In prior exercises, I had developed
the idea of a radio to be placed in vehicles with a decibel reader for hearing
impaired drivers. This idea could also help those that are not hearing impaired
but would like to maintain the hearing they have. After conducting some
interviews and thinking further, I have changed my idea and shaped it further.
My solution to this idea is to
include a device within vehicles that attaches to the steering wheel. Radio
decibel readers is a nice idea but most people may get agitated with such a
feature. A new solution to help the hearing impaired (as well as others) is a
device that can detect, within a two mile radius, sirens or emergency vehicles
coming toward the vehicle. This would then alert the driver by vibrating the
wheel. This would be beneficial to hearing impaired drivers who may not detect
the sound as quickly as others. It may also be helpful to other drivers; as
nowadays many use their phones and other devices while driving. Being alert is
important for anyone behind the wheel.
