VIDEO ALERT AND CONTROL DASHBOARD SYSTEM

I. INTRODUCTION

Automobile safety is becoming one of the major concerns of auto manufacturers today. The engineers in this industry have saved many lives by developing injury-protecting devices, such as strengthened metal parts and inflatable pillows to cushion against physical injury, but have not developed anything to prevent accidents by foreseeing and avoiding them [5] . For this reason, the Video Alert and Control (VAC) dashboard system has been developed by M&M Enterprises. This system has the ability to "visualize" the road ahead and its dangers and to display this information graphically to the driver on a video screen on the dashboard. Thus, the driver has a view of dangerous objects in or near the road ahead and has time to slow down to avoid them. The purpose of this report is to inform product-planning executives at XYZ Corporation of the basic functions and operation of the VAC dashboard system and to explore the advantages it offers in terms of saving human lives and automobile damage.

This report does not provide design or manufacturing detail and is intended only to provide executives basic information with which to assess the feasibility of installing these systems in XYZ cars.
