Vehicle Collision Mitigation System

Abstract

Nowadays, the number of accidents is so high and uncertain. Accidents causes worst damage, serious injury and even death. These accidents are mostly caused by delay of the driver to hit the brake. Preventive measure such as improving visibility, auto headlights, windshield wipers, tire traction, etc. were deployed to reduce the probability of getting into an accident. Now we are at the stage of actively avoiding accidents as well as providing maximum protection to the vehicle occupants and even pedestrians. Hence in this paper, we make an attempt to propose a new automated vehicle collision avoidance system. This project is designed to develop a new system that can solve this problem where drivers may not brake manually but the vehicles can stop automatically due to obstacles by using sensors. Thus, this paper focuses on the development of a sensor based embedded system that can assist the drivers to avoid any sort of collision on the road in order to save the precious lives and also to prevent the financial loss.
