ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to develop a case study based on an application that could use the ThreadX Real-time Operating Systems. It considers a real-time video/audio/motion (VAM) recording system that could be useful for numerous commercial mootorized vehicle fleets around the world. The VAM system features a small recording device that could be attached to a vehicle’s windshield directly behind the rear-view mirror to avoid intrusion into the driver’s field of vision. To complete the system, there should be a driving feedback system that downloads the data from the VAM system unit and provides playback and analysis. The VAM system is based on a set of sensors that measure G-forces experienced by a driver in a motorized vehicle. If the G-force sensors detect an accident, unsafe driving, or warning, the VAM system generates an interrupt so that ThreadX can take appropriate action and archive that event. The VAM system is a generic design and is not based on any actual implementation.
