The 4 H “The cure for the common convoy. ” Jon Howard, Stephen Kerschner, Austen Haines, Collin Goodruff
Project Goal Ø Develop a method to detect and avoid obstacles while maintaining formation. ØDefine technique to be utilized ØDisplay warning and suggested collision avoidance method to driver. ØDetect on-coming traffic and factor into decision process.
What does the H 4 have to offer? Ø Based on Simplicity Ø Utilizes Multi-use Technology ØComparatively Inexpensive ØAllows for Easy Black-Out Maneuverability
Design Specifications Mid-Range Radar • 10 m to 50 m detection Range Live Satellite Feed • Laptop with integrated display. IR 360 Thermal Imager + Night Vision
Camera Details IR 360 Thermal Imager • Long range Germanium FLIR optics • CCTV camera • Image intensified generation 3 night vision camera IR 360 Thermal Imager Range: Human Sized Object 4. 5 km
Color Infrared Image Generation 3 Night Vision White Hot Infrared Image
Display Laptop Screen Divided
Final Design IR-360 Camera mounted in center with two needed antennas for radar. Radar Antenna
Calculations Considered During Design Process Ø 50 km/hr = 13. 89 m/s Ø Time to react: 50 m/13. 98 meters per second = 3. 6 seconds to react Ø Turning Time = 2. 5 seconds Ø This leaves 1. 1 seconds to relay orders Ø Stopping time is 8. 86 seconds at 50 km/hr
Material Cost. Mid Range Radar x 3 = $1, 500, 000 Thermal/Night Vision Camera = 21, 000 Headsets x 3 = $1, 600 Laptop x 3 =$6, 000 Total Material Cost = $1, 528, 600 Labor Cost. Projected Time To Install = 8 hours per vehicle x 2 Technicians per vehicle at $30/hr x 3 total vehicles =$1440 +test cost of $2, 880 =5760 Total Basic Cost= $1, 534, 360 X 1. 3 Total Cost = $1, 994, 668 Price per Vehicle=$664, 889. 34 Cost
Conclusion Ø Simple and Highly Effective Ø Incorporates Several Different Technologies into One Heads Up Display Ø Allows for Blackout Maneuverability Ø Can Detect Long Range
