Development of an Anti-collision Model for Vehicles
The Anti Collision device is a detection device meant to be incorporated into
cars for the purpose of safety. As opposed to the anti collision devices
present in the market today, this system is not designed to control the
vehicle. Instead, it serves as an alert in the face of imminent collision. The
device is intended to find a way to implement a minimum spacing for cars in
traffic in an affordable way. It would also achieve safety for the passengers
of a moving car. The device is made up of an infrared transmitter and receiver.
Also incorporated into it is an audio visual alarm to work in with the receiver
and effectively alert the driver and/or the passengers. To achieve this design,
555 timers coupled both as astable and monostable circuits were used along with
a 38 KHz Square Pulse generator. The device works by sending out streams of
infrared radiation and when these rays are seen by the other equipped vehicle,
both are meant to take the necessary precaution to avert a collision. The
device would still sound an alarm even though it is not receiving infrared
beams from the oncoming vehicle. This is due to reflection of its own infrared
beams. At the end of the design and testing process, overall system was
implemented with a constructed work, tested working and perfectly functional.Comment: 14 pages, 14 figures, Journal pape
