Abstract
In this paper, a solar energy driven wearable autonomous smart cap for pedestrian safety has been proposed. A flexible solar panel capable of providing 10.2V and 120mA has been used as means of powering up wearable smart cap. The objective is to introduce cost-effective, autonomous and user-friendly device for avoiding pedestrian accidents on roads due to the use of mobile phones as the usage of mobile phones by the pedestrians is a vital concern of safety. There has been immense increase in the number of accidents noticed in the past few years due to the massive use of mobile phones on the roads. The flexible solar panel has been used as the means to power the cap. The flexible solar panel employed in the proposed system has very less weight and is extremely flexible which make it feasible to be installed on the cap. The idea of using a flexible solar panel has the grounds for eliminating the dependency of the proposed smart cap on primary batteries which gets fueled up with time. The propounded system is an efficient system which has the ability to detect the obstacle in the path of a mobile user and alert the pedestrian in a user-friendly manner in order to avoid the accident. The propounded system has been tested with the various volunteers and the response has been very much positive. The proposed system has been reviewed as accurate and user-friendly.
