Problem Statement
The escalading cost of close proximity driving, intersection collisions or rear end collisions due to driver’s unawareness to the environment surrounding them has an adverse financial affect on insurance cost and repairs of vehicles for society.
Abstract
The purposed motivation is a implementation of current cruise control and radar technology that measures speeds and location of objects directly in front of vehicle to warn the driver of impending danger. This implementation is known as the intelligent cruise control (ICC). The ICC will allow current cruise control users the added convenience and safety of preventing highway rear end accidents. The ICC uses an audio indicator (buzzer) and visual indicator (light indicator) as preemptive measures to warn the driver of problems areas in front of him. A CPU will compute the data gathered from the radar to light up the indicators when warranted and slow down the vehicle as a last resort. The ICC is not designed to change driving habits of drivers.
Risk and Contingencies
External forces may jam radar
Chaotic wave radar uses random waves thus limiting the possibility for external forces jamming the siganl
Suppliers and Contractors may move or go out of Business
We will have a backup company for every supplier and contractor.
We have added about 10% “padding fund” to cover any increase amount for services render
Voiding of Warranty
We will only brake the warranty of the cruise control unit. We will offer our own warranty to cover the length of time for the original warranty not to excide one year, if if not warranty is present, we will offer one for 6 months.
Liability
Liability will be covered for liability insurance of our product
Goals
Assist all drivers in the maximum use of cruise control for connivance and safety
