A Simple Arduino-based car safety system

DESCRIPTION

Our project aims to scale down and model a simple car safety ‘detection’ system using Arduino. The model comprises of four primary sensors:

1. Flame Sensor Infrared Receiver Ignition Source Detection Module
2. Water Detection Sensor
3. HC-SR04-Ultrasonic Range Finder
4. MPU-6050 3-Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor

FUNCTIONS OF SENSORS:

• The Flame Sensor Module is used for Fire Detection in a car’s internal wiring.
• The Water Detection Sensor is used for detecting the seepage of flood water into the car exhaust.
• The Ultrasonic Range Finder is used as a proximity/collision detector.
• The Gyro Sensor is used to detect the physical stability and balance of a vehicle; used in falls and flip overs, works along with the collision sensor

GENERAL WORKING:

• The sensors and the Arduino Leonardo board are powered by two segregate 9 Volt Batteries – this is to ensure sufficient power supply to all the involved components.
• Each device when triggered according to their sensor, produces a signal that is processed and displayed onto a 16x2 LCD Monitor. This process is mediated by the programmed Arduino Leonardo board.
• The LCD Monitor can serve as a means to know the cause of the accident and the component can be rectified accordingly.
• Additionally, an LED light has been programmed to produce an SOS light; a standard emergency projection in Morse Code to display a call/request for rescue. This is especially used for spotting cars that are underwater or in the dark.
• All the above modules are placed at appropriate positions in the model that applies to a real-life vehicle.
