Below are the updated risks:
| N | Requirement | Risk and Description | Risk Reduction Plan / Mitigation Results | L | C | Type |
| 1 | M.P.13 | System Does not Work in Real-Time
A certain subsystem(s) creates bottlenecks |
1. Find techniques to perform memory management for each algorithm
2. Use high performance processors (We bought an high-end system and received NVIDIA Titan V) |
5 | 5 | Technical |
| 2 | M.P.2, M.P.3, M.P.4 | GPU Memory Management
There is a GPU memory limitation to 12GB |
1. Optimize perception pipeline, keeping in mind GPU memory limitations from beginning
2. Plan on installing a second GPU on the system |
5 | 4 | Technical / Resources |
| 3 | — | Team Members Work at Different Pace
This might create delays in integration |
1. Meet twice a week to ensure no one is lagging behind their goals
2. Track progress on Notion 3. Communicate / resolve issues on Slack |
5 | 3 | Schedule |
| 4 | M.P.12 – M.P.14 | Interfacing Sensor with RC car
ROS integration of sensors and driver availability for ARM architecture |
1. Found FlyCapture ARM drivers and interfaced PointGrey camera successfully
2. Built Ti mmWave RADAR drivers and ROS packages from source for ARM architecture |
4 | 4 | Technical / Resources |
| 5 | M.P.12 – M.P.14 | Hardware Failure or Damage
Critical hardware components such as sensors fail or get damaged |
1. Plan the budget to accommodate repairs
2. Already have backup components, additional camera and RADAR sensors 3. Ordered a secondary RC car |
3 | 5 | Technical / Cost |
| 6 | M.P.12 – M.P.14 | Perception pipeline doesn’t work online on RC car
RC car’s compute is not enough to run the perception algorithms |
1. We ordered new on-board GPU for RC car to process perception and sensor fusion pipeline in real-time. | 5 | 4 | Technical |
| 7 | M.P.06 – M.P.10 | Error propagation further in pipeline
Perception pipeline adds uncertainty in sensor fusion and prediction pipeline |
1.We designed our requirements carefully to compensate for the margin of error for every pipeline. | 2 | 4 | Technical |
| 8 | — | Overambitious Requirements – We are unable to meet our original requirements |
