Testing & Results

1st Trial

Concept trial was made indoors with volunteered individuals. This initial test reaped a confirmation of two out three modules working. Small adjustments were needed to be one of the two. The third was not responsive at all and needed to be looked at. The Bluetooth connection was deemed the issue as the primary module initially received a queuing request but the secondary did not receive the command. A re-connection needed to be established again.

Conducted a test again with some volunteers in a simulated four way intersection. In this test two different scenarios were tested, one after another and simultaneous arrival.

The initial test of one after another on each side of this simulated intersection had a total of twenty trials and from this total 18 out of 20 was successful.

The simultaneous arrival test was not as positive, with just 10 trials in total. This test was shorten as security notified us that we would need conclude the test. Five trials used two vehicles arriving and from this, only once were both vehicles were directed correctly. The four failed attempts only had one vehicle given instruction to proceed.

Next, three to four vehicles arriving was tested and from this, 0 of 5 completely worked. The breakdown consisted of three, 1-3 vehicles receiving an instruction, 2-3 vehicles receiving an instruction and 2-4 vehicles receiving and instruction.

Only once was there an error with module as one was flashing between red and green. The two videos below show a three car arrival trial.

Group -

Making adjustment to the enclosures and completing a two vehicle test were out of 10 trials, 9-10 were successful. The single fail from the trial was due to connectivity failure and from there we concluded the test as did not have enough vehicles or space to continue.

1st Trial

A live road test with some volunteers in a simulated four way intersection in the parking lot of Valencia College was made. In this test two different scenarios were tested, arrival at about 2 feet and simultaneous arrival. The setup was as followed below

The initial test of 2 feet on each side of this simulated intersection had a total of ten trials and from this total 9 out of 10 was successful.

Only once was there an error with module as one was flashing between red and green. The video below show a three car arrival trial.

A two vehicle test were out of 10 trials, 9-10 were successful. The single fail from the trial was due to connectivity failure and from there we concluded the test as did not have enough vehicles or space to continue. This trial was also held at night

Ending results from the trials have shown a positive for within 2 feet of arrival in either Day or Night scenarios.

The simultaneous has shown lower rate of success being a total (Day and Night) five out of twenty. In the simultaneous arrival the system failed to consistently detect, queue and give the adequate command. A override and fail safe was discussed to avoid congesting the intersection, by having the LED actions loop in a directional sequence when no action has been given in this situation.
