Driver's Mate To Prevent Accidents on Sharp Turns in Mountainous Areas

Road traffic accidents claim the lives of around 1.3 million individuals each year. Accidents in hilly areas contribute a large part to these crashes. The main reason behind these accidents is the lack of visibility at sharp turns. An economical and reliable system is required which alerts the driver about the presence of an object on another side of the turn so that the accident could be avoided. In this article, a system based on an ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, Arduino Uno, LEDs, and LCD is presented which can be easily implemented in the hilly areas to prevent accidents.
