8. Project Idea 1
This design will consist of vehicle proximity sensing with a display which will provide feedback to the operator.
Features
Sensors will be used to detect objects in the blind spots of a moving vehicle
Parking features will allow vehicle to be parked without hitting any objects
A garage mode will allow the driver to park in their desired location in the garage with ease
Audio alerts will also be offered in assistance with blind spot detection as well as parking
Main power source will be the vehicles power supply, which will be regulated.
It is a good fit for the team given the digital background of the team.

14. Project 4 Wireless Home Entry and Illumination Device
Allows the user to remotely unlock a single home entry door, while also allowing the person to light specific areas within the house before entry.
Panic button with audible alarm and strobes allows an eye catching display of sight and sound to attract the attention of neighbors in the event of an emergency situation.
Key pad entry also included with this system if the wireless remote is not readily available.
A standard key entry will also be present in the event that the wireless system does not properly function.

25. Design Project Rating Results
Project 1 Automotive Sensing: 35
Project 2 Home Security: 34
Project 3 Utility Monitoring: 36
Project 4 Keyless Entry to Home: 35

26. Selection Process
Home Security system is similar to existing design project and will not be considered
Keyless entry and illumination project involves wireless technology, this is not an area anyone in our group is familiar with
Utility monitoring is good project that would utilize our skills. We would need to think of additional features if we were going to use it
Automotive sensing is the project we are going to work on.

27. Justification This project was unanimously decided on by the team
This project would provide enough work for the entire team
This project was unique compared to previous design projects
This project would require a lot of digital design which is a strong point of the team
The only known risk of this project is finding sensors that are within our budget, short enough lead times, and have the sensing technology required to achieve the desired task

28. Automotive Sensing Design
Features
This product will detect objects present in the vehicle’s blind spot.
Our project will also provide additional features:
Precision garage parking
Parallel parking assistance
Vehicle display will alert the user of the presence of objects and identify their distance to the vehicle.
Audible alerts will be present so the driver does not need to constantly look at the display.

29. Benefits to User Improves driver awareness of vehicle on the road
Reduces collisions while driving and parking
Allows for precision garage parking

30. Intended Market Automotive application
This design would compete with existing products providing parallel parking assistance and garage parking assistance
This product would incorporate garage parking assistance, street parking, and blind spot detection.
Very few, if any, products that all these features in a single package.
