Collingwood, ON [31 July 2024] – The Town is excited to be chosen by the University of Guelph to launch a new Smart Door Access System Study that uses a mobile app to open doors at the Town Hall and Library east entrance.
The study aims to test a smart access system with a mobile app in a real setting to see how well it works, how reliable and safe it is, and how users feel about it. The device was researched and developed in the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph.
Community members are invited to participate in a three-month research study that involves using the system and commenting on its performance, functionality, and impact. Interested in participating? Please visit the following link: https://uoguelph.eu.qualtrics.com or scan the QR code on the posters at the doors to Town Hall or the Library to register.
Once you agree to participate and sign the Consent Form, you will be provided with information on how to download the application onto your mobile phone and start using it to open a selection of doors that are a part of the study. At the end of the study, a survey will be sent to participants from the University of Guelph.
If you have any questions about the Study, please get in touch with Dr. Hussein Abdullah by emailing [email protected]
This pilot project does not affect the existing accessible doors at Town Hall or the Collingwood Public Library.
