Hilly Area Accident Prevention System Based on Infrared Sensors

Abstract

Poor vision, steep inclines, and unexpected driving conditions greatly increase the risk of accidents on mountainous routes and sharp turns. Accidents involving head-on collisions are common because drivers don't always look both ways. An innovative accident prevention system including PIR and IR sensors, GPS, LED indications, and a buzzer alarm mechanism is proposed in this research to tackle this problem. To avoid accidents caused by unforeseen barriers, infrared sensors detect when a vehicle is in a blind area and passive infrared sensors detect when animals or humans are in close proximity to roadways. In the event of an accident, GPS can monitor the exact whereabouts of a car and relay that information in real time to rescue workers. When drivers are getting too close to potentially hazardous bends, a buzzer will sound an audible warning and LED indicators will show them the way. By facilitating proactive notifications, rapid emergency response, and real-time detection, this technology enhances road safety and, in the end, reduces accidents in dangerous mountainous terrains.
