Addressing Previous Concerns DeliverableFalse Positives Distraction Compatibility/ Calibration

Project Scope Removed V2V communication from project Determined infeasible Hope to add in future capstones Focus on delivering proof- of-concept prototype by end of year System will serve as foundation Other projects can build upon this One system for vehicle to detect potential collisions and warn driver Can operate as standalone

Updated Block Diagram

Parts  Warning systems parts (RPi, BBB, Arduino) have arrived so we can start writing code and wiring  Ultrasonic Sensors  Delphi ESR currently purchasing, but tricky ordering process

Center for Automation  Thursday, November 20  Visiting to discuss our approach and ask questions relating to false positive removal

False Positive Removal  System Engages only at >30 mph Alarms won’t be going off while sitting in traffic  Objects will sound an alarm for side collision only if they are within a very close radius  Objects must be detected for a certain amount of time before any alert sounds

HDMI Display  Similar to a GPS screen  Sits off to the side of the driver Only be needed when driver is changing lanes  Alerts on the display will be minimally obtrusive except during imminent collisions  Buttons available to change screen settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)

Vehicle Calibration  Preset calibrations for different types of vehicles  First time owner turns the system on, they choose the vehicle and the system saves their choice.  System made for commercial automobiles (Pickup Trucks, Vans, Cars, etc.)
