Road safety system for fog using PLC

Electrical Engineering

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in 2014, 9039 road crashes took place as a result of unfavourable weather conditions, especially fog, killing 5,300 people. With no system for mandatory driving skills training before issuance of a license, most commuters remain unaware of the hazards posed by such conditions. . Simple measures such as speed-control, following lane markings and keeping windows slightly down to hear traffic you cannot see, can prevent such tragedies.”Only Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Haryana put together had more than half of the total fog and mist-related road fatalities in 2016. Data show while fog-related deaths in UP decreased in 2016 as compared to the previous year, such fatalities increased five times in Haryana. Here we are planning to develop a system in which we are trying to solve the problem. We will count the number of vehicles entering in this area and that vehicle. Passing through all the sensors so if the number of vehicles are less than entering into that particular area that means something is wrong inside and automatically an siron will be raised and signals before that area will be red and barriers will be closed automatically so that another vehicle will not enter and will prevent to bump again. In this way the vehicle standing in the queue will be get notified that some kind of accident has been taken place ahead then they should slow down the speed, try not to overtake each other and maintain the distance between their consecutive vehicles..
