Abstract:
The vehicle performance has been continuously improved and the study results relating to the safety of car driving have also been continuously reported and demonstrated. Currently, this project focusing in safety of the vehicle which is to develop the prevention systems during vehicle reverse mode using by Arduino controller, linear actuator and ultrasonic sensors. There are also additional features such as visible LCD to display distance measurement with obstacle and also a buzzer to alert or notify the driver. The main objective of this project is to enhance the vehicle safety during reverse mode. There are lots of cases reported in Malaysia because of the children(s) died after they was ran over by their parent’s vehicle during vehicle reverse mode which the parents did not notice them. When the gear is shifted to the reverse mode, the sensors which located at the bumper of the vehicle automatically activate and detect the obstacle until 3.5 meter. If the system can detect obstacle less than 40 cm, automatically the braking system activate and the vehicle will stop immediately. At the same time the buzzer will alarm to notify the driver. This system can be installed to various types of vehicles which can avoid casualties and also to give confidence to the driver during reverse mode especially parking their vehicle in a small and narrow space. This system can be installed various types of vehicles.
