Abstract

Articulated heavy vehicle is the backbone for Malaysia economy especially on logistic industry. The increase of heavy vehicle on the roads made the rate of accident become higher. Head collision or rear collision are the standard form of accident for heavy vehicle. One of the reasons for rear collision is when the heavy vehicle having an accident, the driver does not have the time to push the emergency button. This is one of the reasons for the rear collision involving heavy vehicle. The fatality rate for an accident involving heavy vehicle is high due to high impact and others factor. The idea of this project is to create an automatic emergency lighting system to assist crash victims in warning other road users as soon as possible after the collision. An LED will glow up as an output from the system when the Arduino Uno receives the message from the acceleration sensor mounted on the front body of truck. The right system and circuit are designed using the Fritzing software. Real components used to create the system for automatic hazard light by referring to the fritzing software. The functional system used to carry out testing by using prototype which is toy truck. The LED system blink when the toy truck crash on the wall and when a car crash on to the toy truck. The reading from the crash taken to do the analysis. For frontal crash average highest reading detect by z-axis due orientation of the accelerometer that make z-axis detect front and rear reading. Lastly, the project purpose accomplished as it works and produce data.
