This week, our team went on-site to the FDOT Operations Center to collect data from our radar sensor. We plan to use this data to improve our hardware setup to maximize the range and accuracy of vehicle detection, as well… Read More

This week, we were able to start gathering data from the radar device and visualize the data on a graph. Below is a video that demonstrates how the radar picks up an object from a distance. Note that the orange… Read More

This week we finally got to interfacing with our radar module. We had a couple of set backs that have delayed us fully interfacing with the radar module so although we can now flash it we are unable to read… Read More

Coming out of the PDR presentation last week, we have a clearer and more thorough understanding of when and in what instances our alert system would be used. Taking these and other points into consideration, we have begun solidifying our… Read More

This week, our team presented our preliminary design review at the Florida Department of Transportation’s Gainesville Operational Facility. We presented the initial stages of our product to our liaisons and many other FDOT engineers. The experience was incredibly valuable, and… Read More

This week Road Response has refined the ideas we included in our Preliminary Design Report. While refining these concepts, we were able to come together on many questions that were crucial to our project’s success. How far away would a… Read More

This week, our team dedicated our efforts towards drafting our Preliminary Design Report, putting all of our research and work to date into a single document. On Wednesday, we got together to discuss our ideas and came forward with multiple… Read More

During our specification and requirement development, we were struggling to realize how the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT) was going to use our Alert system. Today, that changed, we finally met with our liaison and we were able to clarify a… Read More

This week our team spent time working on idea generation and this involved using various techniques such as semantic Intuition. Through this we got a better understanding of the stakeholders involved in this project. After this the next step for… Read More

We are Road Response, an Integrated Product & Process Design team from the University of Florida working alongside the Florida Department of Transportation. We are composed of 3 computer scientists, 2 computer engineers, and 2 electrical engineers. Together with the… Read More
