Model Highway Road Curve Finder
Abstract
The objective of this project is to inform the driver of the
vehicle about the forthcoming road curve so as to prevent it from accident
during the conditions such as mist etc.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is to prevent the vehicles from accident during
bad weather condition such as during mist, when the fore coming road curves
cannot be seen by the driver which results in accident. In order to avoid such
situation we in our project developed a new concept. This makes use of
ultrasonic sensors and micro controller.
The ultrasonic transmitter and receiver are placed in the
vehicle adjacently so as to receive the reflected ultrasonic waves from the
obstacle which was initially transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter. Here we
can set the transmitter's coverage range through the control circuitry. During
such weather conditions we can turn on this module and the transmitter then
continuously transmits the wave.
If there is any bend in the road, the transmitted rays get
reflected and it is received by the receiver. If this receiver receives the
signal then the controller identifies and indicates the presence of the road
curve and it is indicated through the LCD display and through the buzzer.
Using this, the driver can detect the presence of the sharp
road bend and can drive accordingly. This project will be more useful while
driving through mountainous regions, forest areas etc
