Implementation of Accident Avoidance Driving Assistance Systems for Hairpin Curves and Foggy Areas of Mountain Roads using Arduino

Abstract

Road safety is one of the foremost intentions on designing an accident avoidance driving assistance system. At the present time everyone needs to have an assurance of a safer transport system. The most dangerous roads in the world are mountain roads and curved roads with varying fog. Fog-related deaths are increasing as compared to the previous year. The main drive for car-to-car communication systems is safety and avoiding accidents due to collisions. The main objective of this project is to decrease the number of accidents taking place in hairpin bends and U turnings. The drivers of the vehicle were not able to see the other side view which caused accidents. In this paper a methodology is proposed to reduce these types of problems. It is mainly used to avoid accidents on hill stations because the driver is not able to see another side of the vehicle which is called blind spot. By using a signal and sensor based system, the movement of the vehicle is tracked by sensor and it indicates vehicle movement to the drivers using signal. This is done by alerting the driver by means of LED light which glows when a vehicle comes from the other side of the curve. Arduino is used for this purpose since it is a cheap and efficient controller.
