Arduino Based Collision Detection and Avoidance System

Abstract

Abstract: In many developing countries the usage of vehicles is increasing. Vehicles became the basic need of people now a days. Approximately 24% of land area on the earth is covered with hills and mountains. As people can’t make straight roads in mountains, they are curvy. In the upgrading countries accident is the major cause of death. If we talk about dangerous roads in the world then all of them are mountain roads and curve roads. The intensity of the deaths are more in curved roads. In the mountain roads there will be narrow roads with tight curves. In such kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from other side. Because of this problem thousands of people lose their lives each year. while we are talking about mountain roads here other side might be lead to a cliff. The solution for this problem is alerting driver about the vehicle coming from other side. One of the solution is proposed in this paper. We can alert driver by placing Ultrasonic Sensor in one side of the road before the curve and keeping LED light other side of the curve, so that if vehicle comes from one end of the curve sensor will sense the vehicle and LED light glows at the opposite side as Red. By looking at the Red LED light driver can become alert and can slow down the speed of the vehicle. And still if an accident occurs we can save the life of victim by giving medical assistance immediately. This can increase the survival chances of victim. but this can happen only when we know the exact location of accidental place. This project presents an inexpensive but intelligent framework that can identify and report an accident to the family member
