Design Methods Comparison
Summary
The Design Methods Comparison project applied various system design methods to a well-defined, common system. The result was a subjective comparison of the design methods to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. The project chosen was a traffic-light intersection at a farm road.The Design Methods Comparison project was underway 1996-98. It is included here as a SECOE project by agreement with the leader, Dr. Terry Bahill, University of Arizona. It is retained here as a historical record with useful results.
