Accident Prevention Mechanism In Vehicles

Abstract

The road accidents are recently increasing at a fast rate. Most of them happen because of the carelessness of the driver of the vehicles on the road. THE ACCIDENT PREVENTION MECHANISM IN VEHICLES is an attempt to reduce such road accidents by implementing some extra features on the vehicles which can be controlled by software. This project is developed on the basis of certain assumptions. 1.Most of the accidents are happened due to the carelessness or the drowsiness of the driver. 2.The driver may not detect the obstacle which comes in front of the Vehicles, from a safe distance. 3.The different light systems of the vehicles are not properly used whenever needed. This project tries to minimize the accidents which may be caused by the inability of the driver to take sudden actions in a panic situation. If the driver does not respond properly within a time slot, then the vehicle automatically steers to a safe space and continues the journey safely. This system automatically switches on the different types of lights in the vehicle such as head light, hazard lights, brake lights and indicators whenever needed. It includes a special wearable spectacle to detect the drowsiness of the driver. It provides the safety mechanism by invoking the buzzer and safe parking, when it identifies that the driver is asleep by analyzing the eye blink. This paper relates to the system for preventing accidents which contains IR sensors, Ultrasound sensors, LDR sensors and works according to a logically developed safe program which is imprinted on the microcontroller using Arduino IDE. This system is developed to overcome the inability of the vehicles to detect the obstacle from the front side and the drowsiness of the driver and do the necessary safe actions thus, reducing the road accidents.
