Our Project

• Design an Adaptive Cruise Control System– Safer Cruise Control System– Decrease driver irritation and frustration– Accomplishes these goals by detecting speed

and distance of car ahead

Feasibility• Budget Feasibility: All Parts donated

– Radar - TRW– NeoVi - Johnson Controls– LCD/Touch Screen, PLC, Laser - Highlight Industries– DE2 Board - Calvin– Dyno (for testing)– Chrysler Sebring - Bryan Bandstra

Feasibility• Market Feasibility

– Real Examples: Jaguar, Mercedes

– Conclude there is a need and a market

• Technical Feasibility – Assured by JCI experts– Group Members with

experience with parts

Engineering Analysis• Meeting with JCI: system design• Research of Bus System

– CAN, J1850– NeoVi card solution

• Did Calculations of Speed, distance, maximum angle– Safe driving distance– Turn radius– Speed max and min

• Decision Matrices

Design Norms

• Transparency • Stewardship• Justice• Caring• Trust• Humility

Obstacles Overcome

• Acquired all necessary parts!!!• Radar eliminates the need for prototype

alternatives• Bus system compatibility

Obstacles Still Remaining

• Turns/Hills Issues• Programming• Getting all parts to work together as a full

system• Installing into a specific car• FCC licensing

– Applied for but not yet acquired

Decisions

• LCD/Touch Screen• Radar• DE2 Board• Speed Range (50 to 80 mph)• Following Distance (3 seconds)• Warning using LCD and Sound• No Brakes

Significant Changes

• Use of DE2 board instead of PLC– More digital options– Faster

• Acquisition of Parts
