Collision Avoidance Systems in Cars

Abstract

The main objective of this paper was to propose a collision avoidance system that could be implemented in vehicles to prevent accidents. Collision Avoidance System is a system invented to prevent a collision. Whenever a collision is detected, they provide warning to the driver. There are different forms in which these collision avoidance systems are implemented in cars. The various causes for a collision include carelessness of the driver, blind spots on the road to the driver and sudden break down of other vehicles. The proposed approach helped to prevent the collision between the vehicles based on the detection of the obstacles. The system provides information about the possibility of a collision by detecting them. These obstacles are the vehicles that come within the safe limit (the minimum distance that is to be maintained between two vehicles) of the vehicle. This helps the vehicle to take control action on its own. It also provides alert messages. This system is simple and economical. Simulation studies demonstratedthat the proposed system can prevent a collision. It is capable of achieving a realistic collision avoidance system. Experimental results of the proposed system under various conditions are discussed.
