Augmented Urban Service Vector-Nissan Competition

Creating vectors of augmented infrastructure, the AUSV provides a solution to the ever growing demand for parking within the city. Its objectives lie in the unification and accessibility of urban services such as lighting, surveillance and communication.


A piezoelectric system forms the basis for elevated parking. Utilising the vehicles potential energy in its weight to produce sustainable power, a vehicle will be placed onto a gyroscopic platform. This slowly lowers throughout its stay, harnessing said energy to power street lights, hydraulic arms and surveillance equipment.
