After meeting and discussing our initial concept of the Object Detection project, Professor Notash gave us a few more ideas to refine our project down while also making it better and ensuring it would be a great Senior Design project. 

​

We discussed using a LIDAR sensor opposed to a Sonar Sensor for distance measuring as it has an increased range which is more practical to detect an oncoming vehicle. We also eliminated the need for sensors within the handlebars to assist with blind spot detection as the camera and LCD would take care of this. It was decided to have some sort of alert system tell the rider when a vehicle has been detected within around 120 feet. When the vehicle hit another perimeter around 30 feet, the camera should start capturing footage so the rider can ensure they can see the vehicle and move over if necessary.
