Problem Statement Many bicyclists are injured due to car related accidents on the road each year. If a bicyclist could be warned of rear approaching vehicles, this could greatly reduce number of bicyclist involved in accidents. Primary Goal - To design and develop a low cost vehicle alert accessory for cyclists
Functional Specs The device must communicate via the ANT+ protocol to an Edge 500 Garmin head unit Must be able to detect cars going from speeds 10mph-70mph Must detect vehicles in the range 1m-100m behind the rear of the bicycle
Algorithm Implementation Hough Line Detection Optical Flow Haar Object Detection (Principle Component Analysis Replacement)
Hardware ANT+ Tranceiver 5M MT9P031 Camera Board Edge 500 Head Unit Lithium Ion Battery H1214FICS Lens Beagleboard -XM
Battery Update • Max current Draw : 900mA • Lithium polymer ion (3.7V) battery: 2000mAh
ANT+ Update • ANT+ Transceiver communicates with head unit on Windows • ANT+ Transceiver recognized by Linux
Project Milestones Feb 29th: Interlock done March 7th: working prototype on advisor’s desk Image capturing on Beagleboard ANT+ to connect with Garmin head-unit via Beagleboard March 20th: Enclosure for the components
