Virtual Traffic signs Midterm Presentation Students : David Eyal Gidi Handaly Semester : Spring 2004 one semester project Instructor : Idan Kats Technion – Israel Institute Of Technology Electrical Engineering Department 15/04/04

Project definition The purpose of the project is to establish system which helps a driver by acknowledging him about near traffic signs (If not driving properly) using exists platform of Motorola based on GPRS & GPS technology.

Platforms in use g18 - The g18 is consist of GPS and SGM modules. - The GPS module tracks 8 satellite signals and calculate the geographic positioning, velocity and direction. - The GSM module is a wireless communication device via cellular network.

G18 evaluation board The EV provides DC and controls to the g18 and convert the AT commands to RS232 levels and allows communication with the computer.

Work plain 1.G-18 Studing and testing the G-18 over both his GSM and GPS modules. 2. Building Data Base of the Technion “road map” and define four major intersection at it. 3. Using the platform – connected to Laptop computer at driving.
