Aisha's novel invention to avoid boat accidents!

The Dhaka Times Desk Boat accidents are almost heard on stormy days. Madaripur's daughter Amira Khanom Ayesha has hit the shelves by inventing an overloading indicator to avoid accidents in boats.

Madaripur's daughter Amira Khanom Ayesha won first place in this year's science and technology fair. Along with that, the name of the educational institution has also brightened.

Ayesha Shariatpur ZH Sikdar University of Science and Technology, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, BSc Engineering 3rd year student.

Ayesha is the elder daughter of Ahsan Habib and Minara Khanam of Hamid Shikder Road, No. 1 Shakuni Mohalla, Madaripur Municipality. Ayesha passed SSC (Electronics) from Madaripur Technical School and College in 2009. After completing her diploma from Shariatpur Polytechnic Institute in 2014, Ayesha was admitted to ZH Sikdar University of Science and Technology in BSc Engineering (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) department in 2016.

On May 12-13, Amira Khanam Ayesha along with her classmate Amir Hamza invented an overloading indicator in a boat and exhibited it in the Science and Technology Fair organized at Shariatpur ZH Sikdar University of Science and Technology. It also won first place over other inventions exhibited at the fair. The Chairman of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of the same university cooperated with inspiration, talent and labor in this innovation of Aisha. Sohel Rana and lecturer. Zahirul Islam.

The work of overloading indicator to avoid accidents in the boat invented by Aisha is that if a launch or steamer carries extra passengers, it will inform the passengers through light and sound signal (alarm) that this boat is carrying extra passengers. Also, calls to a specific mobile number will also go away. The indicator circuit will continue to give this signal until the passenger or excess weight is reduced to the specified weight. At the same time the call will also go to the number set in the control room from the indicator installed on the ship.

Using this method, the launch or overloading of the boat can be known instantly through this call from any part of Bangladesh. The mobile system used will continue to serve this call. Using this system, this circuit will continuously indicate by turning on alarms and lights when the launch is carrying excess weight/passengers after a certain weight. After this, if the launch or boat sinks due to excess passengers or weight; Even then calls will continue to go from that circuit. The circuit will continue to send signals as long as the network is available. Not only that, the location before drowning can also be known through tracking by locating the number. Due to which the rescue work will be accelerated and the risk of death of the passengers will be less. Due to which the possibility of getting lost like Pinak-6 will be reduced a lot.

According to media reports, some electronic components have been used in this circuit. With which it is also very accessible due to the use of mobile systems. Bangladesh is a riverine country. Ayesha claimed that this indicator has been created keeping in mind the issue of keeping the country's navigation safe.

Ayesha told a media outlet that they have developed specific goals, willpower, imagination and talent and tried to connect them to this circuit to realize them. He also intends to add more updates and new additions in the future. So that even if the accident on the waterway cannot be completely avoided, it will be greatly reduced and the risk of life will also be reduced to a large extent. He also believes that the invented indicator circuit can play a major role in preventing boating accidents.

Amira Khanum Ayesha is also thinking of some new inventions such that in the future the boat will be overloaded and the engine will automatically stop. If a launch or a vessel sinks due to an accident due to natural calamities; Then the door of that boat will open automatically in case of emergency. This young inventor is proceeding with the research work keeping in mind the thought of such new inventions.
