schwirzke et al., 2022). Overhead catenary systems, like Germany's eHighway projec...

Individual research contribution group project

I suggested traffic light/congestion smart predictor as an idea during our idea selection phase. I thought of it as a solution to improve urban traffic management by utilizing real-time data and artificial intelligence to help cut down waiting time, but ultimately, the team decided on an integrated timetable software as it was more relatable for us. I contributed by helping to refine the idea, identifying key gaps, and setting clear objectives to ensure its effectiveness. Through discussions and brainstorming, I also provided insights on the current timetable system. One such insight was allowing the software to be multi-platform so that it can reach more users.   [edited on 11/03/25] 25/02/25  Pitching our timetable app idea was a rewarding experience, as I had the opportunity to contribute by clearly explaining how it could benefit students and faculty. I focused on making the concept engaging and easy to understand, ensuring that our vision was communicated effect...

Summary Draft #3

Summary: Electric roads, also known as electrified roads, are advanced infrastructure systems that transfer electricity from the road to vehicles, enabling dynamic charging while in motion (Kumar & Yadav, 2023). According to the same authors, this innovative technology addresses significant challenges faced by electric vehicles (EVs), such as limited battery range and lengthy charging times. There are three main types of electric road systems (ERS): conductive, inductive, and overhead catenary. Conductive systems rely on physical contact with electrified tracks embedded in the road, exemplified by Sweden's eRoadArlanda, which uses a movable arm to connect vehicles to an electrified rail (European Road Transport Research Advisory Council, 2020).
