Smart Roads Project

• (Group Names Go Here)

2
Introduction

• Driving on todays roads is dangerous
• On average, one person dies for every fifty cars
  on the roads each year.
• Over 35,000 people each year

3
Introduction

• Drivers often need to perform many different
  tasks
• These tasks cause distractions
• Distracted drivers can be dangerous
• Many of the tasks drivers perform can be
  automated
• Automating tasks eliminates human error, and
  helps drivers focus on road conditions

4
Introduction

• Automating driving tasks is not a new idea
• The US government sponsors an intelligent car
  race in the Mojave desert each year
• Cars must drive themselves a set distance through
  difficult, off-road terrain
• This project focuses on supporting drivers
  instead of automatically piloting vehicles

5
What Needs To Be Done?

• Cars need to automatically engage safety
  features, such as Anti-Lock Brakes and
  Four-Wheel-Drive.
• Cars need to alert the driver to possible delays
  and dangerous conditions
• Cars need to recognize different drivers
  automatically, and remember driver-specific
  settings

6
What Needs To Be Done?

• Cars need to monitor and maintain their internal
  temperature without human support
• Cars need to automatically plot the best route to
  a desired destination
• When a route is no longer preferable, cars need
  to alert drivers and find the new best route

7
How Will It Work?

• What you are about to see is a very high-level
  overview of the project
• More detailed explanations and diagrams are
  available in the project report
