BATA_WAVE: A Wireless Keypad Solution for the Batavierenrace

In the Batavierenrace, up to 300 simultaneous runners run the race, passing through many relay points, where each runner's time is recorded and another team member runs to the next relay point. To avoid having up to 300 people clogging up the relay point while waiting for teammates, a display on top of the relay point shows the currently approaching team number. This was done by two people, with walkie-talkies and a wired keypad, which is suboptimal to say the least. BATA_WAVE improves this by making the keypad wireless, therefore requiring only one person, and by providing multiple (backup) communication links and a backup on the keypad and at the relay point.

  • CS: Design Project

    The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
