Motion Detection within a Car
Disciplines
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Abstract (300 words maximum)
Using a systematic motion detection system, it becomes possible to track the amount of motion occurring within varying areas, and assess the overall disruption and harm it can cause. Assessing the amount of movement within a car can interpret the conditions the driver is experiencing, and allow for the evaluation of the overall disruption and distress that is being tolerated. By understanding the abundance or lack of movement within an area, one can gauge the risk produced.
The overall effect passenger interactions have on a driver’s ability to maintain a decent level of security is significant.
Radar usage in junction with car systems is becoming especially prominent within automobile design. Autonomous car systems and basic car networks are incorporating radar, allowing for gesture recognition of traffic controllers and safety tracking of drivers. The goal of this project was to utilize radar and micro-doppler signatures to track movement within a car, and assess the danger produced. This design and product would ensure the driver’s atmosphere is calm and undisturbed, promoting a safer driving environment.
This procedure would include a radar system detecting the total motion, and micro-doppler signature generation to demonstrate the overall amount of motion occurring. The device utilized is the AWR6843ISK mmWave sensor provided by Texas Instruments. The software used to interpret and collect data is MATLAB.
