Computer Engineering Department’s Capstone Projects Completed Successfully in Academic Year 2019-2020

Smart Cities was a common theme in the capstone projects for the year 2019-2020. We wanted computer engineering students to design projects to raise awareness about that topic among our senior students. Our students successfully finished 12 projects after six months of intense group work. We congratulate all of our students on their achievements, and wish them continued success.

RoadPulse: Pothole Detection on Roadways for Local Governments

Onur Albayrak, Burak Baran, Atakan Filgöz, Enes Karanfil and Umur Togay Yazar created a system named Roadpulse. The program they developed for Android systems collects photos, highways, and the surroundings from driving local government cars in this system.The program they developed for Android systems collects photos, highways, and the surroundings from driving local government cars in this system. Machine learning techniques may be used to analyze this data on both the client and server sides, and holes that need to be repaired can be automatically detected on roadways. The holes found were automatically marked on maps and sent to the qualified government personnel for further analysis. Enhancement and planning of repair processes are intended in this approach.

RecyclingSirius: Automatic Recycling Bin and Management

Rabia Arslan, Mehmet Mustafa Aymayan, Gizem Elöve, Celile Nur Ylmaz, and Enes Yüksekkolaşin developed the RecyclingSirius system to provide a less priced alternative to market competitors and to encourage people of all ages in Turkey to recycle glass, plastic, and metal beverage containers. A kiosk interface for end-users to recognize recyclable containers utilizing computer vision and barcode scanning technologies, as well as a mobile application for Android smartphones, make up this system. On the server side, tools for remote management and a tracking system for kiosks were also built.

Trawell: Smart Trip Planner

Soner Say, Berkay Uğur Şenocak, Serhat Ömer Yavuzyiğit, and Muhammed Said Zengin developed Trawell, a social network for city residents who want to visit a neighboring city. Trawell takes into consideration travelers' time, money, interests, and places to provide alternative trip ideas. Users can request a travel plan from the system via a web application or a mobile application on this platform. By scanning them on the internet, the system automatically offers users with tourist attractions, accommodation, road conditions, concerts, and festivals in that city.
