Abstract

There has been a recent increase in heavy vehicle accidents. This is likely due to the rise of ecommerce and the corresponding increase in the number of trucks on the road. These accidents can be very dangerous, and often result in serious injuries or even death. It is important for drivers to be aware of the increased risk on the road and take extra care when driving near trucks. Several data regarding this have been collected and most of the problem boils down to two things blind spot and turning radius. As we know since truck is huge it has a lot of blind spots thus creating various accident since another vehicle is not aware of this blind spot. This PSM aim to solve this problem by putting 4 sensors strategically positioned on the truck. The 4 sensor is positioned on the main part of the truck and two more sensor is placed in the back of the truck. The sensor will send a signal and will be displayed on the lcd and if other vehicle is dangerously close the buzzer will make a sound. Meanwhile the camera is for aiding during the truck turning.it works when the truck on the signal the corresponding camera will be toggled to ensure the drive is aware of the surrounding. This makes most of the blind spot fully visible thus reducing accident caused by blind spot.
