Roads

Abstract:
After drunken driving, mobile phone usage is the leading
cause of accidents around the world. Also, at sudden
stoppages on cross roads or due to sudden obstructions
on road, natural or otherwise the driver cannot
anticipate back bumper and side collision. Also, low
height railing or pavements in blind spots while parking
may damage the vehicle. Costly mobile phone jammers
while effective render emergency communication
impossible. As alcohol detection and vehicle tracking
system are successfully implemented we are proposing an
essential vehicle safety kit which is absent in majority
of the vehicles on Indian roads. Furthermore this can be
an addition to the developing cognitive driver
assistance system. The proposed system provides vehicle
with safety features like SMS alert facility, blind spot
detection and tail gating detector. The vehicle is
equipped with ultrasonic sensors and a GSM modem
interfaced with Nuvoton ARM cortex processor. The driver
has access to a user interface consisting of LCD (128 x
64 pixels), a keypad and switching ports. The driver may
access two modes of distance sensing with sensors
located on left, right and rear of the car. A braking
system is actuated in the parking mode if the distance
measured from the sensors crosses the defined threshold.
In the traffic mode the driver is alerted and can take
preventive action. In case of an emergency the driver
can send a text or call from the stored numbers in the
memory using the keypad. To save time and to maintain
the driver’s focus on the road a default text can be
sent to a default number by a single key pad entry. Call
service from the system eliminates the need of using the
phone and prevents driver’s loss of focus. Further the
freedom to choose the number and the corresponding
message to be sent is available when the vehicle is at
rest. The system thus prevent accidental damage to the
vehicle and its passengers while eliminating the use of
phone by the driver.
