Research of Smart Footwear for Wintry Conditions

Category: Arts & Education Paper Type: Case Study Writing Reference: IEEE Words: 450

            Due to ice and snow in winters the roads, Footpath, and pavements becomes slippery.  The issue becomes intense due to unexpected parts and patches of ice.  The sleeping issues of roads causes problems for the locals and pedestrians. The injuries due to falling and slipping on the ice can result in fractures [1].  The sleeping issues are equally dangerous for young, old, and children.

        The previous researches proposed different solutions for the existing problem but all the solutions were limited and these solutions includes fitting of strap, sheet and hardness, and conventional footwear. These devices were useful for the areas where snow and ice have covered the roads and pavements on the other hand these devices are unsuitable for the areas where there is no ice and no slippery area [1].

        The person wearing such devices walk through the eyes patches easily but faces issues when entered into enclosed spaces for instance shopping mall, houses, and offices.  The present project is based on the designing, development, and creation of prototype smart ice gripper shoes. These devices are easy to use and reduces accident rates [5].  The design of the smart grid is sufficiently reliable and attractive.  The smart grippers consists of measures and spikes and operates on the basis of ground surface temperature. If the temperature of surrounding is higher than the temperature required for the ice formation then the spikes detracts [3].

        The design of smart footwear consists of electronic devices, memory materials, temperature sensors, and wearable polymers.   The working efficiency of slip resistant ant anti-slip devices is based on Shape Memory temperature range, complexity of electronic circuits, sensor limitations, hysteresis effect, and temperature measurement devices.  The pragmatic approach is considered for the devices to trigger the motion and to measure the initial stages of slipping [1].
