Smart collision avoidance and driver alert recognition (SCADAR) system

Abstract

Road accidents have always been freak and unexpected, almost 1.3 million lives have been claimed by motor vehicle based accidents till now. Accidents itself is a rectifiable phenomenon which could be partially averted by proper precaution and care. Using the ARDUINO series of Microcontrollers with compatible sensors and components, the accidents could be reduced in an efficient way. Whenever there is an obstacle while driving, this sensor enables the driver to know the obstacle or other vehicles heading the same way in case of a divider-less road. This kind of sensing provides the driver with a warning to slow down or change his current position far ahead from the event of an accident.
