Comment updates
As per the feedback from the assignment 1, the page numbering was not done
properly which is majorly important for any document. The page number in the document
was required to be from the introduction that was the page number 1 and there was significant
feedback from the professor. The proper citation was missing from the introduction part
which has been briefly mentioned to practise to provide the proper recognition to the people
and the authors who have created the articles and the journals. In the research question
section there was another issue of the citation and the issue of citation missing. In the
research question section, the proper explanation of the research question was not provided
that is not acceptable as it does not provide the overview of what question is required for the
research and the reason why the document has been created. According to the professor, there
are several typing mistakes that are required to be corrected and it makes the document less
attractive and the credibility of the document is significantly decreased with constant
happening of the typing mistakes. Other than these sections, the document was above average
for presenting the report to the business manager.

REASEARCH MEATHODS AND PROJECT DESIGN
In the initial stages of the system of the IoT, the thermal camera has been used for the
detection of any kind of pedestrians on the side of the road and prevent the collision. The GY
271 compass has been used in the system which is the compass module that has been
designed for the low field magnetic sensing with the digital interface and it is ideal for
providing the precise heading information [2]. Both of these devices has been connected with
the Arduino UNO that is the open source microcontroller board that is based on the
Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and it is developed by the Arduino.cc [3]. The
Arduino UNO utilises the Microchip ENC28J60 stand-alone Ethernet controller IC that
features the host for handing the requirements of the network protocol [4]. This data from the
microchip is displayed in the LCD using the router and it is also stored in the Windows Azure
for the further use.

In the starting phase, the process starts with the identification of the requirements,
then the literature review is done for the identification of the associated literature. After that
the proper testing of the system is done that creates the decision whether the testing process
was successful or not. If the testing process is successful then it moves to the next stage then
the analysis of the results is done and if the process is not successful then the configuration of
the system is checked again and the testing process is done again. With the proper analysis of
the results, the appropriate conclusion is derived, which is later used for the preparing of
report.

Windows Azure is used by the client. The data from the system is stored in the cloud
storage for the further use and the Azure provides the database platform for storing all the
data of the system. The literature review is done for the basic understanding of the working of
the system and the process of the working of the Azure is cleared.

The extensive literature review of the working of the Microsoft Azure has been
conducted to understand how Azure works and how the storing of the data is done.

The complete process has been studied and the extensive conclusion has been
developed for understanding the proper working of complete system. It helps in
understanding the places where the damages might arise and how the mitigation plan could
be developed.
