Early Pedestrian Detection for Driving: IOT Project Report and Design

This report details a student project focused on developing an early pedestrian detection system for the driving industry using IoT technology. The project aims to enhance road safety by preventing collisions, particularly when turning or reversing. The report includes an analysis of the project's background, goals, and objectives, as well as a comprehensive literature review. It outlines the project's requirements, specifications, and design, including the use of a thermal imaging camera, GY 271 compass, Arduino UNO, and Windows Azure for data storage and processing. The report also features a Gantt chart for project management, individual research approaches by team members, and a detailed budget. The project's design utilizes block diagrams to illustrate system architecture. The team's responsibilities are clearly defined, and the report addresses feedback from previous assignments, such as page numbering and citation issues. The document provides a detailed overview of the project's methodology, implementation, and expected outcomes, demonstrating the application of IoT technology to improve driving safety.

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.
