Month: May 2019

We consolidated all of our testing results so we can have easy to read statistics at our demo.

Finished our poster for demo day.

Prepared our setup for our demo activity:

• Bike on a trainer
• One video showing our testing videos
• One video showing the POV bike riding experience
• One screen showing our overall product statistics, such as reaction times, battery life, waterproof rating, etc.

We started writing our final report as well.

Put together the final presentation and prepared to present the slides. I also gave the oral presentation for CycleSafe on Monday.

We did more testing this week, especially focusing on fixing our blind spot detection and smoothing algorithms to avoid random flickering for alerts. We rode the bike around many parts of Pittsburgh on real streets, and have good footage to review. We will also have to analyze these videos for testing data in our final report.

We are preparing for the demo, and putting together videos/graphics/demo activities that will be fun for the audience to participate in on Monday.

• Tested blind spot detection multiple times. Had to think about the algorithm and try different things because some of the methods for blind spot detection we were using weren’t performing well.
• Implemented blinking for turn signals and potentially for proximity sensors as well.
• Improved the brake light algorithm to be smoother.
• Took the bicycle and jacket out for an actual use test run.
