Trade Off Analysis

A trade off analysis was used to distinguish which of the two designs is

more efficient-cost, significantly practical and sufficient for the device-making.

The parameters included in the constraints are substantial for the device-

making and to pose strengths and identify weaknesses of the device. Standards

are used to indicate the quality of the materials used in the device-making. The

method used to measure both strengths and weaknesses of the design is Pugh

Matrix. It would allow the comparison of both design candidates leading unto

the best design that meets the demanded criteria.

Sensor

When birds flock the treated area, the motion sensors would recognize

the presence of birds and thus, initializes the system. The Raspberry Pi will

begin the first phase of deterring by releasing a pre-recorded frequency of 4-

kHz through the speaker. After a specified delay, the second phase of deterring

begins with the relay module activated by the Raspberry Pi to release the

electric shock made from the circuit of electric bug swatter. Both stages shall
be recorded by the Raspberry Pi’s data logging system. The purpose of the

humidity sensor is to control the power of the whole system to make it

dependent on the gathered temperature and humidity data. The data logging

system will be readily available through the attached TFT module on the

Raspberry Pi. The system can also be manually controlled to power up or down

using the TFT module.

-Bug Swatter -China-made fly swatter -needs recharging

Three factors are considered in the constraint under sustainability:

namely, Life Expectancy, Performance under Heavy Usage and Maintenance.

Life Expectancy specifies the functionality of the system or device in the

course of time. Performance under heavy usage identifies the level of

effectiveness the system or device with its output at maximum work.

Maintenance refers to the duties needed to keep the quality of the device.

ISO/IEC 19395:2015 is the standard for the performance of the

components of the system. The standard discusses the management of its

identified considerations to yield quality service and efficiency. It give

information on the communication of sub-systems, the control of the output

and variables and the efficiency of data resource management system.

Name of constraint: Economical

Parameter Standards Description

Marketable
-Microprocessor, -Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 7” -costly of all devices but highly
TFT Module TFT display marketable

-Transducer -HC-SR04, PIR motion -transducer modules are

Modules sensor module basically cheap but reliable

-Speaker -FanTech GS733 - marketability is high

-Bug Swatter -China-made fly swatter - marketability is low

Availability
-Microprocessor, -Raspberry Pi 3 B+, HC- -available nationally

-TFT Module -7” TFT display -low availability due to high

costs
-Speaker, Bug - FanTech GS733, -available locally

-Bug Swatters -China-made fly swatter -rechargeable 9V battery

 Three factors are considered in the constraint under economical: namely,

Marketable, Availability and Power Consumption. Marketable identifies the

capacity of the device to attract customers. Availability means the quality of

being obtained at any circumstances while power consumption identifies the

power source required by the device.

The components are highly power-efficient and available yet a few of

them are costly.

Name of constraint: Health and Safety

Parameter Standards Description

Human Safety
-Battery -IEC 62133-2:2017 -information on battery safety

-Bug Swatters -IEC 60364-1:2005 -basis for safety in electrical

installations to reduce hazards
from shocks and other injuries
Animal Safety
-Battery -IEC 62133-2:2017 -information on battery safety

-Bug Swatters -IEEE 1264-1993 -animal deterrents and its

efficiency on interruption of
customer services and other
general concerns specified
Lastly, two factors are considered in the constraint under health and

safety: namely, Human Safety and Animal Safety.

There are only two considerable hazardous components of the system:

the battery and the bug swatter circuit for the electric shock. The battery will be

based on IEC 62133-2:2017 standard in which it contains general information

on handling and precautionary measures of different types of batteries. It

identifies the intended use of batteries and possible misuse. Regarding

electrical system safety precautions, IEC 60364-1:2005 will be the source of

appropriate management of electrical devices. It also contains the accurate

installation procedures in residential areas and commercial premises.

Requirements, rules of the design and verifications of electrical installations are

given under this standard.

For environmental concerns, the same standard is used for batteries.

However, IEEE 1264-1993 is used for animal deterring systems. It contains

informative topics regarding different animals and animal deterrents, cause-

and-effect scenarios and appropriate handling of electrical systems against

animals.

Sensor Application

The second design had almost the exact system process with the first

design, however, to attain an electric shock output, a commercialized bird

deterrent shock tape shall be used which is powered by AC supply and a

created software application will be used to read the data logs.

The SD card installed on the Raspberry Pi would be programmed to be

used as memory for the data logging system and will be unmounted from the
Raspberry Pi and inserted unto the CPU to access the memory through the

software application.

Deterrent for risks prevention
The commercial bird deterrent still complies the same standard under

performance under heavy usage, its life expectancy is higher than the bug

swatter circuitry but its maintenance is considerably high. Nonetheless, other

parameters considered under this constraint is the same with the first design.

The second design is costly due to the replacement of commercial bird

deterrent that cost hundreds of dollars. Its availability is critically low

nationally that its marketability is apparently low, too. The other parameters

described in the table above remains the same.
