Design for disaster- Floodlit





This is the final design for design for disaster product, my selected natural disaster is flood.
Floodlit is a floating road marker to be used in slow on-set flood water in developing country for this project focusing directly in Indonesia.Floodlit uses 4 high intensity LED to light up and mark hazards during a flood, the product is placed by the Indonesian army to prevent travellers getting into hazards on the road such as- submerged debris, potholes, riverbed, chemical spills etc.
It can also be used as a traffic guide to help travellers out of affected area and into safety, evacuation point or medical centers.Floodlit main design is to adjust to the changing water level, it uses a spring loaded recoil pulley system in order to adjust to the rising and decreasing water level, floodlit also uses traditional anchor used in marine industry to anchor to the ground ( can be changeable depending on conditions)

Bellow is my rationale- Feel free to read it and comments
