Development Of Microcontroller Based Technology for Automatic Safety Control of Vehicle Braking System

Abstract

The Detection of a Drowsiness-based braking system is an innovative technology that aims to improve the safety of drivers and passengers by monitoring their eye movements and using that data to apply the brakes in case of an emergency. This system consists of an eye blink sensor mounted on the vehicle's dashboard or steering wheel, a microcontroller unit that processes the sensor data and a braking system that applies the brakes when necessary.The eye blink sensor used in this system works by detecting the eyelids' closure and measuring the blink's duration. The sensor sends this information to the microcontroller, which analyzes it to determine whether the driver is drowsy, distracted, or inattentive. If the microcontroller determines that the driver is not alert, it sends a signal to the braking system to apply the brakes, thereby preventing a potential accident. This technology is particularly useful for long-distance drivers, who may become fatigued after hours of driving. The system can also detect distractions such as mobile phone usage or eating while driving, which are common causes of accidents. The Drowsiness of the driver-based braking system is an important advancement in automotive safety technology, as it can potentially save lives and prevent injuries caused by accidents due to driver fatigue or distraction.
