Abstract

Accidents are one of the leading causes of death in Malaysia. Statistics show that accidents increase year-over-year in Malaysia. Mechanical failures, driver negligence, weather and road conditions are some of the factors that affect and contribute to increased accidents. The most common type of accident is the rear crash. The situation becomes worse if the driver is unable to turn on emergency lights or warn other drivers about the accident. This can cause other road users involved in accidents. In this project, the automatic hazard lights signal system in vehicle has been created to help victims of the accident giving early warning to other road users after the accident. This system uses a microcontroller as the main component that controls system functions automatically. Sensor accelerometer as a device that detects impact and abnormal movement on the vehicle. The sensor on the bumper vehicle will send the signal to the microcontroller to activate the system immediately during accident occurs. Impact and clarity tests have been conducted to identify the effectiveness of this system. Based analysis has been done, the system is able to reduce the risk of accidents caused by the overlapping of other accidents.
