Potential Risks and Mitigation Strategies

While we are feeling more confident with the optimization algorithm and the SUMO simulation platform, our camera situation is still uncertain due to an inability to connect to CMU-SECURE. We’ll be ordering a BLE camera to test our vehicle detection code with in order to see if that’s a better option (since it has less dependence on factors outside of our control.) If we can’t get reliable results with actual camera frames, we’ll just demonstrate our system on traffic camera footage.

Changes to System Design

Our schedule has been changed due to camera and RPi setup issues, and also because we’ll need to train our own Haar classifier. The updated schedule is here. Other than that, the optimization algorithm is mostly on schedule with a little bit of delay due to additional time needed to simulate the traffic in SUMO.

Overall Takeaways and Progress

• Obtained traffic camera footage to test object detection algorithm
• First iteration of object detection algorithm completed
  • Second iteration in progress (new classifier)
• Reolink camera setup complete (but not connected to CMU-SECURE)
• Raspberry Pi setup in progress
• SUMO integration in progress
