Project 1 (Mini Project on Vehicle Direction Detection
Aim of the Project:- To identify the direction of the vehicle based on the camera input.
i) Development of the Required Model:-
Requirement-1 :-
- 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).
Subsystem is developed by the name of requirement which contain following elemenst:-
Requirement-2 :-
- 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).
iii) Creation of Simulink Data Dictionary:-

Same has been updated in the Design data of veh_dir_det_dd.sldd
iv) Requirement Tagging:-
A MS Word file is created which contain all the requirements and necessary information to develop the model appropiately. This Word file is tagged for both the subsystem requirement1 and Requirement2 respectively.
Requirement - 1:
- 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).
-
v) Signal Resolving and Signal Tagging:-
All the input signal are resolved at the root level of the model and propogated accordingly as shown below:-
Same is done for the output isgnal of the Requirement2 also:-
vi) Model Advisor Report Generation:-
To generate the report we have to go over the Modelling tab and then there at Extreme left corner there is a option of Model Advisor and selecting Model Advisor in it.
vii) Code Generation:-
The Code Generation is made byy going over the APP tab and selecting the Embedded coder over there :-
