Congratulations! Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology won the
2016 National Youth Creative Applications Competition with its Sticky Wireless
Transmission LED Direction Indicator

Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology participated in the 2016 National Youth Creative Applications Competition organized by the Association of Chiayi City Youth Year. There were two stages, namely, the preliminary and final competitions. The participants came from colleges and vocational senior high schools across the country, with a total of 356 teams registered. In the preliminary competition, 48 college teams and 81vocational high teams qualified for the finals. The STUST team, directed by Prof. Shi-Fang Chen and formed by students from Electronic Engineering Department—Yang-Jie Gao, Jia-Wei Liu, Fu-Bin Wang, Jia-Yu Lin, and Jing-Yang Chen—won a gold medal in Safety and Engineering Group with their Sticky Wireless Transmission LED Direction Indicator, showing their creativity and potential in research and development.

Sticky Wireless Transmission LED Direction Indicator works with a high brightness LED light bar design[← 三 →]affixed to a flexible transparent sheet of soft and a double-sided tape or sticky formula made directional light. Wireless remote control or remote control via Bluetooth phone app (Bluetooth) is used to control the [←] or [→] indicator. In addition, a light sensor is installed to make [三] become bright in the dark (nights, rainy days, or foggy days, etc.) This applies to bicycles, electric bicycles, and motorcycles. The wireless remote control should be attached to the handle (locomotives can be combined with light direction control button), while the LED direction indicator should be affixed to the back of the helmet or clothes behind. One can simultaneously display the turning indicators of the vehicle to increase traffic safety. When the LED direction indicators are affixed to the back of a coat, the remote control, via a mobile phone app, can control the [←], [→] or [三] flashes. It can improve the safety of pedestrians (especially seniors traveling at night or early in the morning). It can be employed as indicators to show directions in public places or exhibitions, to warn other drivers when a vehicle is broken or needs road maintenance. It can applied quite extensively as the production and design are both simple, with great value for commercialization.
