Arduino Based Collision Detection and Avoidance System

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 Keywords: Arduino controller, solar panel orientation, Sun tracking, Light sensors, Stepper motors, microcontroller programming, solar tracking algorithms, solar energy optimization, renewable energy system.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

In the mountain roads there will be tight curves and the roads will be narrow. In these kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from opposite side. Thousands of people lose their lives each year because of this problem. The mountain roads might lead to a cliff. The solution for this problem is alerting the driver about the vehicle coming from opposite side in the hair-pin bends. That can be performed by placing the ultrasonic sensor on the road in one side before the road curve and then will keep the LED light after that curve, thus the vehicle which comes from the one end of the curve, the sensors which is present in that curve will sense and makes the LED light glows also vehicle speed is displayed at the opposite side. By looking at the LED light on the signal driver can become alert and can also slow down the speed of the vehicle. Thus it saves more lives.

II. LITERATURE

In the developing countries accident is the major cause of death. The top 10 dangerous roads in the world are mountain roads and curve roads. In the mountain roads there will be tight curves and the roads will be narrow. In these kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from opposite side. Thousands of people lose their lives each year because of this problem. The mountain roads might lead to a cliff.

The solution for this problem is alerting the driver about the vehicle coming from opposite side in the hair-pin bends. That can be performed by placing the ultrasonic sensor on the road in one side before the road curve and then will keep the LED light after that curve, thus the vehicle which comes from the one end of the curve, the sensors which is present in that curve will sense and makes the LED light glows along with that buzzer sound and also vehicle speed is displayed at the opposite side. By looking at the LED light on signal driver can become alert and can slow down the speed of the vehicle. Thus it saves more lives.

III. DESIGN METHODOLOGY

This method can place at the mountain roads, curve roads, and bends. When vehicles is approaching the IR sensor will sense the vehicle. supported the IR sensor instruction the LED changes its respective colours. to point the motive force coming back from the opposite end. If vehicle moving far from the sensor, the sensor will sense the vehicle and therefore the green LED will glow. If vehicle present at either side the LED turns to red colour which indicates to manoeuvre slowly.

VI. FUTURE SCOPE

Our system is such a system which will be beneficial in roads like these and will also reduce the number of accidents that occur often. Here we are considering hairpin curves where the driver of a vehicle has no idea whether there is any other vehicle coming from the other side or not. Thus, our system when fixed at these dangerous curves will have proximity sensors, signals (RGB LED) and a counter, to aid the drivers. The proximity sensor senses the vehicles, and the counter keeps the count of vehicles present in that particular turn, coming from a particular direction. Based on the data of the counter, the signal will change its colour.

VII. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation given by Prof. S. G. GIRAM, Principal of AISSMS'S POLYTECHNIC, Pune and need a special mention for all the help extended by him, constant inspiration and encouragement to make my project a memorable experience. I am thankful to our H. O. D. of E&TC Department, Prof. V.S. Gaikwad for her time to time support and valuable guidance. I am deeply indebted to my internal guide Mrs. M. R. Talware, for completion of this project for which she/he has guided and helped me going out of the way. I am thankful to all teachers and professors of our department for sharing with me, valuable knowledge on their respective fields. I would also thank my fellow classmates and friends for their support and timely suggestions. I would also like to thank library staff and laboratory staff for providing me cordial support and necessary facilities, which were of great help for preparing the project report. Thanks to all!!!

Conclusion

Implementation of this system at a local level like societies, educational institutes, etc. can reduce the burden on the local authorities. The automatic waste segregator is one small step towards building an efficient and economic waste collection system with a minimum amount of human intervention and also no hazard to human life. Using a conveyor belt makes the system far more accurate, cost- effective and also easier to install and use at a domestic level. Segregating all these wastes at a domestic level will also be time-saving. While implementing our system we came across many problems like the sensing range of inductive proximity sensor, the accuracy of the moisture sensor, adjusting the range of IR sensors and some more, but using some modifications we tried the make the system as reliable as possible but not completely perfect.
