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) As per the objective of the project the model has benn developed :-

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).

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).

Code Generation:-

Result:

The vehicle direction determination is modelled as per the requirement, all the signals are defined in Simulink data dictionary. All input and output signals are resolved and propagated. since there are no errors in Model Advisor Report. Code has been generated using Embedded Coder.
