Project 1 (Mini Project on Vehicle Direction Detection
I AM A STUDENT OF LIVE BATCH-16
Mini Project - Vehicle Direction Determination
Aim/Objective of Mini Project:
- Development of MATLAB Simulink model for Vehicle Direction Detection as per requirement specified.
- Tag the requirements to the simulink model; tagging requirement 1 & requirement 2 to their corresponding subsystems
- Creation of Data Dictionary ,perform Software-in-loop(SIL) and model-in-loop(MIL) teast & code generation
CONCEPT:
Identifying the direction of the vehicle is one of the important & diverse features in Autonomous driving & Advanced Driver Assistance Features. This particular sub-feature of identifying the direction of vehicle is basically identifying the direction the vehicle is taking based on the camera input.
Camera reads the road signs & stores into its memory with unique values for left turn, right turn & straight drive. Depending on the direction it is taking, final indication is given to the driver – as an indication if he is driving in the recommended direction or not.
Vehicle Direction Determination can also be coupled along - side features like GPS systems to identify whether the vehicle is reaching its destination in an optimized manner.
This sub feature can also be used along with Lane Detection, Highway Warning, Ramp Entry / Exit in Wrong Way Detection etc
Solution:
Step1:
create new sldd file and then access it from model explorer

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIMUINK MODEL:
Vehicle direction detection subsystem

Requirement_1 subsystem:

- Steering wheel input as yaw rate (Signal name: SteeringWheel_YawDegreeInput) is the input for this system.
- This is compared against 3 angular values, one each for left turn, right turn & straight drive (Calibration Values: Right_Turn_AngularLimit, Left_Turn_AngularLimit, Straight_Drive_Steering_Angle) to say which specific direction the steering wheel is turning towards.
- Use switch blocks to compare & develop this requirement. Keep this requirement in a subsystem & output of this requirement is a local signal (Signal Name: Vehicle_Turn_Status).
Requirement_2 subsystem:

- Keep this requirement as a separate subsystem. Inputs to this requirement are local signal from requirement 1 (Signal Name: Vehicle_Turn_Status) & an input signal from camera (Signal Name: CameraInput_RoadSign), which confirms the occurrence of a road sign.
- Signal Vehicle_Turn_Status is compared against calibration values (Calibration Values: RightTurn_RoadSign, LeftTurn_RoadSign, Straight_RoadSign), if each of them is found equal, then each of the three corresponding output is compared against the camera input signal,
- Using a logical operator block, only one among them is finally given as output signal (Signal Name: Vehicle_Direction_Indicator).
step3:
Right click on main subsystem -> Block parametrs(subsystem) -> Tick on treat as atomic size -> model configuration ->solver(fixed
step) ->sample time(0.01)-> code generation -> art.tlc -> app(embedded code) ->buil(generate code)



Step 4:
now we do requirement tagging for Requirement_1 subsystem:


After tagging it shows in top by clicking on it we jump to word file


like wise requirement tagging is done for requirement_2 subsystem:


Step5:
We connect display to Vehicle_Direction_Indicator side
Output
Straight turn :

Right_turn:

Left_turn:

Steps 6:
Code Generation :
