Problem Description:
Description of the project:
The foremost objective of this project is the development of a new simple mobile based
driver assistance application for the drivers of the automobiles. Most of the drivers of the can use
this new mobile based application which will be developed using the android technology (Yoo et

3DRIVER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
al., 2018). The new software will be very much compatible with most of the mobile devices
which are used in our society (Son, Choi & Ahn, 2017). This user friendly application can be
very much useful to be controlled. The navigation options of this software must be controlled by
the manager in an organized manner. Anti-brake laws as well as the adaptive cruise control can
be the other specification of this driver assistance system. Both the structured as well as the
unstructured road edge detection can be detected using the driver assistance systems (Naranjo et
al., 2018). The speed limit warnings which will be a part of this driver assistance system will be
integrated with the Google map. The Google map will be used in this drive assistance software
which will be assisting the drivers in showing the speed limits of the cards (Otaegui, 2018). The
existing car mapping services can also be significantly improved after the incorporation of this
new mobile-based software. Warning signs to the drivers can be easily given using this mobile-
based software.
Importance of the project
The driver assistance system can be very much important for the drivers of the
automobile industry, which will aim of the vehicle driver while driving. The car safety as well as
the road safety both can be managed in an organized manner using the driver assistance systems
(Meiling et al., 2016). The vehicle systems can be improved after the incorporation of the driver
assistance systems. It can also be said that the use of the driver assistance applications can also
be used to reduce the road fatalities which is increasing at an alarming rate in our society these
days.
The use of driver assistance application can be very much important to minimize the error
made by the drivers. Most of the collisions can be easily detected using the specifications of the
driver assistance systems (Manuel et al., 2018). The vehicle can be controlled in a detailed

4DRIVER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
manner using the driver assistance systems as well. There are lots of issues and difficulties faced
by the drivers of the modern mobile which can be purposefully solved using the driver assistance
software.
Business requirements
The dash came of this camera can be synced with the camera of the drivers of the
automobiles. The distance between the car of the user with the other moving and non-moving
cars in the streets can be done using the software application. Whenever the car will exceed the
speed limit the users of the mobile application will be notified (Lim & Bräunl, 2019). The
distance between the car and the object of the footpaths can also be identified using the camera
application of the mobile-based application. The speed of the other vehicles can also be
determined using this new software (Zeng, Hu & An, 2018). The safe distance which has to be
maintained by the driver from the other vehicles can also be determined using this new driver
assistance software. This software can also be very much useful to understand the minimum
distance which has to be maintained by the drivers of the automobiles.
Augmented Reality will be considered in this prototype as well as it will be very
much helpful to for the registration of the object which will be airing on the screen of the mobile
devices. Mobile augmented reality can be defined as the new technology which helps in
overlying the digital information to the users of the mobile devices (Hosseini, 2018). Numerous
business modes and business patterns will be used during the incorporation of the Augmented
Reality in this software. The registration of the traffic signals are also done using the advanced
specification of the Augmented Reality (AR). The usage pattern of AR can be extensively used
in the mobile-based software. This application can be very much important to understand the
overlapping speed of each of the vehicles, this factor can hugely contribute to decrease the

5DRIVER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
number of road accidents which is a very significant concern in our society (Zhao et al., 2019).
The speed of the vehicle which reduces during the edge of the roads and turning also be
determined using the new mobile-based software. The latitude as well as the longitude of the cars
can also be improved using the driverless systems. A gentle reminder should be provided to the
users whenever the car breaches any of the protocols.
All the shops and food malls which are bookmarked by the users of the mobile devices
should be detected using the driver assistance vehicles. The probable distance between the
current location of the car and the final destination of the card can also be identified by the users
of this mobile-based application (Hiremath, Wani, & Patil, 2019). The entire GPS settings can be
managed in a professional manner for this software. This software will be synced with major
social media platfir6sm such as YouTube where the users can access video as well as songs.
There will be a record button which will be very much useful to store the files which will
be containing all the essential data files. GPS speed in kilometre per hour will be the most
important business requirement of this driver assistance software. All the car tracking activities
can be seen by the users using this software. Scanning activities is the other most important
business requirement of this project.
The change of lines and tracks in the road as well as in the highways can be
monitored using this software as well, thus it can be said that this software can play a huge in
maintaining the civil rights in a modern city (Guettier eta al., 2016). The gap between two cars
standing parallel to each should be tracked using the new driver assistance systems.

This application should be understanding the expectation of the consumers of the
automobile industry in the first place as it will help to enhance the facilities which are discussed
in the above sections of this paper.
Project Methodology and Product Analysis:
Every software development procedure must be following a category of project
management methodology such as the agile project management methodology, scrum project
management, Kanban project management methodology, lean project management methodology,
waterfall project management methodology, and six sigma project management methodology.
Scrum project management process will be used for the development of this user friend mobile
based driver assistant application.
The Scrum project management methodology can be very much useful used to manage as
well as monitor each phase of the software development. It can also be said that this project
management framework can be very much important to understand the complexities of the
development of this prototype (Giesbrecht et al., 2017). Detailed description of the product also
be monitored in a useful manner using the scrum project management framework. Self-
organization is the other advantage of using the scrum project management in this particular
project.
The scrum project management methodology can be very much important to
monitor each phase of design of a simple prototype. The needs and requirements of the
customers of this driver must be understood in the first place using the scrum project
management framework (Cabrall et al., 2019). All the team member of this project can be
monitored and analysed using this project management methodology as well. Any kind of

7DRIVER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
modifications may be needed during the development of this mobile based user friendly software
can be done in an organized manner suing the scrum project management methodology (Brown
& Ulsoy, 2017). The activities as well as the performance of each of the stakeholders of this
project such as the designers as well as the developers of this project can be tracked using this
project management methodology. The roles and responsibilities of each of the stakeholders of
this project can be organized in a useful manner using scrum project management as well.
Engineering process design can be very much important to analyse this software. It can
also be said that parameter such as the loading time of the servers and availability of the software
(Aranjuelo et al., 2018). Each component of the product will be subjected to both unit testing as
well as alpha testing procedure to understand the bus as well as the errors of the new product.
Product breakdown, system engineering, value engineering, value analysis and the functional
analysis are the key techniques which will be used to analyse this new mobile based drives
assistance software.
Detailed Description of Prototype:
The prototype is developed for allowing the client seeing what the final product will look
like. The prototypes shows that as soon as the app is opened it starts scans the road using the
mobile camera. As all the processing is done in the phone, the output of the video and
performance of the application will depend on the device. The prototype has three parts such as
screen where scanned road is shown, settings where various options are configured and recorded
video list.
The prototype allows the user to record video when using the application. As the video
recording option is in-built in the application other than road scanning output nothing is shown in

8DRIVER ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
the video. The user can stop the recording and access the video list. These video cannot be
shared from this application. The user can open and share the video list in and from the folder.
The application scans the road signs such as traffic signal, zebra crossing, pedestrians
crossing roads and many other signs. The application reads aloud the signs and instruct the driver
as it is easy to miss out few road side signs. The application will also analyse the congestion and
inform about the speed limit. The system will also show the current speed of the vehicle based on
the GPS speed tracking.
Technologies Used:
There are different categories of technologies which will be used in this project such as
Artificial Intelligence, Image processing, Augmented Reality, and Android application
development.
