Executive Summary This project is to find out the dynamic threshold value for the traffic lane extraction . At the early stage, we found that the threshold value of the image was the main item we had to solve. This is because the threshold value of the image can provide us the better image on the traffic lane extraction. Dynamic threshold value determination is to produce a continuous threshold value to the traffic lane extraction. By using the LabVIEW Program, we can easily extract the light intensity
between a vehicle’s mechanical systems and an actual human driver? Is it the software the blame for the accident or was it the hardware?

A very common question arises
electronics devices. It uses a version of these cells that is designed to be cheaper to producer and lighter than standard cells by removing some safety features. According to Tesla, these features are redundant because of the advanced thermal management system and an chemical in the battery to stop fires. Panasonic is the only provider of the battery cells for the car company, and cooperates with
