  1. Intersection Control Hayley Gilson, Antony Sanchez, CrisKoutsougeras ET 493 Fall 2018

  2. Goal of Project: • Develop Microcontroller-controlled intersection system that will use a camera and image processing software to determine traffic and use that to determine right-of-way.

  3. Purpose of Traffic Lights

  4. Prior Designs for “Smart Intersections”

  5. Why Use Camera-Controlled System?

  6. Semester Goals:

  7. Timeline

  8. Parts needed: • Arduino Uno controller (already acquired) • Raspberry Pi controller • Two cameras: One compatible with Arduino, the other with Raspberry Pi • OpenCV software

  9. Work Plan

  10. Research • Traffic Lights and the improvement of them • How they work • How to improve them via camera usage • Main focus of research for the semester • Failsafes • It’s foolish to believe that things won’t go wrong with a system • What can be done to prevent catastrophe if the system malfunctions? • Smart Detection • The capability to anticipate what could happen • Not just reacting to current situation, but predicting what can happen as a result • Communication between intersections?

  11. Construction • Setting up system • Two systems will be built: One with Arduino, one with Raspberry Pi • Functionally similar (Arduino will be somewhat simpler in terms of potential functions) • Must be able to run and constantly analyze images from a camera • Must function independently • Using OpenCV • Open-source image detection program • Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi • Consists of multiple libraries

  12. Construction Hayley Gilson: Railroad Intersection, Arduino Antony Sanchez: 4-way Intersection, Raspberry Pi Setup Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi camera and OpenCV Research traffic light algorithm Use OpenCV on Raspberry Pi to do simple image processing • Setup Arduino and camera and OpenCV • Research train intersection functionality • Use OpenCV on Arduino to do simple image processing
