SMART SYSTEM FOR ROAD SAFETY ON VEHICLES

Abstract

Pedestrian’s safety refers to methods and measures for reducing the risk of a person using the road network for being killed or seriously injured. The users of a road include pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, their passengers, and passengers of on-road public transport, mainly buses. Best-practice road safety strategies focus upon the prevention of serious injury and death crashes in spite of human fallibility. Safe road design is now about providing a road environment which ensures vehicle speeds will be within the human tolerances for serious injury and death wherever conflict point exist.

The basic strategy of a safe system approach in today’s present day scenario is to ensure that in the event of a crash, the impact energies remain below the threshold likely to produce either death or serious injury. However in this paper we present a system in on detection pedestrians, the speed of the vehicle is reduced to a speed, such that the vehicle owner can steer their vehicle to safety thereby protecting the pedestrians. Along with this, we also propose a sign board voice alert system so that the driver of the vehicle need not take their eyes of the road.
