DESIGN OF TRAFFIC MONITORING AND SAFETY SYSTEM

Electronics, Road safety,

Road accidents have become more often nowadays. They lead to loss of property and most important lives of people. In most of the cases accidents occur when vehicles are fast and also there is least visibility of upcoming obstacles in path. This less visibility or no visibility of obstacle is dangerous because driver anticipating the obstacle and the sudden appearance of obstacle can lead to loss of control on vehicles and cause a road accident. Problems here are that vehicles aren’t visible in path when there is a curve bends, U turns or underground corners. These situations get more worse when conditions are foggy or rainy. If the driver is aware of these obstacles in path well before, they can get more time to react and less chances of getting frightened and lose control on wheels. Hence, we have designed a traffic safety system which can help driver to be alert if there is an obstacle on upcoming path which is not visible by use of electronic devices. Sensors are placed on different spots of roads like U-turns, Sharp bends or curve and underground parking lots. These sensors are connected to the LEDs via transmission cables. These LEDs will flash when any obstacle or vehicle comes in sensor rays. This flashing light will alert driver of some obstacle in path so they can slow down and align their cars accordingly to avoid collision. This proposed solution can be very useful than the other methods because it is simple that is less complex and easy to setup. Other methods or solution proposed are ineffective at very long ranges. They take up some space and power from vehicles whereas proposed solution by us needs no power or space in vehicle since, complete setup is outside the vehicle. Also, other systems are based on wireless systems which can get some delays in transfer of feedback which can be devastating whereas, proposed system by us is completely stationery setup with transmission cables. So least transfer issues and almost no connectivity issues.
