Project Description

The goal of H.E.A.T.2 is to create an automated heated smart pavement tile that can be used for a driveway, walkway or roadway. The H.E.A.T.2 incorporates temperature and humidity sensors, a coiled heating element, and LEDs integrated into each panel and accurate sensors that can aid in automation. The H.E.A.T. Square utilizes a temperature and humidity sensor to detect when snow and ice are on the pavement, when detected, the microcontroller triggers a relay to turn on the heating system. When the pavement reaches a temperature well abovefreezing the microcontroller will turn off the relay and heatingsystem. The H.E.A.T.2 has a built in strip of LEDs that areused as an indicator for the state of the system.

Initial Block Diagrams

The image on the left above is of the hardware block diagram. It shows how the hardware side of H.E.A.T.2 was envisioned at the start with heavy inclusion of solar panels. On the right is the software block diagram. The mobile application on this side was a stretch goal and ultimately did not make it into the final product
