Abstract:
Driving in mountainous areas or around sharp corners requires attention, skill
experience and vehicles being in good mechanical conditions. This is because of the
nature of its complexity if any of these factors is missing, the chances of accidents are
increased. Despite all these factors being present, there are still situations which can
still put drivers at risk of having a collision kind of accident. From Observation roads
in mountainous areas are not always broad enough because of difficulty in constructing
them due to the bad terrain and rocky mountain sides.
Drivers in such places must be very careful while approaching such points by reducing
the speed or keeping the car alarm on in case there is any car approaching from the
other side. A speeding Vehicle could collide into another vehicle in such places due
failure to notice sign posts and warnings. This is common especially in cases where the
driver is not familiar with the road. The project being reported solves this problem by
reducing the chances and possibilities of collision or accidents in such areas.
Using RF technology, the driver is provided with enough information about the status
and nature of the road in time before it is too late. The system has control modules
which keep transmitting information about the status of the road. The driver is warned
in advance with an alarm inside the car and a display on a small screen when he
approaches such places and another alarm and display informing him of any traffic
ahead of him where he is not able to see. The driver is now able to now able to approach
such places with confidence being aware of the status of the road.
The system is able to solve the problem of drivers entering corners unaware hence
reducing the risk of accidents and collisions around such places. The report gives the
details of implementation, development and testing in chapter four and five. The
different tools and technologies used are explained and expanded. The report also
contains a circuit diagram showing how the different components were put together,
the budget, and time frame and finalizes with technical recommendations in the last
chapter six.
