Abstract

Nowadays, the number of accidents involving motorized vehicles is increasing especially the side collision of the vehicles when the driver attempt to change from one lane to another either to left or right which is due to the carelessness of the driver and unsighted the blind spot. However, the cooperation of technology can overcome this problem. The key element is the ability to detect the incoming vehicle in the blind spot area. However, problems rises when the sensor used for the system only able to cover certain amount of area. The objectives of this project is to develop and implement a device that will warn the driver about the incoming vehicles in the blind spot area by blinking LED and to analyze the system in terms of the range and the position of the sensor used for the system. For the methodology, the main components chosen for the system is an Arduino UNO and SRF04 ultrasonic sensor. The first experiment is to make an analysis on the range measured by the sensor by using different materials that is moving towards the sensor at 2 different speed which is at 10km/h and 30km/h. The second experiment is carried out is to make an analysis on the time response of the system with two different position of the sensor which is above the rear tire and under the side mirror with 45º slant. The third experiment is carried out to analyze the time response of the system with two different position of the sensor which is above the rear tire and under the side mirror with 45º slant with the sensor is moving at certain constant velocity. The result shows that the sensor placement above the rear tire is better than under the side mirror.
