Electrical and Electronic Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Fault-Tolerant Sensor Voting

This Electrical and Electronic Engineering final year project examines maintaining a bounded measurement estimate when one simulated sensor fails, with a bounded circuit, model or measurement procedure and explicitly defined evaluation quantities.

Why choose this project topic?

The project focuses on maintaining a bounded measurement estimate when one simulated sensor fails, making the engineering decision visible through measurable behaviour. Comparing fault detection, estimate error and recovery delay provides material for waveforms, calculations and a reasoned discussion of the trade-offs behind the selected design.

How do the selected circuit, control or measurement choices affect fault detection, estimate error and recovery delay when maintaining a bounded measurement estimate when one simulated sensor fails?

Agree the available approved equipment or simulation platform, operating range and comparison method for maintaining a bounded measurement estimate when one simulated sensor fails with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the operating limits, assumptions and reference conditions for maintaining a bounded measurement estimate when one simulated sensor fails.
  2. 02Use three low-voltage sensor channels or emulators, compare voting rules and inject stuck and drifting signals in software.
  3. 03Evaluate fault detection, estimate error and recovery delay and explain model or measurement uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Use three low-voltage sensor channels or emulators, compare voting rules and inject stuck and drifting signals in software. Obtain supervisor approval for equipment and operating limits, and use simulation whenever the physical setup is unavailable or unsafe. Record units, instrument settings and repeated observations before comparing fault detection, estimate error and recovery delay with a defined reference.

What you will need

  • Sensor emulators
  • Microcontroller board
  • Known fault scenarios

Keep your project scope clear

Redundancy in a teaching prototype is not safety certification for industrial control.
