Problem Validated Problem Identified Inattentive and drowsy driving is a leading cause of fatal traffic crashes.
Economic costs for traffic crashes is $150 billion annually. • Accident resulting in a fatality - $2,723,000 per incident • Non-incapacitating crash - $48,000 per incident • Property damage only crash - $4,500 per incident Example - Before-After Data for Rumble Strips in NY State • Prior - 565 ROR crashes, 360 injuries, & 14 fatalities average per year. • After - 117 ROR crashes, 142 injuries, 2.5 fatalities average per year. • Total savings per year - $58,000,000 Potential Benefit SAVE LIVES! Greatly reduce accident costs
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
Scope • Vehicle must travel 45 mph or greater for system to engage • Idle when turn signal is on • Unable to detect obstructed lines Our Objectives • Develop Data Interpretive System (DIS) • Identify Hardware - CPU • Develop Software • Suitable Audio, Visual, & Tactile Alarms
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
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)
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
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.
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.
Wiring • Standard 12-gauge wire and splicing connecters. Alarms • Audible • Visual • Tactile (Physical) • 5-volt Relay
