Real-Time Traffic-Sensor Fusion for a Smart Intersection

FreeVerified credential4 weeksAdvanced

Overview

What this challenge is about.

Fuse radar, lidar, and camera data with Kalman filters on an edge box, then evaluate accuracy. Complete the challenge to earn your verifiable certificate.

The scenario

The Munich traffic agency (publicly funded, integrating with the Verkehrsverbund + emergency-services dispatch) cannot deploy adaptive signal control without trustworthy occupancy data — the fusion upgrade unblocks 5 follow-on projects.

The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

Design a real-time sensor-fusion architecture that cuts cross-modality disagreement from 12-15 percent to under 4 percent at 12 pilot intersections.

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

Design multi-modality sensor-fusion architectures with explicit noise models
Implement Kalman or particle filters for real-time cyber-physical systems
Validate fusion outputs against ground-truth video
Specify edge-compute + MQTT architecture for municipal-grade reliability

Canonical roles

Systems Architect
Systems architects make the decisions whose consequences are felt for years. The role is about choosing: which cloud provider, which integration pattern, which trade-off between cost and reliability deserves an Architecture Decision Record so the next team understands the reasoning. You'll work in C4 diagrams, ArchiMate models, and the AWS or Azure Well-Architected Framework, but the real artifact is clarity of thought. Strong architects know when to standardize and when to let a team diverge, and they write documents that survive a leadership change. Students drawn here usually loved their distributed systems course and are patient enough to think before they build. Growth happens through scars: owning architectures end-to-end, watching them strain under real load, and learning which abstractions earned their place.
