TRACE – EU Project

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia - UNIMORE

UNIMORE – Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia parteciperà al Make it Fair di Roma per presentare le attività di ricerca e innovazione condotte nell'ambito del progetto europeo TRACE, focalizzandosi sul caso d'uso italiano dedicato alla logistica urbana sostenibile. Nel progetto TRACE, UNIMORE coordina lo sviluppo di un sistema di platooning semi-autonomo per cargo bike elettriche, dove un operatore guida una bicicletta leader mentre le altre seguono in modalità autonoma. Questo sistema è supportato da un software avanzato sviluppato internamente, che consente la gestione delle consegne dell'ultimo miglio in modo efficiente e a basse emissioni. Per monitorare e visualizzare in tempo reale i dati provenienti dalle cargo bike, UNIMORE ha sviluppato il Digital Twin 3D USCV (Unreal Smart City Visualizer), una piattaforma basata su Unreal Engine 5 che permette di osservare il comportamento dei veicoli all'interno di un ambiente urbano virtuale. Inoltre, è stata realizzata una web-app che consente il controllo della formazione del platoon e il tracciamento delle consegne. I partner coinvolti nel caso d'uso italiano includono: SPINITALIA: responsabile della trasformazione delle cargo bike in veicoli automatizzabili. Comune di Modena: fornisce supporto logistico e infrastrutturale attraverso i server MASA (Modena Automotive Smart Area). URBICO: stakeholder logistico di Pesaro che ha avviato una campagna di raccolta dati sulle consegne dell'ultimo miglio a Modena, utilizzando cargo bike elettriche per ridurre le emissioni di CO₂. CSEM: sviluppa un sistema di visione e un dispositivo di comunicazione V2V per migliorare la sicurezza e l'efficienza del sistema di platooning. DIFLY: produttore di droni impegnato nella consegna di materiali critici tra hub ospedalieri. Durante l'evento, UNIMORE presenterà queste innovazioni, evidenziando il contributo del progetto TRACE alla mobilità urbana sostenibile e intelligente.

Wheels to Watts

Faire: Tashkent

Maker: 3/1018

Home: Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Wheels to Watts (WtW) is an innovative energy-harvesting system that generates electricity from the pressure of moving vehicle wheels. Using a rack-and-pinion mechanism connected to a generator, the downward force of passing vehicles is converted into rotational motion, producing clean, renewable power. A restoring element ensures the system resets for continuous operation. Designed for highways, toll gates, and busy roads, WtW offers a sustainable solution to power streetlights, signals, and charging stations while reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

ScienceLab

Solar Generator

Faire: Downtown Columbia

Maker: Unallocated Space

Home: Maryland, United States of America

I made a Solar Generator at Unallocated Maker Space. It’s a portable device that can supply 120 AC power in remote locations and or in times of Emergencies. I would like to demonstrate my project. I have no commercial interest. The system breaks down into two suitcases and a bag full of cables plus solar panels. I have spare parts and diagnostic equipment from the generator's creation to use as props for the demo along with photos of the process. (Sustainability & Green Tech) The solar generator is made with reclaimed LiFePo Cells. The cells were harvested from old packs tested for charge and discharge characteristics then rebuilt into differently configured packs. (Design and Fabrication) Raw PCBs were made from files and I populated the board by hand.

Stony Brook Solar Electric Boat

Faire: Long Island

Maker: Stony Brook Solar Racing

Home: New York, United States of America

Stony Brook Solar Racing is a student-led design team dedicated to designing and building high-performance solar electric boats for two annual competitions: Solar Splash and Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP). Each year, the team constructs two vessels—a manned and an unmanned. The manned boat is 14 feet long, runs on 36 volts, and controlled via throttle and steering levers. For Solar Splash, solar panels are mounted to continuously recharge the batteries. The unmanned vessel, which competes exclusively in PEP, is a half-scale model of the manned vessel, and was originally remote controlled, but is currently getting upgraded for autonomous operation.

Self-sustainable water filtering system

Faire: Tashkent

Maker: Epic Crew

Home: Jizzakh city, Uzbekistan

Our project introduces a self-sustainable water filtering system. Its main goal is to provide clean drinking water without harming the environment. The system requires no fuel, as it uses solar energy to purify undrinkable water. Through solar mirrors, the sun’s heat boils the water, and the vapor is collected and condensed into safe, drinkable water. A durable metal container stores the water, and tubes transport it efficiently. This eco-friendly design saves fuel, protects nature, and ensures a reliable source of clean water. Simple yet effective, our project offers a sustainable solution for everyone.
