 QUESTION NO.2 (6 MARKS)

Kayvon Inc. (KayvonInc.com) is a local startup that has been asked by the city to monitor and
record near misses and accidents between cars, bicyclists and pedestrians 24 hours per day, 7
days per week, and 365 days per year. Kayvon Inc. (KI) is planning to deploy video cameras
and dedicated computing at each busy intersection in the city.KI plan to capture video at a
sustained frame grab rate of 20 frames per second, 24 hours per day. They will provide privacy
to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians by denaturing the video at the intersection, before it is
stored. Since the band width from the intersection to the cloud is limited, KI plans to process
the streams of data at the intersection to identify near misses and accidents. They will then send
the data for just the “interesting” cases to the cloud for storage and potential further analysis.
