Organization
City of Bisbee
Academic year
2016-2017
Bisbee, Arizona, is situated in a steep-sided canyon with thousands of steps providing access to residences. Goods must be transported to residents’ homes manually, which is unsafe, inconvenient and a deterrent to people moving to the city, whose residents need a safe and easy way to get items to and from their homes.
The objective of this project is to design a system for transporting items up and down the city’s steep hills. The system consists of several posts holding up a set of rails that carry a cart designed to hold whatever needs transporting.
The cart is pulled up the railway by a winch controlled by a Bluetooth keypad and Arduino Uno microcontroller. The city of Bisbee intends to offer this system to residents who request installation in their area.
