Smart Safety System for Drivers in Vehicles
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Road safety has become a major concern with the increasing number of accidents caused by common driver errors, such as not wearing seat belts or failing to adjust headlights appropriately at night. To address these safety issues, this project introduces a Smart Safety System for Drivers that focuses on encouraging responsible driving behavior through automated safety features.The system includes two essential functions: Seat Belt Speed Control, which limits the vehicle speed to 20 km/h unless the seat belt is properly fastened, and an Automatic Headlight Dim-Dip System, which utilizes an LDR sensor to detect oncoming vehicles within a range of 100 meters and automatically switches to low beam to prevent glare. The hardware model required for the project is developed using ATmega328 micro controller and is programmed in Embedded C via Arduino IDE, offering a practical, low-cost solution aimed at reducing the risk of accidents and improving road safety.
