2004 CAPSTONE CDR

1. 2004 CAPSTONE CDR Team SAFE Members • Anders Fornberg • Alejandro Henriquez • Shannon Lahr • Aaron Lyons • Sean Groves Shannon

2. Presentation Overview • Project Overview • System Specification • Subsystem Design • Processor & FPGA • Power & Structures • Sensors & Motors • Current Status and Project Goals Shannon

3. Project Description • Modified RC car that can sense an accident threat and take corrective action • Detects and Prevents multiple accidents • Head on Collisions • Merging into blind spots • Backing into Stationary Objects Shannon

4. Modes of Operation • 3 Modes of operation • 1) User has complete control of the RC car. • 2) Primary: SAFE System provides audible warning when an accident is immanent. If corrective action is not taken than Safe System takes control. • 3) When accident is immanent, SAFE System takes immediate action and assumes control from the user. Shannon
