Smart Roads: U-Turn Accident Prevention System

When discussing statistics of everyday road accidents in India, a very large contributing factor is accidents in hilly areas due to hairpin bends. These blind turns are highly dangerous and may more often than not result in fatal accidents. The low visibility results in the driver being extremely vulnerable to head-on collisions. Coming up with a preventive measure to this perilous situation is the prime focus of this paper. The proposed system in this paper is to, warn drivers of other vehicles at hairpin curves to avoid accidents involving human lives. This system is designed to allow residents and tourists to drive safely by warning them of blind corners and u-turns and reducing the possibility of accidents. This paper intends to reduce the chances of head-on collisions by implementing an accident prevention system. A prevention system, although new, should be comprehensible for a new user, to solve this issue, an existing system has been integrated with the proposed idea.
