We are a group of graduate students currently studying at the University of Glasgow. This GitHub page represents our coursework for Real-Time Embedded Programming Project supervised by Dr. Bernd Porr and Dr. Nicholas Bailey. Our team is enriched by two members majoring in Robotics & Ai, one member majoring in Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
Our project, Cycle Buddy, is a system that detects cars that endanger everyday cyclists.
Once the car overpasses the biker's path with a relative high speed and within a close distance, the system can detect this unjust act and stimulates a camera to capture the car's plate number and recognizes it using a Computer Vision API.
Then it will send the plate number, its photo, and the relevant sensor readings to the mobile application through socket connections, which then stores the proof data in an online real-time database. With that information recorded as evidence, the bikers can then use it to contact local law enforcement to report the issue.
