Automatic Road sign Detection and Driver assistance system

Electronics and Communication engineering

In today’s world, road conditions have been drastically improved as compared with the past decade. Express highways equipped with increased lane size. Obviously, speed of the vehicle increased. So, on driver point of view there might be chances of neglecting road sign board while driving. This work has proposed system to help driver about the road sign detection to avoid road accidents. The automatic road-signs recognition is an important part of Driver Assistance System (DAS) which helps driver to increase safety and driving comfort. In this work, we are going to develop a system that alerts the vehicle driver about approaching road sign board at an optimum distance before encountering them. The objective is to design a wireless system that delivers road signs (and other road-related information) to the commuter inside his/her vehicle visually and aurally, at an appropriate distance before encountering the corresponding road aberrations. The final aim is to bring about a change in the current road safety standard by providing a more efficient and economic electronic alternative to static road signs. In addition to reducing dependency on road signs, the device will also aid in diverting accidents and traffic jams, and in better implementing traffic rules and regulation.
