Car collision avoidance system around sharp corners and mountainous areas.

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.
