This explains the impacts that our design will have on different areas of the population. We will cover the areas of economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political.

I. Economic:

The first step was to find a camera that would be able to send the right resolution needed, or the next best thing, be able to send a compressed version of the picture at a tolerable speed. It was decided that an �off the shelf� webcam would probably do the trick. The problem was not the cost of the webcam, but the communication and lack of options that it represented.

After researching both these problems, the C328 camera was found to do its own video compression, and it had the resolution capabilities that were needed. Not only that, the bill came to $47.45, which works perfectly for the price range specified. The EE department is currently using a microprocessor called the 12C32. This is great because there is access to a lot of information about the processor, and it is able to �talk� to the CAN bus with very little additions. The 12C32 is priced at $59 which is perfect for the budget goal.

The CAN transceiver came at the staggering price of just $1.50. So now the total budget should be less than the same price as buying an �off-the-shelf� wireless system.

II. Environmental:

This project will have a positive effect on the environment. One of the reasons that the customer wanted this project was to help monitor the spraying of noxious weeds in agricultural areas. A big part of this project is to be able to see if the sprayers are actually spraying the herbicides. Besides saving time by the end user, the customer will be able to tell if they are doing their job effectively by being able to tell if they are spraying where they want to be.

III. Sustainability:

If the customer decides to put this project into effect, the system will be cost effective enough to use in many of their applications. It is versatile enough to be used in countless ways on agricultural equipment. This project is a prototype to see if the process is even feasible to be used into the future.

IV. Manufacturability:

Because all of these parts were able to be purchased in various places, there is no manufacturing that needs to be done for the hardware. Most of the design is just getting these pieces to work together in the existing CAN bus system. Because all the parts need to be integrated together, the software is the only thing needed to be manufactured. The only hardware issue that might come up is a power divider so that the equipment can be run off of the supplied 5V CAN bus, but that is very cheap and won't have a lot of hardware.

V. Ethical:

This project will only better people's lives by saving them money, time, and worries. It will have a positive effect on society as a whole.

VI. Health and safety:

The project has only a positive effect on people's health and safety. The power consumption is very low for the entire system and will not carry a risk of shock or electrocution. It also can be used for backing equipment or seeing underneath the equipment which might help prevent accidents. Also, a sprayer will be able to see where they are spraying, which means that the user won't have a spray that might travel to where people live or are.

VII. Social:

By saving the agricultural community time and money, people will be able to push more money into the economy and have more free time to worry about other important things in their lives. Also, there will probably be fewer lawsuits for people spraying into other people's fields or yards. In doing so, this will have a more positive effect on the agricultural communities themselves.

VIII. Political:

There are no political effects that this project will have except for the fore-mentioned lawsuits against people that are spraying onto other people's property.

IX. Conclusions:

The project will have mostly positive effects on most of the issues presented in this paper. The project will clearly be an asset to the agricultural community for it will be able to save them time and money. Even if this project is not to be implemented with the CAN Bus the idea of having the video on the tractor boom will be something most farmers and agricultural companies would want to have. The system will be able to cut the cost of re-spraying fields or cleaning up places that have been contaminated. The project will continue to be taken to the next level when GPS time tagging will be placed on the camera to determine where and when the tractor was spraying and this could eliminate a lot of legal problems for farmers. After researching every possible impact this project could mostly have positive impacts to the world. There should be no excuse to not continue on with this project.
