Monica/Rob's Group

Hi Lauren,

As we are approaching the end I think it is important that we clarify
the interaction between our two projects. I remember your group
having a "pedestrian finder" sensor for the pedestrians. How does
this work? Were you planning to embed existing structures with this
technology? Is it supposed to be in the signal?
-What types of symbols are you using, if any at all?

And anything else you can think of that would interact with our signal
lighting. If you can't explain in email then me you and Rob can talk
about it at school this week before Friday.

-Hope your break was good

cameras are observing the intersection (position doesn't matter)

like in this video http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=b88yD-02ANY
a software can track the position of cars and pedestrians.

with an infrared camera this also works at night:

different temperatures let the system know wether it's a car or human

the software calculates the exact position of all road users and decides on a lighting scenario
