Smart automotive sensor

The issue of safety system in vehicles is very paramount in order to ensure the safety of road user. Almost every day, there are a lot of accidents reported in our country and the saddest part is a lot of lives were killed and a lot of damages happened. One of the causes that lead to this kind of accident are because of the road user behaviour. Some of them did follow the rule that has been set up. Even though a lot of vehicles nowadays were installed with the safety system, the number of accident still increased. This is because the presence of those safety system are not convenient and effective to be used .Therefore, improvising the safety system in the vehicle needs to be done by bringing in the smart automotive sensor system that initialize distance in front of the vehicles. The smart automotive sensor detects distance between the vehicles and the obstacles ahead. The system has been programmed to detect the distance of the obstacle ahead about 30 inches (76.8cm) as to make sure that the vehicle keep a safe range distance with the obstacle ahead. Besides that, output devices such as LED, buzzer and LCD is implemented into the system. The buzzer and LED will act as alarms to the drivers meanwhile the LCD will keep alerting die drivers by displaying the distance of the vehicles and the obstacles ahead. The use of microcontroller, LCD displays, LED and buzzer as the main component were coupled together in order to perform the desired task of the smart automotive sensor. In this report, the data analysis of voltage and current drop at input and output section on simulation testing , breadboard testing and PCB board board testing were measured. This is to ensure that all the component used to build this smart automotive are functional and correctly implemented. In conclusion, some of problem were occur during the project development. Troubleshooting as well as numerous trial and errors are made to make sure the smart automotive sensor are made to make sure the smart automotive sensor as functioning as desired. Therefore, the smart automotive snsor were successfully developed and designed.
