ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Intent – Capstone Design Project is completed in last two semester of EET/TET undergraduate curriculum Must be able to complete all required technical coursework by the end of ENTC 420 semester Student validates prereqs via Prerequisite Certification Form (PCF) Incomplete/inaccurate PCF will result in student being dropped from ENTC 419 Must have satisfactorily completed ENTC 369

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Must be completed by end of Spring 2016 semester ESET is dropping ENDG 407/408 as an approved Tech Elective – request can be made to ESET ESET has not offered two Tech Electives in the same semester Need to have approved plan to complete technical course work

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Taking five courses during capstone semesters is not advisable Make sure your team is aware of the number of courses you are taking and the amount of effort you will be able to expend on Capstone (both semesters) Memo signed by all team members Not satisfying all requirments for ESET 420 will require you to retake ESET 419 with a new team

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Capstone Design students SHALL must create a project team of from three to four members, selected a team name, and a team manager. This action SHALL be documented in a formal memorandum delivered to the ESET Program Assistant in hard copy. The memo SHALL include the team name, the team members, the team manager, and contact information ( and cell #) for all members. In addition, a short description of the project scope should be included in this memo. The Web folder password SHALL be hand- written in the bottom right corner of this document. A copy of the team memo (without the password) SHALL be posted to the team web site. The team manager must also the course instructor a soft copy of this memo from the account using the address that will be assigned to the project team for all correspondence from the instructor. Both hardcopy and softcopy of the document must be provided by the due date. Please note that the scope of your project must be consistent with the number of members in your team – choosing four members will necessitate that more work will be accomplished during the ENTC 420 semester. Late or incomplete submissions will reduce the team’s/student’s grade for this assignment.

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Each student is required to develop two Quad Charts that briefly describe a potential senior design project. The Quad Charts are due by 3PM on Wednesday of the third week of class. The Quad Charts must be provided in hard copy and be ed to the course instructor so that the is received on or before the due date/time. Late or incomplete submissions will reduce the student’s grade for this assignment. Although two or more students may generate Quad Charts on similar projects, each Quad Chart must be an independent effort and not utilize or contain any information generated by another person or source. The format for the Quad Chart is provided with an example in this presentation. No variations from this format will be accepted. Hard copies should be printed in color.

Features Determine orientation of vehicle by the knowledge of a digital compass inside the vehicle. Accommodate up to 250 vehicles at intersection using a traffic light Wi-Fi server. Independent street light population based on vehicle orientation via in-car Wi-Fi transmitter. Efficient state machine calculates each light state time by an estimating algorithm. Smoother traffic flow created by real time intercommunication of intersections. Technical Approach Phase 1: Contact Texas Transportation Institute(TTI) to research traffic issues including flow and traffic light algorithms. Phase 2: Develop a high capacity Wi-Fi system to receive vehicle information and orientation. Create a more effective traffic light state machine through intelligent algorithms. Phase 3: Verify, install, and test the system using multiple vehicle devices, 4-way intersections, and a predetermined route including 3 traffic lights. Phase 4: Demonstrate the functional prototype to TTI. ROM Timeline Phase 1: 2 weeks – thorough research: $15k Phase 2: 8 weeks – Develop working prototype: $40k Phase 3: 4 weeks – Verification and testing: $25k Phase 4: 10 weeks – Production stage: $50k Total Cost: $130k Total Development Time: 24 weeks Deliverables Wi-Fi server to accommodate each intersection Receives vehicle info and communicates with other intersections Inexpensive digital compass and transmitter for vehicles Traffic Orientation Station Wi-Fi Contact: Ima Inventor For Information, Contact: (210) Date: August 25, 2008
