Abstract
Hello, we are Team America, team number 8, in Mr. Klinger's EDSGN class section 003, and we were asked to design a system of cameras and radars that would help army convoys navigate dangerous roads overseas in inclement weather. To do this, we followed a specific design process including customer needs analysis, external research, target specification, concept generation, concept selection, and final specification before we came up with our idea for the best combination of cameras and radars for this task. By going through this process, we found that three infrared cameras with two short range radars would be sufficient to help drivers avoid traffic and any other obstacles in the road no matter the visibility outside.
