RANSO: A sonar-equipped environmental monitoring system for the modern driver.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
This project is an environmentally based system, one that protects you from weather conditions. Our system uses features like smart tires with automatic studs for ice, a sonar-equipped windshield for mapping out surroundings in foggy and snowy conditions, and a thermostat learning system that learns your preferences, always keeps the car feeling that way, and knows when to turn on to warm up the car based on your habits. The interface is designed to map the car’s surroundings and environment to the windowed surfaces of the vehicle during severe weather conditions that inhibit drivers from seeing. Just as bats and dolphins use sonar to detect and communicate, our interface would use an echolocation system to detect objects in our environment and help us navigate.
