Project Summary

Driver assistance systems (DAS) are one of the fastest-growing safety application areas due to the desire to reduce vehicular accidents and fatalities. This project proposes an intelligent DAS that exists inside the vehicle and assists the main driver in multiple ways. This project will provide both active and passive safety systems. Active features include cruise control, lane-keeping function, and emergency braking. It will also provide passive assistance during parking. Other passive features include lane departure warning, front collision warning, turn collision warning, and door opening warning. The warning functions provide the driver with a visual and/or acoustic alert. The project will use long and medium-range sonar and proximity sensors to develop the prototype and its testing in the lab. In the future, this DAS can be deployed in the vehicle by replacing the sonar and IR with RADAR, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors. DAS can also serve as a vehicle black box by data storage through On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port and gyroscope/accelerometer.

Project Implementation Method

Phase I:

The first phase involves the configuration of sensors.

1. Sonar sensors to detect distance for collision warnings and emergency brake system.
2. IR sensors to detect white lines in the arena for lane departure warning.

Phase II:

It includes the development of driver-assist features using data of sensors. It is further divided into two parts.

1. Passive Assist
   1. Variable frequency of beep concerning distance for reverse parking assistance.
   2. Alert beep for lane departure warning.
   3. Alert beep for a turn, side, and front collision warning.
2. Active Assist
   1. Cruise Control.
   2. Emergency breaks to avoid a collision if the speed is within limits.

Phase III:

This phase is not a mandatory project deliverable. However, subject to the availability of funds, components, and time, the team is motivated to achieve it. 

1. Adaptive cruise control will utilize data of sonar sensors to generate PWM and control speed of chassis DC motors concerning distance and speed of moving obstacle.
2. Interfacing impact sensor to detect collisions in accident/collision cases.
3. SMS Alert on emergency numbers with the location of the incident.
4. Interface gyroscope and accelerometer module to find out the sudden change in speed to detect sharp turns or irregular movement of the vehicle. The data of these modules will be stored on a micro SD card.

Benefits of the Project

1. Active and passive assistance to the driver.  
2. Accidents can be avoided or at the least, their severity can be reduced.
3. Collision avoidance at low speeds with emergency braking.
4. Multiple collision warnings.
5. Reverse parking assistance.
6. Cruise control and lane departure warning will help to maintain a steady speed on motorways.
7. Driver rescue in case of an accident.
8. Stored data will help in accident investigation.
9. The data can also help in insurance claim cases.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. Operating voltages: 12V.
2. Obstacle detection range:  up to 17 meters.
3. Adaptive Cruise Control: Vary speed with distance.
4. (Max speed up to 60 rpm)
5. Lane Detection Range: up to 3 meters (White line only).
6. Emergency Breaking: at up to 50 rpm.
7. Acoustic alert system (beep frequency varies with distance).
8. Stores system data for up to 10 days.
9. Chassis base prototype.
10. Plug and play system.
