We have run the specified test cases and can confirm that all but two functional requirements have been fulfilled by the prototype. In the first case, due to the sensitive nature of calculating accurate speed readings of an oncoming vehicle, further testing is required on the prototype, as sensor values have been inconsistent. Secondly, while we are confident that we can simulate an emergency notification message, we have yet to implement this functionality.

Necessary adjustments were needed to simulate the lack of certain components. For instance, in FR6 the video was uploaded to a personal FTP account as an alternative to cloud storage. For notification of emergency services, we would like to simulate this function by sending an email message. With regard to weather conditions related to the requirements for FR7, given the absence of

The prototype is fitted with a fixed USB webcam, and the viewing is therefore limited in range.
Road surface
Retrieving weather alerts is an important of the system proposal, as Subsystem 2 relies on these values to recalculate the minimum safe following distances for trailing drivers. However, we are aware that an updated weather report of clear, sunny skies, for example, does not necessarily reflect the actual road surface condition. While further research is necessary to make this feature more accurate, the easiest solution might be the addition of another sensor, one that can detect temperature and/or moisture with direct physical contact of the natural elements.
Visibility
Simulating a real-world environment to test the visibility of the text on the LCD panel in all weather conditions was not possible. Glare, resolution, angle, nighttime visibility, lighting….
