Team Status Report – 02/12/22

The most significant risk next few week is not being able to implement a properly working crash detection algorithm. This is simply because this is probably the most challenging part of our project to get working. It also serves as a kind of roadblock as the future components of our project rely on getting this one working well. Thus, we would like to spend a lot of time next week on this. Our contingency plan would be to move forward with an algorithm that may not be working super well, but working well enough to implement future components, and then go back and try to retrain / redo the initial crash detection algorithm. Other than that, we have done a lot of research on the various components of our project, such as the hardware to purchase, the data and neural network / algorithms to use to train for crash detection, and formal / algorithmic ways to think about traffic rerouting. We definitely need to spend some time collecting our thoughts and start implementing what we have in mind. There are no changes to the schedule / future plans.
