Recent Research Projects

bullet Physical Rumble Strips Using Generated Signals
           Investigators: Matt Verreaux

        
Brief: Physical rumble strips are todays last hope in alerting drivers of their surrounds or emergencies.
                 
Rumble strips of these type save many lives, but have many drawback. This project is the research
                 
and development of signal generated rumbles that will be equivalent, if not better and solve the
                  many drawbacks present in todays technology.
bullet Wireless Computing With Mathematica
         Investigators: Joe Peterson and Matt Webb

         Brief: Mathematica notebook files were created to help students in the understanding of Linear Signals   

                 and System Analysis and Control Systems. These notebook files show fundamental ideas from the
                 classes and allow students to explore the ideas through interactive examples.
 
bullet Vehicle Detection and Tracking
         Investigators: Shane Ellis and Nitin Agarwall
         Brief: Reviewing methods of vehicle detection and tracking using video processing techniques. 
                  Preliminary research is currently looking at analyzing the sound information from the video.
 
bullet Voice Recognition for Home Automation
         Investigators: David Olsen, Mike Metler, and Bob Flaaen
         Brief: Senior design project to control home appliances using voice commands.  (This research is utilizing
                  the resources of the Laboratory for Intelligent Systems but is not an official LIS project.)
 
bullet Image Processing in Mathematica
        Investigators: David Olsen
        Brief: Image processing done using Mathematica. Image recognition and filtering are investigated.
