Week of 10/4/2021 - Weekly Report 5

Plans for next week:

• Resubmit Proposal

• Submit HW 3 for feedback - Analysis of Requirements

• Submit HW 4 for feedback - Decision Matrix

Group Meeting memo:

• Discussed the milestones for the project and achievable goals for each of our systems. These will be outlined in the house of quality for each system.

Project Progress:

Jacob

• Completed the Analysis of Requirements which included the house of quality for auto-parking.

• Completed decision matrix and the car for the basis of the design.

• Worked on updating the project proposal and the Gantt chart

Quinn

• Worked on finalizing group devisions and defining my personal project with in the capstone for better accountability and grading potential.

• Completed the required graphs/tables for the separate HW3 submission.

• Reviewed the autonomous land mind detecting drone capstone project to understand the methodology and materials use that failed to achieve point to point navigation.

• Nearly completed the decision matrix for the components needed for my section of the capstone.

• Re-connected with Dr.Smith to set up a meeting to go over possible module set ups for the required point to point autonomous navigation. I will also borrow modules already in school possession for testing, this coming week, to better inform the purchasing process for my section of the capstone.

Jordyn

Completed the House of Quality for object detection and avoidance. Worked on updating the project proposal and the Gantt chart. Worked on resubmitting the decision matrix for the Raspberry Pi camera.

Next week I will submit the new edition of the decision matrix for the Raspberry Pi camera with the intent to purchase and start testing with the Arduino used last year. Complete the Gantt chart and get ready to present the proposal to the department.

The marketing and engineering requirements were determined for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) feature of the smart car. There are four marketing requirements and four engineering requirements. In short, the smart car should be able to maintain at least 40" of space between it and the vehicle in front of it, as well as maintain a speed of at least 10 mph while in ACC mode. An analysis of requirements was performed and a House of Quality was created for the ACC system. A snapshot of the House of Quality can be found below. It was also determined that the smart car will utilize the Controller Area Network (CAN) bussing from the previous engineering team to allow the various systems to communicate with each other. In addition, the ACC system will re-use the TFmini lidar module from the previous year.

This week, a decision will be made for the processor to be used with the ACC system. Also, the timeline for designing, implementing, and testing the ACC feature will be determined.
