Project Title

Real Time Traffic Control System (RTTCS)

Abstract

This section should be a couple lines to describe what your project does.

RTTCS converts our cyclic time-based traffic light system into an efficient queue based system where

intersections are managed by the physical presence of vehicles rather than timed cycles. It reduces the

amount of useless-repetitive braking and/or idling by detecting real time traffic flow and making a

decision based on the environmental inputs of the detection system.

Objectives & Introduction

Show list of your objectives. This section includes the high level details of your project. You can

write about the various sensors or peripherals you used to get your project completed.

Objectives:

-Learn and incorporate the various RTOS resources for overall system design -Map out the software state machine diagram -Design RTTCS physical layer -Compile a Bill of Materials (BOM) -Manufacture the prototype and test for reliability -Record and document results for analysis and reports -Develop product proposal presentation (Powerpoint, Video, Website/Report)

Team Members & Responsibilities

• Brian Josefowicz
• Jonathan Arroyo

Schedule

Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the

project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the

planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if

they are doing a similar project.

Parts List & Cost

Give a simple list of the cost of your project broken down by components. Do not write long stories

here.

Sensors 4 x IR sensor

General Hardware x Bolts x Screws x Nuts

Materials (x) ft - hook-up wire (x) ft - Road tracks

Processes Components (Resistors, Capacitors, LEDs, Microcontrollers, etc.) 2 x SJOne Development Board 4 x Set of LED's (Red, Yellow, Green)

Of Shelf parts / Tools 2 x Vehicle Controllers

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-

sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can

discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk

about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are

using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do

not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are

showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you

can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory

onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your

project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

My Issue #1

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what"

part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your

knowledge?

Project Video

Upload a video of your project and post the link here.
