In recent times most of the automotive vehicle accidents are increased day by day in India. Recent causes of the accident shows that more than 20% of accidents are caused due to health issues which occur to drivers while driving the vehicle. In the proposed project we had been monitoring the status of health condition of the driver by using sensors such as pulse rate sensor and temperature sensor. The heart beat rate falls below the lower limit and above the higher limit to the driver. The driver can be prevented from driving the vehicle when he is in extreme emotion such as heart attack, arrhythmias, heart stiffening or weakening, cardiomyopathy, stress, anxiety, depression etc. The speed of the vehicle is measured by speed sensor in the vehicle. The ultrasonic sensor which is used to sense the object placed in the front of the vehicle. The result is to create a system capable of contributing to the reduction of collisions. The driver who suddenly suffers from health issue especially heart attack while driving the vehicle cannot handle the vehicle because during heartache the movement of hands is difficult to control the vehicle which leads to accidents. The heart rate sensor placed in seatbelt of the driver and heat sensor in the driver seat. The sensors collect the data and send it to the control unit which interprets the data with the standard value and if some values are unusual may be in heart rate, blood pressure. The control unit sends out a warning signal to the driver and if the driver doesn’t show any reaction within the set time the braking system is actuated.

Abstract


In recent times most of the automotive vehicle accidents are increased day by day in India. Recent causes of the accident shows that more than 20% of accidents are caused due to health issues which occur to drivers while driving the vehicle. In the proposed project we had been monitoring the status of health condition of the driver by using sensors such as pulse rate sensor and temperature sensor. The heart beat rate falls below the lower limit and above the higher limit to the driver. The driver can be prevented from driving the vehicle when he is in extreme emotion such as heart attack, arrhythmias, heart stiffening or weakening, cardiomyopathy, stress, anxiety, depression etc. The speed of the vehicle is measured by speed sensor in the vehicle. The ultrasonic sensor which is used to sense the object placed in the front of the vehicle. The result is to create a system capable of contributing to the reduction of collisions. The driver who suddenly suffers from health issue especially heart attack while driving the vehicle cannot handle the vehicle because during heartache the movement of hands is difficult to control the vehicle which leads to accidents. The heart rate sensor placed in seatbelt of the driver and heat sensor in the driver seat. The sensors collect the data and send it to the control unit which interprets the data with the standard value and if some values are unusual may be in heart rate, blood pressure. The control unit sends out a warning signal to the driver and if the driver doesn’t show any reaction within the set time the braking system is actuated.
