Project Outline/Description
The “Design and Implementation of Black Box using Accelerometer and Accidental Identification in Multimodal Transport” project aims to create a low-cost, efficient and reliable system for accident identification and data collection in multimodal transport vehicles. The system would use an accelerometer sensor to detect accidents and a black box to record data such as vehicle speed, location, and other relevant information.
The project will begin with the design and selection of hardware components such as the accelerometer sensor, microcontroller, and memory storage. The accelerometer sensor will be used to detect accidents and the microcontroller will be responsible for processing the sensor data and storing it in the memory storage.
Next, the software for the system will be developed, including the sensor driver, communication stack, and algorithms for data analysis. This would also include the integration of GPS module to record the location of the vehicle during the accident.
Once the system is fully functional, it will be tested and debugged to ensure that it is functioning properly. After that the system will be deployed in a real-world scenario in the selected multimodal transport vehicles. This includes installation of the system in the vehicles, as well as training for the operators on how to use the system.
Throughout the project, students will learn about various technologies, such as accelerometer sensor, microcontroller, memory storage, and GPS, as well as the application of these technologies in the field of accident identification and data collection in multimodal transport vehicles. Additionally, they will gain practical experience in project development, from requirement gathering, designing, implementation, testing and deploying the system.
