Intelligent Sidewalk De-icing and Pre-treatment with Connected Campus Maintenance Vehicles
Develop an automated system for precision application of de-icing chemicals on-campus and urban sidewalks that will reduce excessive chemical application and will result in less environmental impact, reduced infrastructure aging, and cost savings. The development platform will be a small electric vehicle to provide students the opportunity to have a hands-on development environment that can be safely used on campus without extensive coordination necessary for large commercial vehicles.
