Link to video of project working above.
To give a brief background, I think that it is ridiculous to have to pay for university parking when students pay thousands of dollars for tuition every semester. Not only that, but included in our tuition, there is also a transportation fee of the same amount. For students that do not use the transportation provided by the school, I feel that the "transportation" fee should cover parking costs, or not charge use that fee at all. To add insult to injury, you can get a ticket for parking on campus with an expired permit.
My alarm is a small protest piece in the shape of a stop sign. It catches your attention by itself, but when approached, an alarm will sound and a strobe light effect will go off. While it may seem dangerous to some, the goal is to induce a kind of fear and paranoia that strobe lights create. You don't want to look directly into it, you want to just kind of back away from the situation. My project works by using the light sensors to detect the changes in light level. Since I park on the 4th floor, my car is constantly exposed to light. If someone approaches my car to give me a ticket, the darkness that is created by that persons body will cause the alarm to activate.
