Abstract

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.
