WEEK 16/17 (FYP 1)

Written by   on   in  
Title : Draft Report Submission & Components Survey
Date : 11 June 2019

Objectives :
Comparing the prices of each components from different stores or marketplaces to ensure that the minimal price for this project can be achieved.

Contents :
During week 16 through week 17, different type of stores that sells electronics components are being survey. One of the easiest way that I used to compared the price is by using Google (Shopee, Lazada, etc). The price that i found online is set as the base price before I continue searching through other stores.

Furthermore, at the last week of this semester, the FYP report progress has been submitted to my supervisor Dr. Mohd Zaki Bin Ayob to be checked before proceeding with the prototype. 

Conclusions :
As for conclusion, the purpose of doing online research about the components price is that the online price usually cheaper than the price buying directly at stores. The consequences is that the delivery might be too long or the component that is received might not be working well.

Title : Progress Break Down and Development for FYP1
Date : 26 May 2019

Objectives :
Shows how are the work have been divided over time and explain the timeline that is used to illustrate how the project will run for this semester.

 Contents :
Firstly, the i build a Work Breakdown Structure and try to divide the task into some manageable sections so it is easy to see the process of the project without missing anything important.


Next, after building the WBS a Gantt Chart is produced to divide the works into 17 week of duration throughout the whole semester. This chart will be seen by people about the outline of the workflow for this project.


Conclusions :
As a conclusion, this concept can be considered as a well-known and successful approach of project management practices. It is accepted as effective and useful way for scheduling, following and controlling the projects in which different tasks are aimed to be completed in a restricted time durations. They help you assess how long a project should take, determine the resources needed, and plan the order in which you'll complete tasks.

Title : Summary for the FYP1 Presentation
Date : 17 May 2019

Objectives :
Explains about the outline of the output from my FYP1 presentation,

Content :
1. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
a. Why is high-end car have this king of car safety technology :
  • High-end car such as Mercedes, Tesla etc. have their own rescue team so the user does not have to rely on the government rescue team.
  • Most of high-end car user are rich/important people, so they are their target customer to buy this technology compare to regular people.
  • The technology/system itself is not expensive (like my expected cost) but the reason why it can get expensive is because of the additional fees. For example, fees for their own rescue team, insurance covered etc.

b. Who do this project refer to call if an accident happen :
  • My target for this project is to imply the scene of an accident on a highway. The rescue team that I am targeting is the hotline that are registered for that highway.


2. PROJECT REDESIGN/IMPROVEMENT
For my project, it has 2 conditions where the first one is where the system will give a warning to the driver if it detects an unusual behaviour of driving and the second one where the system will call/send alert message to nearby rescue team when it detects an accident. There are a few things that needs to be improvised:

First Improvement
Instead of giving warning to the driver when it detects an unusual behaviour (e.g. Speeding), the system itself will also decrease the vehicle speed gradually or limit the speed of the vehicle

Second Improvement
When the system detects an accident and send alert message to the rescue team, how does the driver know the rescue team is on its way? So, I want to improve that there is a two-way communication between the driver and the rescue team. The team will send a respond that will notify the driver that the alert message has been received.

Conclusions :
For overall, all of the suggestion and recommendation from my assessor have had help me to improve more for my project. I really appreciate their help and will try to achieve some of their reccomendations.

Objectives :
The defense day is to guide the students to clearly understand about their own projects. Two assessors will be assign to a student for their presentation about the project selected.

Contents :
This is the week where I present my proposal to my assessors. This event took place on 8 May 2019 and Dewan Gemilang, Unikl BMI. The assessors that is going to assess me are Sir Saiful Yusri and Dr. Nor Amalia.


During the presentation, it all went smoothly as practiced with my supervisor last week. The assessor can understand and had a clear overview about my project. There are not much mistakes during the presentation but my nervous feelings is very strong. The Q&A session went well and the assessors had given me some ideas to improve my project in the future. 

Alhamdulillah the presentation went very well more than i expected and one of the assessors gives a good commend about the energy of my presentation.

Conclusions :

Title : Presentation Slide Preparation and Preliminary Result Analysis
Date : 1 May 2019

 Objectives :
Discussed about the presentation slide preparation and some methods to improve it. Next, the analysis of the market survey result for my preliminary result.

Contents :

For this week i have made some preparations on my presentation slide for my proposal defense day. This slide will cover these topics:
  • Project Background
  • Aim of the Project
  • Problem Statements
  • Research Motivation
  • Objectives
  • Scope and Limitations of the Project
  • Literature Review
  • Block Diagram 
  • Flowchart
  • Work Progress : Gantt Chart & WBS
  • Preliminary Result
  • Conclusions
After completing the slide, I sent the work to my supervisor to ask about his opinion about the presentation slide. After a few days of discussion, we decided to make a mock presentation as a preparation of speech for the real presentation.

The mock presentation went good and it gives me the exposure and ways to improve more about my presentation. There are a lot Q&A between me and my supervisor about this proposal defense day. There are some flaws in my presentation that needs to be improved but overall everything is in pace.

Preliminary Result
I have done some survey to test the marketability of this product. A set of questionnaires was shared to the community of my housing area and my targeted customer is a family person. This are some of the survey results.




From the survey that i have done, most of my customer doesn't really know the existing of this product in the market but eventually the realize the importance of this safety system to them. Thus, this is a big step for me to continue this project and try to make it happen and be the one that can contribute to the society.
Conclusions :
After a hectic week preparing my presentation, i think i am well prepared now with the help of my supervisor and friends. The result from the survey is encouraging enough for me to present my project to the assessor. There are some mistakes and error that need to be fix before the big day and i hope the presentation day will go smoothly as planned. Amin.

