Mohsen Azizi is an assistant professor in the School of Applied Engineering and Technology at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. From 2010 to 2013, he was an R&D engineer at Aviya Tech Inc. and Pratt & Whitney Canada Inc., Longueuil, Canada, where he designed and developed control and fault diagnosis systems for jet engines. His research has been focused on decentralized control and fault diagnosis techniques in microgrids, renewable energy systems, mechatronics, and aerospace.
Studies have shown that there is a 10% fatality rate when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle moving at the speed of 20 (mph), and the rate scales up to 90% at the speed of 40 (mph). Moreover, the residential areas with radar speed monitors are shown to be safer in terms of accident probability. Motivated by these statistics, in this senior design project a speed radar system is designed and developed. The components, functionalities, and objectives of the project are listed as follows: (i) A camera will detect and identify a vehicle and distinguish it from other objects; (ii) a radar sensor will measure the speed of the vehicle; (iii) a microprocessor (Raspberry Pi) will acquire the speed data, send it to the display, and analyze and log it in a server; and (iv) a stand-alone solar Photovoltaic system will provide electrical power to and guarantee the continuous operation of the entire system. This senior design project was conducted as a senior design project by a group of undergraduate students in the electrical and computer engineering technology program.
