BLIND-SPOT ALERT SYSTEM

Abstract

Road accidents can happen if you neglect the blind spots when driving. As a driver, you need to identify the blind spots to avoid any untoward incident. There is the case involving motorist and lorry that accident because of the lorry driver could not see the motorist from the front blind-spot area. A child left unattended in a car can suffer the fatal effects of heat stroke in just 15 minutes. Also in February 2020, a baby girl died of heatstroke after she was left for 4 hours in the back seat of a multipurpose vehicle. It happen because of the father forgot and did not notice that he should send his daughter to the nursery. The purpose of this project is to develop a blind-spot detection device by using ultrasonic sensor and to design a software that can alerting driver by using wifi. The ultrasonic sensor will sense any object that pass near the sensor. Meanwhile the pir sensor will detect the heat and motion inside and outside the car. This two sensor will alert and send the data to raspberry pi. We used raspberry pi to send the notification or alert the user using wifi module and application.
