Problem Definition

Statement:Implementation of a secure smart-system for autonomous vehicles which will reduce the

number of accidents caused by drunk driving, distracted or reckless driving, speeding, and blind-spots which allows for more productive commute times and overall safer transportation.

Year-Long Goal:Design and build two autonomous car prototypes capable of privacy aware inter-

communication

22

Design Requirements

The final implementation should have the following features:

● Adaptive speed control - 0.5 m/s adjustments ✔

● Real-time data sharing using wireless access technology ✔

● Automatic braking - Halt when foreign object is detected ✔

● Vehicle status info display - at least 2 important features ✔

● Rerouting around obstacles - < 300 ms response time ✘

● Lightweight cybersecurity features ✘

● Privacy aware communication - At least 2 levels of privacy protection ✘

Design Requirements: Compliance & Constraints

The ultimate design of AutoMoe should adhere to NHTSA and includes following features:

● Lane Keeping assist● Adaptive cruise control● Traffic jam assist● Secure communication between

devices

● Available human resources○ 2 EEs, 2 CpEs and 3 MEs

● Limited finances● Driver vehicle interface:

○ Allow override for manual control in case of emergency

● Power:○ Should use rechargeable batteries

● Compliance○ Must not infringe existing patents

Conclusions

1. We aim to meet the customers’ need for safer transportation by developing a secure

autonomous car system

2. Our final design uses a R/C car and custom track to demonstrate the functionality of

our system.

3. We have laid sufficient groundwork for the development of an autonomous car system

with a framework for communication

Future Work1. Continue to train model to operate on more complex tracks and implement more

realistic functionalitya. Rerouting around obstaclesb. Turning at intersectionc. Yielding for “pedestrians”d. Recognize and respond to traffic signals/lights

2. Further develop V2V communication to communicate more meaningful data based on added functionality of the autonomous car system

3. Develop and implement lightweight cyber-security features and privacy aware communication
