Feasibility Study

When we came up with the idea…Highly enthusiasticHad a hesitation, weather it would be feasibleMotivations and uncertainties

Feasibility was discussed with relevant experts in the field

We were encouragedSystem will be beneficial to the public

4

Literature SurveyExisting system, UNIROAD 1, was studied

Microcontroller chip has to be replaced to change the signal timing/patterns.

System being developed, UNIROAD 2, was studiedStill at prototype levelConfigurability and flexibility is high

5

Literature SurveyOther existing systems in the world

Autoscope [http://www.autoscope.com]http://www.novosoft-us.comIntelligent Traffic Control System – Ontario,

CanadaMany more…

Literature SurveyTheories on traffic control were studied

Presentation slides by Prof. Saman BandaraResearch papers

Requirement GatheringSources of requirements

Discussions with Dr. Chatura De. SilvaDiscussions with Mr. Shantha FernandoAppointment with Prof. Saman BandaraStudies done on existing systems

Analysed and summarised those ideas

TechnologiesImage processingComputer visionMatlab

Ideal for developing prototypesCost of change is low

C++More powerful and fast

13

Risk AnalysisProject has a fairly large scopeChallenges

To develop a computer vision based system that will function properly under any weather condition

Ambiguities about theories Difficult to clarify all the ambiguities Implementation must be started based on

assumptions

14

How We Are Going to Continue…Identified two main phases in the project

Identification and classification of traffic flowAnalysis of parameters and scheduling signal lights to

optimize traffic flowTwo of us will work on each phase independently
