CS-EE Introduction The Team: –Steven Beyer (Fall Lead) –Carolyn Farris –Emily McKaig (Spring Lead) Our Supporters: –Dr. Joseph Hoffbeck (Adviser) –Dr. Tanya Crenshaw –Mr. John Turner (Industry Representative) –Mr. Keith Ehrensing (Portland Bureau of Transportation) –Mr. Charles Mooney Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Background Current System at the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBoT): Antiquated (VHS Tapes) Installation is difficult (weighs over 70 lbs) Requires frequent maintenance (lasts only 3 days between visits) Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Objectives Improve the current system: Solar power Wirelessly transmit the video feed to PBoT Smaller, lighter components Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Methods Design in the Fall Implementation in the Spring Scheduled Milestones Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Methods: Fall Project Proposal Met with Client Functional Specification Researched Components Design Document Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Methods: Spring Ordered Components Interfaced Network Device and Camera to Gumstix Power Testing Ordered Encasement Client Demonstration Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: System Architecture Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: Power Interfaced existing PBoT circuits to power the gumstix and camera Solar panel charges the battery Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: Camera LinkSprite JPEG Color Camera TTL Interface Preset commands to take a picture and receive it Can set picture size and control how often a picture is taken to optimize for client needs Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: Gumstix Processor “Brain” of the device Coordinates the receiving of the picture from the camera with sending the picture over the network Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: Gumstix Software Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Results: Storage on Base Unit The base unit is any computer with an internet connection All pictures are stored in a directory specified by the user For the client, this will be a machine at the PBoT Headquarters Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
CS-EE Conclusions We have greatly improved the device: The user can access the video feed at a remote location, as the pictures are sent Device is much lighter Other improvements for future development Smaller, lighter battery Optimize software for more frames per minute Founder’s Day University of Portland School of Engineering
