Greatly reduce accident costs
6
Why DADS?
7
Proposed Solution Requirements

• Unique system to recognize road lines
• Current technology
• Find effective and reliable sensor
• Must be at or next-to-real-time (NTRT)
• 1/200 second DADS computational requirement
• Non-intrusive
• Economical
• Software Computer Component

8
Our Objectives

• Develop Data Interpretive System (DIS)
• Identify Hardware - CPU
• Develop Software
• Suitable Audio, Visual, Tactile Alarms

9
Hardware (1 of 4) Sensors - Data Interpretive
System (DIS)

• Infrared has large robust output range
• Sensors emit light detect wavelengths of
  reflected light
• Gray-scale infrared light range will be
  established threshold
• Reflected light wavelengths have corresponding
  voltages
• Vehicle speed has no impact

10
Hardware (2 of 4) Sensors - Data Interpretive
System (DIS)

• 6 infrared sensors on a vehicle
• 3 emitters and 3 detectors per sensor
• Mounted on a small printed circuit board (PCB)

11
Hardware (3 of 4) CPU

• 32-bit RISC processor
• Tailors itself to smart automobile embedded
  solutions
• Able to perform at next-to-real-time (NTRT)

• Converts analog signal to associated voltage
  signal
• Compares to established threshold
• Sends control signal to that enables alarm system

12
Hardware (4 of 4) CPU

• To be active, speed must greater than 45 mph
  turn signal off
• Testing and simulation software - C software
  designed to simulate machine code.
• Will be used to check implementation of the
  software algorithms.

13
Software

• First layer provides sensor input and higher
  layer interface.
• Input layer has 3 modules sensor, speedometer,
  turn signal.
• Middle layer is the processing module.
• Output layer sends control signal to 5-volt relay
  to activate alarms.
• Two input conditions controlled by the software
  to reduce equipment.

14
Alarms

• Audible
• Visual
• Tactile (Physical)
• 5-volt Relay