For this meeting, Dr Imran has give some further explanation and guide the student for the proposal report. He also explained in details about the basic idea and expectation writing for every chapter :

METHODOLOGY (Chapter 3)
  • In this chapter, it describes the methods and techniques used for the project. It can be explain about the block diagram, the main components used and the flowchart of the project. Must be explained in details so can gives a brief information to the readers.

PRELIMINARY RESULT (Chapter 4)
  • For fyp1, the Chapter 4 has been changed from Results and Discussion to Preliminary Result because for the first semester the project progress is not exceeding 30% yet.
  • In this chapter we can explain about the simulations that we have done or other results that we can analyse for the project and each result must be discussed as it will highlight the main findings, implications and significance of the project

ABSTRACT WRITING
  • It is the summary of the whole report that tells the readers about the function, problem statements, method used, results and conclusion of my project. This part must be written after i have finished the report. Since it is the summary to the of the whole report that i have done, i think it should be easy to write 

Conclusions :
To summarize for this week, for the methodology part it can be done easily but for the preliminary result part, i think i will try to make a market survey for my project. This is because my project is a product-based project so a market survey could be a nice approach for my project.

Title : Drafts on Introduction of the Project (Chapter 1)
Date : 30 March 2019

Objectives :
Produce a basic concept for my project. To start a project, i must strengthen the core idea of this project and get the basic knowledge about why i want to do this project and how can it be implemented.
  
Contents :
For chapter 1, I has to find the purpose of building/making this project and what are the problems in the real world that can support my statements.

Aim of the Project
To develop a system that will gives warning to the driver when it receives an abnormal data and gives sufficient information to a nearby rescue team when accident occurs

Problem Statements
- Number of accidents have been increased by years and the total deaths caused by it are still on a critical level.
- It takes time for the rescue team to know about the accidents. Because of this situation the rescue team will be arriving late at the scene that can caused the accident victim to die.
Objectives
Minimize accidents' response time for the rescue team to reach the accident scene in order to reduce number of human death due to rad accidents.

Scope of the Project
This project is to establish a method for the rescue team to attend an accident and the place of incident quickly

Limitations of the Project
This project can be limited due to signal connectivity

Conclusions :
I hope based on the drafts that i have made for my chapter 1 people can understand more about the overview of my project. Hopefully my objectives of this project can be achieved. Amin.

Title : Research on the previous methods/experiments (Literature Review)
Date : 16 March 2019

Objectives :
To ensure I have a thorough understanding of the project by relating with previous methods as references. Describe the relationship of each work to the others and try to identify new ways to give a fresh ideas to my project.

Contents :
Starting this week, i try to search and read all the previous studies that have been done on this particular topic which is Vehicle Accident Detection System and also studies the Transport Statistics Malaysis that can strengthen my problem statement. I will attach the link of some of my researches below :


Basically, the aim of this project is to develop a safety-system to a vehicle that can detect an accident and report immediately to the nearest medical center or rescue team. A project that uses the usage of sensors in order to gain data and the microcontroller will make the decision based on the data received.

From the research that i have made, i can summarize that most of the methods work when the car is already have had an accident but there are a few methods that gives a warning to the driver if the system detects an unusual behavior driving from the driver. This function is very useful as it can be used as prevention for accident from happening.

Conclusions :
In overall, after making some researches, i think it is the best way to combine some of the researches method into a new method. Some safety features may not be useful and some might be useful so i have to do some critical thinking to make this project applicable to all sorts of situations.

Title : Final week for Title Registration (2nd meeting) and Synopsis of the Project
Date : 10 March 2019

Objectives :
Explains briefly or summary about the second meeting for fyp1 students that was held on 8/3/2019 and clarify the essential idea about this project

Contents :
FYP1 Meeting
In the second meeting, we have been notified or informed that week 5 is the last week for the students to find their own supervisor for their project and registered their project title via FYP UniKL BMI website. Students who ignore the due date might have some issue for their project in the future.

Project Synopsis
  • Nowadays, technology rapidly growth, but people do not survive in their life after road accident because there are no emergency facilities available in our country. A major part of the accident is due to the uneven interruptions. If emergency services get the accident information in time, then many lives could have been saved. In this project, a smart-based vehicle accident detection and rescue information system is developed in order to detect vehicle accident and send the location information of the accident place to the nearest hospital or police station via GSM.
  • This project is helpful in detecting the accident and alerting the nearby help centre by tracking the geographic location. It uses vibration sensor which can detect the certain vibration when an accident is occurred, used an ultrasonic sensors for distance calculation and an accelerometer to monitor the speed limit of the vehicle. The controller gets the input from sensor and send the accident alert information to rescue team and family member and location of the accident place through GSM and GPS. It may sounds simple but it will eventually can be a method to prevent people from death that are caused by accidents.

Conclusions :
Therefore, although this project pretty straightforward and easy, I hope this project can be the other alternative method to reduce the risk of people dying caused by road accidents

WEEK 1 (FYP 1)

Written by   on   in  


Assalamualaikum, 

My name is Muhammad Syazwan Bin Mohd Shahrin (51211116179) and currently in semester 6 at Unikl BMI. This blog will be used to update my project workflow throughout my FYP.

In order to graduate as a student from Unikl BMI, i have to take and pass Final Year Project 1 & 2. Starting from this week, i have to find the best title for my project and a good supervisor to guide me about my project through the year. I have to use the knowledge of 5 semesters studying on Technical Electrical Engineering to come up with the best title.
