3. o Many bicyclists are injured due to car related accidents on the road each year. o If a bicyclist could be warned of rear approaching vehicles, this could greatly reduce number of bicyclist involved in accidents. o Primary Goal - To design and develop a low cost vehicle alert accessory for cyclists

5. o The device must communicate via the ANT+ protocol to an Edge 500 Garmin head unit o Must be able to detect cars going from speeds 10mph-70mph o Must detect vehicles in the range 1m-100m behind the rear of the bicycle

6. o Unsuitable detection hardware o Unsuitable detection accuracy o Loss of Team Member

7. o Hough Line Detection o Optical Flow o Haar Object Detection (Principle Component Analysis Replacement)

11. Edge 500 Head Unit ANT+ Tranceiver Beagleboard -XM H1214FICS Lens 5M MT9P031 Camera Board Lithium Ion Battery

13. o Max current Draw : 900mA o Lithium polymer ion (3.7V) battery: 2000mAh

14. o ANT+ Transceiver communicates with head unit on Windows o ANT+ Transceiver recognized by Linux

17. o Feb 29 th : Interlock done o March 7th: working prototype on advisor’s desk o Image capturing on Beagleboard o ANT+ to connect with Garmin head-unit via Beagleboard o March 20th: Enclosure for the components
