Item Collision avoidance and Drone surveillance using Thread protocol in V2V and V2I communications(IEEE, 2019-07) Chitanvis, Rajas; Ravi, Niranjan; Zantye, Tanmay; El-Sharkawy, Mohamed; Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering and TechnologyAccording to the World Health Organizations (WHO) report nearly 1.25 million people die in road accidents every year. This creates a need for Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) which can ensure safe travel. To tackle the above challenge in existing the ADAS, Intra-vehicular communications (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure communications (V2I) has been one of the predominant research topics nowadays due to the rapid growth of automobile industries and ideology of producing autonomous cars in the near future. The key feature of V2V communication is vehicle to vehicle collision detection by transmitting information like vehicle speed and position of a vehicle to other vehicles in the same location using wireless sensor networks (WSN). On the other hand, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems are growing at a rapid rate in various aspects of life including dispatch of medicines and undergo video surveillance during an emergency due to less air traffic. This paper demonstrates the practice of integrating V2V communication with Thread, one of the low power WSN for data transmission, to initiate adaptive cruise control in a vehicle during a crisis. Also, UAV systems are employed as a part of V2I system to provide aerial view video surveillance if any accident occurs.Item Integration of UAVs with Real Time Operating Systems using UAVCAN(IEEE, 2019-10) Ravi, Niranjan; El-Sharkawy, Mohamed; Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering and TechnologyIn todays world, the applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems are leaping by extending their scope from military applications on to commercial and medical sectors as well. Owing to this commercialization, the necessity to append external hardware with UAV systems becomes inevitable. This external hardware could aid in enabling wireless data transfer between the UAV system and remote Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) using low powered architecture like Thread, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The data is being transmitted from the flight controller to the ground control station using MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) protocol. The ideal aim of this research is to address the issues of integrating different hardware with the flight controller of the UAV system using a light-weight protocol called UAVCAN. This approach would result in reduced wiring and would harness the problem of integrating multiple systems to UAV.
